is rather darker than the breast. The flanks, thighs, and under tail-coverts are emerald- 

 green. The quills and central tail-feathers are olive-green above, and all the upper 

 wing-coverts are green. The inner webs of the outer tail-feathers are greenish yellow, and 

 the axillaries and under wing-coverts are orange-yellow, mottled like the breast. The quills 

 beneath are yellow for part of the inner web. 



Total length 10 inches, wing 6, tail 4< - 5, culnien 0"8, tarsus - 6. 



The British Museum specimen is also green above, and the forehead and part of the 

 vertex are bright red ; but the vertex is also partly blue, and the red band extending between 

 the blue occiput and ear-coverts is much broader and more distinct than in the Paris 

 specimen, and the yellowish-green collar is lighter and rather more marked. The throat is 

 bluish, and the sides of neck and fore-neck are red, with transverse greenish bands. The chest 

 and breast are red, with fewer transverse bands than the neck. The middle of the abdomen 

 is red, with light transverse green bands formed by the margins of the feathers. The sides of 

 the body are red (with greenish yellow bands), much more red than in the Paris specimen, 

 while the green of the thighs is lighter. The under tail-coverts yellowish green. The quills 

 have the inner web yelloAV for about the median third of their length. The under wing- 

 coverts and axillaries are red, with more or less greenish yellow. The primary under-coverts 

 are dusky. The tail is considerably longer than in the Paris specimen, owing to a single 

 feather, the nature of which appeared open to some doubt. 



Total length 1225 inches, wing 5 - 8, tail 6'4, culmen 0'75.
