 lower mandible on each side is a large whisker of 

 pure yellow, which passes beneath the ears 5 the fea- 

 thers at the tip are bright red marked on each side 

 with a small spot of azure blue, which adorns the

 colour passes by invisible shades into azure blue, and 

 forms a large lunule on the lower part of the neck : 

 the rest of the plumage is of various tints of green, 

 but deeper on the upper parts than below : the tail- 

 feathers are strong green ; and an edging of this 

 colour adorns all the outer webs of the quills, the
