DR. LATHAMS SUN-BIRD. 
brownish red. The lower part of the back and 
rump are very deep gamboge-yellow, almost Dutch 
orange, and following the red of the back we have 
the same lengthened plumes we saw in the last, of 
a dark greyish oil-green, and which can completely 
cover the yellow patch ; the wings are nmber-brown 
feathers edged with a paler tint and oil-green. 
Underneath, we have the maxillary stripes run- 
ning upon the sides of the neck, inside half of the 
feathers black, the exterior rich violet ; the chin, 
fore part of the neck, and breast, bright scarlet-red ; 
the remaining under parts dull greyish oil-green. 
Bill umber-brown, slightly paler on the maxilla. 
As stated, we do not know the locality of the 
specimen we have described, and in the collection 
of the Zoological Society there is one similar, and 
bearing out the distinctions from IF. Goaljjariensis 
we have pointed out, but the locality of which is 
also unknown.
