This is the most distinct of all the species of the genus Euthyrhynchus, and is distinguished not only by 
the olive-green colour of the upper surface, but also by the amount of olive-green on the lower parts, which 
causes the tawny bulf colour of the throat to appear in strong contrast. 
It was first described by Professor Schlegel from a specimen in the Leyden Museum, and has since been 
discovered in the Arfak Mountains by Mr. Bruijn’s hunters, as well as by Dr. Beccari. Count Salvadori 
remarks on the affinity of this genus to the Australian Plectorhyncha, a fact also observed by Mr. Ramsay, 
who named one of the species Plectorhyncha fulviventris. 
Adult. General colour above dull olive-green, a little lighter on the lower back and rump; lesser and 
median wing-coverts, greater coverts, bastard-wing, and primary-coverts as well as the quills dusky brown, 
edged with olive-green like the back, a little more yellow on the primaries ; tail-feathers dusky brown, edged 
with olive-green ; head like the back, but a little more dingy and inclining to d nil ashy olive ; lores ashy 
fulvous ; eyelid and ear-coverts dull ashy, as well as the feathers below the eye ; throat light tawny ; breast 
pale pinkish brown, slightly washed with olive-yellow ; sides of body and under tail-coverts pale olive-greenish 
as well as the thighs ; axillaries and under wing-coverts pale fawn-buff ; quills dusky below, whitish along 
the inner web. Total length 5 inches, culmen 0.65, wing 265, tail 205, tarsus 0'8. 
The above description is that of a specimen which the Marquis Doria lent to us ; it is figured in two 
positions, and of the natural size.
