This species is most nearly allied to T. margariiatus, from which the following charac- 
teristics will serve to distinguish it at once. It is a much smaller bird, the elastic hornlike 
structure of the feathers is still more developed ; the face is fiery yellow; on the point of 
each of the feathers of the throat is a metallic steel-black spot, the back and tail-coverts 
are greyish green, the under parts bright greenish-yellow, barred with indistinct wavy black 
lines. 
The specimen from which our plate and description was taken forms part of the 
collection of Mr. T. C. Eyton, who most obligingly lent it to us for figuring in the present 
work. The species is also in the Leiden Museum.
