Barbets are confined to the old world : they are 

 of splendid colours, in which green and red predo- 

 minate ; they live in pairs during the period of incu- 

 bation, and in small flocks during the rest of the year.

 below the eyes, unites on the throat with that from 

 the opposite side. At the rictus of the beak is an
