Adult male. Parrot -green, yellower green on the under surface, the inters capulary region 
with a slight tinge of orange; sinciput, a patch on the throat and the meta- 
carpal edge bright pcjapy-red; rump and upper tail-coverts crimson, much 
darker than the cap, the basal part of the feathers yellowish green; under wing- 
coverts yellowish green, the greater series verditer-blue, quills and tail below 
verditer-blue, the ends and exposed outer part of the quills black (Xr. 1931 — Xorth 
Celebes). 
“Iris fight yellow; bill black; cere and feet orange” (Platen 77). 
Adult female and immature male. Like the adult male, but without the red sinciput (Xr. 1932). 
In the old female and young male the feathers of the forehead sidewards as far as 
the neighbourhood of the eyes possess a red basal half, shoAving through plainly, so 
as to give the forehead a reddish colour (W. Bias. 77). Iris of female brown 
(Platen c 7). 
First plumage. Like the adult female, but without the red bases to the feathers of the fore- 
head; throat without any red patch, a yellowish space occupying the spot where it 
appears later; carpal edge greenish yellow (Xr. 1933 — X. Celebes). A young one 
about a fortnight old was quite green, except its light yellow shoulder-edges; under 
parts lighter green ; nape light orange-tinged ; the red of the upper tail-coverts already 
perfect; bill yellow; feet yellowish brown (Meyer 10).
