brown, the feathers streaked in the middle with green ; the neck, the interscapulary region, the breast, and 
abdomen green, ornamented with yellow shaft-streaks ; the streaks on the breast broader and more orange 
in tint ; throat dull green varied with red ; thighs red ; under tail-coverts green, very narrowly streaked 
with yellow towards the tip ; wings externally green, the median and lesser coverts very narrowly streaked 
with bright green, the lesser coverts somewhat bluish ; under wing-coverts and axlllaries red ; quills green 
on the outer web, dusky on the inner one, with a very broad yellow patch towards the base of the inner web, 
tail-feathers green above, red for the basal half of the inner web ; the apical part of the tail-feathers 
underneath yellowish olive ; bill, cere, and feet black ; iris orange yellow.” The sexes are alike ; but the 
young bird has the whole of the head dark hrown, with the streaks on the neck and breast fiery orange, 
more or less broad in their extent. 
The figures in the Plate represent, of about the natural size, two adult birds, drawn from specimens in my 
own collection.
