Latham says: "Several drawings of birds probably allied to 

 this have come under our observation. In one of them the bill 

 is crimson, a broad streak of the same over the eye, and the rum] 

 and vent crimson also ; the crown rather full of feathers ; the whole 

 of the upper parts of the plumage and tail, beneath greenish white, 

 with a slight reddish tinge on the breast; tail short. In anothei 

 the bill was pale red, the streak over the eye and ruin]) crimson ; 

 tail short as in the other ; the plumage above greenish brown, 

 beneath cinereous white. 



"For these I am indebted to the drawings of General Davies, 

 and in those of Mr. Lambert I have remarked a third, in which 

 the upper parts were green, the under greenish white ; bill, streak 

 over the eye, and rump crimson; but differed from the others in 

 having the tail much longer." 



All these said to inhabit New South Wales.
