A young male, procured by Mr. Buxton, is not separable 
from Javan examples of the female, except that all the new 
rectrices are black. Javan and Sumatran females are identical. 
71. ^Egithina viridissima. (Plate Y. fig. I(c?)j2(?).) 
Iora viridissima, Bp. Consp. i. p. 397,“ Sumatra, Borneo ” 
(1850). 
Two full-plumaged males and one female were obtained by 
Mr. Buxton; and I am thus enabled to give a description of 
the female of this somewhat rare species. The upper plu¬ 
mage of the female is like that of the male, only not so dark 
green. In A&. scapularis 9 , ex Java, and in AS. zeylonica 9 
and typhia $ , the dorsal plumage is yellow-green. The 
colouring of the rectrices in AZ. viridissima 9 is likewise 
darker green than in AS. scapularis.- Underneath the plu¬ 
mage has a yellow tint, but not so bright and pure as in AS. 
scapularis and its allies. From the plumage of the head 
being dark green, the yellow orbits contrast more conspicu¬ 
ously in AH. viridissima 9 than in the females of the other 
species. The edgings to all the quills are greenish yellow, 
and not pure yellow or whitish yellow. 
Bornean and Malaccan examples do not differ from the 
Sumatran.
