greater coverts are blackish, margined externally with green. The under wing-coverts 

 are green, like the breast. The two centre tail-feathers and the outer webs of the lateral 

 feathers are grass-green ; the inner webs of the lateral feathers are red at the base, passing 

 into greenish yellow towards the tip. The bill is black, and, Mr. Gould tells us, " the cere 

 and orbits are dark olive-brown," while the irides are " orange, surrounded by a narrow line 

 of yellow." 



Total length 66 inches, wing 4, tail 2-4, bill - 45, tarsus 035. 



The female is said by Salvadori to have the red on the face less extended. 



We have observed no noteworthy differences between the thirteen skins preserved in the 

 British Museum.
