224 VIvSCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS 



fully described both by Sonnerat and Temminck. In one particular his description 

 materially differs ; for Dr. v. Martens describes the head as being green-black, whereas 

 Sonnerat says that in his bird the top of the head is dark brown, and Temminck calls 

 it maroon-brown. The example similar to his own, which Temminck (Z. c.) mentions as 

 being preserved in the British Museum, seems to be no longer extant. Dr. v. Martens 

 thus describes the example alluded to by him : — " Head green-black ; breast wine-red, 

 streaked with black ; sides pale red, spotted with black." For full description of the 

 example in the Leyden Museum, cf. Blyth, I. c.

Brisson described from a Philippine example sent to M. Aubrey. He states that the 

 Philippine form is smaller than the one which inhabits China, and that Chinese examples 

 have the breast spotted with black. It is not improbable that the Philippine species 

 may prove to belong to the Celebean form, E. rtwmna, Gould, in which case both will 

 have to assume the title of lineata, Scop.
