 with a few emerald-green shaft-streaks on the feathers of the 

 hind-neck ; quills dull black, the outer webs of the secon- 

 daries and wing-coverts green, those of the primaries edged 

 with green ; tail-feathers dusky, being brownish-white 

 towards the tips and green at the base ; underparts below 

 the throat with pale bright greenish-yellow shaft-streaks, 

 becoming emerald-green on the ear- coverts, sides of the
