but the lettering of the plate contradicts this, while in the text it is said that both forms of 

 L. ochracea, the "red " one and the " orange " one, are figured on one plate, the lower figure 

 being taken from the Berlin specimen. There is, however, one plate showing a yellowish 

 male and a female, evidently from the Berlin birds, another meant to show (according to the 

 lettering) the red form of L. ochracea and L. rafa. With regard to my own plates, I must 

 confess that the lower figure of L. ochracea is not bright enough, and that Mr. Keulemans 

 lias not quite successfully copied the colour of the adult male of L. coccinea, while the 

 figure of L. rufa is correct, the bird shot by Wolstenholme being a little brighter than 

 those in the British Museum. Wilson's figure of L. rufa is also good in colour, and his 

 adult L. coccinea (in part i. of his work) is by no means bad in colour.
