vink. One of these typical specimens I have figured on the same plate with C. salvadorii, in 

 order that their difference in size may be readily compared. 



I find in five adult males of this species the following differences in measurements — total 

 length 4 to 4'3 inches, culmen 0-65 to 0-70, wing 2-3 to 2'45, tail 1'4 to 1-65, tarsus 0-6 to 0-65. 



Out of the twelve typical specimens mentioned by Count Salvadori (I. c), six were in per- 

 fectly adult plumage ; two were males in advanced moult ; three were young, and the remaining 

 one the adult female here described. 



Of the three young birds, one is similar in plumage to the female, but has the crown olive 

 like the back, and the chin and throat tinged with yellow like the breast, but not so pure ; in 

 another example the sides of the throat are mottled with metallic colours, and in the third the 

 upper part of the head is greyish olive, and the throat clear pale yellow.
