(back, wings, and tail) are rather dark green. The feathers of the interscapular region have 

 hidden tints of red. The throat is purplish black, with some blue streaks. The breast is red 

 and streaked with dark transverse bands, which are narrower than those of T. cyanogrammus 

 — a species it greatly resembles. The flanks are red, with wide green margins to the feathers ; 

 the middle of the abdomen is green, the thighs and under tail-coverts yellowish green. The 

 quills have the internal web, towards the base, broadly yellow. The under wing-coverts 

 are red. The tail-feathers beneath are of a dirty yellow ; their inner web is yellow, and 

 they become more or less reddish orange towards the apex. The feet are grey, and the iricles 

 reddish yellow. 



Total length 10 inches, wing 55, tail 4*1, bill 0"85, tarsus - 61. 



Count Salvadori was unable to note local differences of colour, and we found no striking 

 variations amidst the numerous skins preserved in the British Museum.
