Iris yellow ; bill deep salmon-red, tip yellowish ; feet 

 black. 



Total length in the flesh : male 312 mm. (= 12"25 inches) ; 

 female 292 mm. ( = 11'5 inchesj. 



Occasionally the young of the Red-breasted Lory has a 

 somewhat irregular purplish-black band across the fore- 

 neck ; the lesser under wing-coverts are usually green, but 

 sometimes blue along the border of the wing, and the inner 

 coverts are deep purplish-blue mottled with red and green ; 

 the greater series is yellow at the base and greyish-black at 

 the tip, forming a double band across the under surface of 

 the wing. One immature bird (No. 1081) is very remark- 

 able in having the feathers of the mantle yellow or red or a 

 mixture of both at the base and the margins purplish- 

 blue; a second specimen (No. 56) lias the upper mantle 

 crimson-scarlet with just a trace of purple among the 

 feathers on the left side. I am convinced, however, that 

 both these specimens are merely individual variations. The 

 upper tail-coverts in all the young I have examined are scarlet 

 mixed with green and blue, whereas in the adult they are 

 uniform scarlet.
