Iris, inner ring orange, outer white ; bill orange ; tarsus black ; 

 pectoral bands and abdomen red. Another individual, obtained 

 alive from Jobi, was also of the red variety.

Iris, inner ring yellow, outer red ; bill and feet black. Length 

 36-39 centims, ; wing 18"5-19'8. These measurements are con- 

 siderably in excess of those given by Salvadori (long. 33 centims., 

 wing 17-18 centims.). 



In this series the Mysol birds can at once be distinguished from 

 those of Salwatti by the brighter blue of the back and uropygium, 

 and by the tendency to red coloration in various parts of the body. 

 Thus, in all the examples e-k the tibials are more or less red, in 

 some very brightly so. There is no trace of this in any of the birds 

 from Salwatti. AH the Mysol birds have the feathers of the fore- 

 head washed with red, all have the carpal margin more or less 

 marked with that colour, one of them very strongly so, and in four 

 individuals the greater series of under wing-coverts are similarly 

 characterized, while some of the primaries have a patch of reddish 

 yellow on the inner web. While in Mysol I twice saw a bird in a 

 flock of others, which had the front part of the head bright red, 

 apparently much as in C. scintillatus. 



This species was abundant in Mysol, in flocks of from 10 to 20 

 individuals. One that lived in confinement on board the ' Marchesa' 

 for some months became excessively tame.
