broad deep-blue terminal band, much fresher and more intense in colour than in the 

 adult male. Wing slightly shorter ; but naked shafts of middle rectrices quite as long 

 as in the adult male. Seemingly first plumage. 



Another from Luzon ( ^ fide Meyer), in the same uniform light green plumage, but 

 with the blue of the terminal caudal band less intense, the wing much shorter, and the 

 shafts of middle rectrices naked only on one side, the naked part not exceeding a 

 quarter of an inch. A still younger bird. 



In an old Guimaras male the naked shafts measure an inch only, instead of two and 

 a half or three inches. 



If all these examples are correctly sexed, the adult male and female plumages do 

 not differ. 



I agree with Dr. O. Finsch (torn. cit. p. 404) in uniting P. discurus and P. spatuliger.

Hab. Luzon, Guimaras (Meyer) ; Negros (L. C. Layard). 



An old male from Guimaras, with the whole head, the nape, and cheeks blue, has the 

 uropvgium green without a trace of blue. 



A Luzon female {fide Meyer) has the forehead, crown, and cheeks green, and only 

 the back part of the head and the nape blue, a verditer shade on the uropygium. A 

 Luzon male {fide Meyer) exactly resembles the last, but has the middle of the back blue 

 like the nape. Dimensions in all three alike.
