a large ocellated oval spot, of a very brilliant and me* 
tallic green. These are surrounded with two circles, 
the first black, the next of a clear brown ; and to- 
ward the end of each feather there is a bar of black, 
which, at the very tip, is succeeded by a narrow 
band of white. The legs, like the others, are armed 
with two spurs. 
The female has not been yet discovered ; and it 
may be remarked, that this species is by far the 
rarest in ornithological collections.
