Lord Walden on a further Collection of 
“ South Andaman: $, April 15, iris brown, bill dark 
brown, legs fleshy purple.” 
“ Port Blair, S. Andaman : June 13,14, 23; July 2, 3, 15, 
17, 23, 28.” (Wimberley.) 
With the exception of three individuals killed respectively 
April 15 and July 2 and 23, all the examples obtained have 
moulted the first primary, the new quill being developed one 
fourth, in others one third of its length only. The second 
primary also is not full grown, being somewhat shorter than 
the third. The specimens obtained on July 2 and 23, although 
having fully developed primaries, are of adolescent birds, the 
crown being smoke-brown, hardly suffused with green, the 
whole lower surface being fuliginous, without any green gloss, 
no white indicated in the chin and throat, and the patch 
behind each nostril rather rusty brown than white. These 
adolescent examples agree well in all respects with Malaccan 
individuals in my collection, in which, however, the frontal 
patches are barely indicated. An Andaman bird, killed on 
June 23, in full plumage as regards its coloration, has the 
nostril-patches and chin almost pure white.

* There was no such title given by Osbeck; it first appears in the ‘Faunula 
Sinensis,’ of G. R. Forster, and was added by him to his English translation 
of the German translation by J. G. Georgi of the Swedish original by 
Osbeck. Forster merely employed the Linnean title.
