equal length, the 2nd is about 2{ mm. shorter and equal to 

 the 6th ; the 1st about 9 mm. shorter than the longest and 

 about midway between the last and the penultimate tertiary 

 feather ; the 7th about l\-2 mm. shorter than the 6th ; the 

 8th 1 mm. shorter than the 7th ; the 9th and 10th of equal 

 length and about 1 mm. shorter than the 8th ; the 11th 

 1 mm. longer than the 8th; the 12th 2 mm. longer; the 

 13th 2i mm. longer than the 8th ; the 14th, 15th, and 16th 

 equal in length to the 2nd and 6th ; the 17th 1 mm. shorter ; 

 the 18th about equal to the 8th ; the 19th shorter than the 

 1st, 



The wing's and the tail are much longer than in L. spicifer, 

 the bill is also a little longer. The tail is much more even, the 

 outer tail-feathers being only about 1\ mm. shorter than the 

 longest (in L. spicifer they are 5|-6 mm. shorter). The colora- 

 tion is nearly the same as in L. spicifer, but the breast is a 

 little more washed with olive- green, and the belly more 

 yellowish, less mixed with white. There is not the slightest 

 trace of elongated crest-feathers and the pileum is green 

 with indistinct dark spots in the middle of the feathers. 

 The wing-bands, etc., are just the same as in L. spicifer. 

 The bill is apparently blacker, not so whitish at the base of 

 the under mandible.
