Capt. Wingate's collection contains a fine adult male of 
this species. It is evident that P. salvadorii Oustal. is perfectly 
distinct from P. derbyanus Fraser. Among other distinctive 
characters of P. salvadorii may be mentioned the red upper 
mandible, the purple-blue of the underparts, uniform in 
colour with the crown, and the absence of the pale brownish- 
huff band bordering the hinder part of the head and cheeks, 
so distinctly shown in the figures given by Fraser, P. Z. S. 
1850, pi. 25, and in Gould’s f Birds of Asia/ vi. pi. 9 (1858).
