Hab. Luzon, Guimaras [Meyer). 



In the adult plumage this species has the entire head, neck, and upper breast pale 

 ashy white, the occiput and nape being faintly washed with light green. Bordering 

 the grey of the breast and intervening between it and the ashy green of the lower 

 parts is a broad dark purple band, rather deeper in the middle than at the sides. The 

 under tail-coverts are cinnamon-colour. The under surface of the rectrices is slate- 

 colour, with a broad terminal almost white band, which above appears yellow , the 

 chin and throat and the space before the eye black ; remainder of the upper plumage 

 bright rich green, with a golden gloss in certain lights. From a Guimaras example, 

 noted as a male by Dr. Meyer. 



Another male example from Luzon has the abdominal region of a still more ashy 

 green, some of the ventral plumage being tawny. An individual from Guimaras, and 

 noted a female, has the abdominal region deep green, and the dark purple pectoral 

 band is represented by a large triangular patch of the same colour, a few purple 

 feathers on each side only indicating the position of the band. The pale ashy white of 

 the nape is more deeply tinged with green. Another Guimaras female {fide Meyer) 

 has the head, nape, and breast green, the forehead alone being bluish grey; the 

 abdomen is mixed tawny ashy green; on the breast is a limited purple triangular 

 patch. This individual resembles very nearly the figure in ' The Ibis' {I. s. c), only that 

 in the plate by Jennens the purple patch is represented much too low down, and the 

 under tail-coverts are not dark enough. It also agrees well with the description given 

 by Professor Schlegel [1. c).
