208. Nymphicus uvaeensis. 
Egd. L. Layard and E. Leop. Layard P. 2. S. 1882 p. 
408 pl. 26. 
Closely resembling N. cornutus, but wanting the red head, 
orange oceiput, and nuchal collar, and exhibiting only the faintest 
trace, if at all (in some, not at all) of the orange of the rump. 
The cerest also is totally different. In N. cornutus the crest is 
usually composed of two feathers much elongated. The feathers 
are black, faintly tinged with green, and broadly tipped with red. 
In N. uvaeensis the crest is a bunch of six, short, uptumed and 
entirely green feathers, springing from the end of a small spot of 
red, that oceupies the centre of the forehead, commencing at the 
nostrils. In N. cornutus the red cap reaches nearly to the eye, 
from which it is separated by the black of the cheeks, which fills 
up the space to the bill, and extends under the chin. All this is 
wanting in N. uvaeensis: the black is changed to a dark green, 
except just on the nostrils, and the ear-coverts and lower part of 
the cheeks are bright green. The broad nuchal collar of orange 
of N. cornutus is althogether wanting and there is no difference 
between the colour of this part of the back.

E. P. Ramsay, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales Vol. 6 p. 180. 
The whole of the plumage of a rich grass-green, paler on the 
abdomen; on the lower parts of the cheeks round the base of the 
lower mandibles the feathers are tinged with light greenish-blue; 
under tail-coverts light rich yellow; tail feathers blackish, outer 
webs green, the inner webs with a spot of bright yellow at the tip, 
decreasing in size to the fourth quill on either side; the centre 
two feathers bluish-green, shafts black. Length 3,8 inches; wing 
2,4; tail 1,25; tarsus 0,35; first toe (s. u.) 0,6; short hind toe 
(s. u.) 0,3. Hab.: St. Christoval. 
Obs. This species comes near to the ‘female of N. keiensis, 
but has no trace of the yellow on the forehead and there is no 
black spot on the outer tail feathers.
