band ; the abdomen and under wing-coverts are chestnut-red ; the four middle tail-feathers are 

 bright green like the back above, and dull greenish black below ; the rest of the tail-feathers are 

 chestnut-red, not so deep in colour as the belly. In some specimens there is a green blotch at 

 the base of the outer web of the tail-feather next to the two green pairs on each side. The bill 

 is black ; the feet brown with black claws. 



The female differs from the male only in having the throat pale rufous, and the chestnut 

 abdomen perhaps slightly paler. 



I add a list of the specimens of this species in my own collection and in that of Messrs. 

 Salvin and Godman, arranged in geographical order, together with their measurements.
