This specimen, according to Dr. Reichenow^s ^^Key,^^ should 
be V, nudirost7'is, as it is decidedly more yellow than green 
on the head, neck, and under parts ; but instead of having the 
grey neck-band distinct, it is only faintly indicated. I think 
that Prof. Reichenow must have made a slip in the descrip- 
tion of the characters which he gives for these two birds, as 
in the British Museum series, a broad grey neck-band is 
accompanied by a greener tint on the head and under surface
