of cobalt-blue ; sides of face, ear-coverts, and cheeks golden green, the fore part of the latter cobalt-blue, 
like the throat ; remainder of under surface of body emerald-green, with a wash of golden green on the 
fore neck and breast ; on each side of the lower throat a spot of bright golden yellow, like the collar on 
the neck ; sides of body and flanks more grass-green, the latter with paler green edges ; thighs green, 
yellowish on their inner aspect ; under tail-coverts light emerald-green ; under wing-coverts and axil- 
laries pale yellow, slightly washed with green ; quills below dusky, yellow along the inner edge : “ bill 
black ; feet scaly green ; iris black” (J. W.') Total length 7'8 inches, culmen 0’8, wing 3*7, tail 2'35, 
tarsus 095. 
Adult female. Similar to the male, but with an enormously large bill (!), the colour of the sides of 
the crown and the sides of the face golden yellow, not so bright as the collar on the neck, but not so 
green as in the male. Total length 8‘3 inches, culmen 095, wing 3*6, tail 2 - 3, tarsus 1. 
[I discovered this fine Barbet at 5000 feet in high forest, but it is, perhaps, more at home on the 
mountain at about 8000 feet. It has a hooting-note rather like that of the last species. An immature 
bird is of a much less vivid green, and has the blue on the throat and head duller and greener than in the 
adults, and the golden collar is absent.]

The nearest ally of this species is Cyanops incognita , Hume, from Tenasserim. It differs, however, 
from that species in its larger size, in the absence of the black facial stripes and red loral spot, as well as 
in the colour of the throat, which is bright bluish green in C. incognita. 
I at first thought it might represent one of the many phases of plumage through which Megalcema 
mystacophanes passes before it becomes fully adult. A close examination, however, convinces me that it 
is a distinct species, different from any eastern Barbet yet known. 
[Met with on my first expedition at about 3000 feet, and again during my second at the same 
altitude. This bird at first sight bears a strong resemblance to the young of M. mystacophanes , so much so 
that it has remained nearly two years undescribed, though I had little doubt that it was a good species, 
the bill being quite distinct from that of M. mystacophanes, to say nothing of the colour. I was glad to 
find that Dr. Sharpe, at last, took my view as to its distinctness.]
