" This species differs from M. indica in having its throat, and 
above and below the eye, orange-yellow, instead of sulphur-yellow ; 
in the much inferior development of the crimson gorget, which is 
little more than indicated ; in the black of the moustaches and ear- 
coverts being replaced by dull verditer, that of the crown being also 
considerably less developed; and in the abdominal region and the 
lower tail-coverts being uniform streakless pale green, more or less 
faintly tinged with verditer ; the feathers of the upper parts also, 
are margined with dull verditer, instead of yellowish ; and the nasal 
bristles are yellow at their extreme base." — (Blyth.)

great numbers, and feeds upon the ripe fruits, swallowing them 
entire." — (E. L. Layard.)
