on the feathers of the fore-neck, breast, sides of body, and under tail-coverts. Total length 12 inches, 
culmen T4, wing 6'8, tail 6*3, tarsus T6. 
The young males at first resemble the females and have the bars on the breast. As Messrs. Salvin and 
God man have pointed out in their original description, the procedure of moulting into the adult plumage 
varies indifferent individuals, sometimes the green throat being assumed while the flank-plumes and other 
ornamental feathers have scarcely begun to develop. 
The Plate represents an adult male and female, drawn from the type specimens in the National 
Collection.
