690 Mr. D. A. Bannerman on a Collection of 
there is no black band across the chest ; the two central 
pairs of tail-feathers are olive-green, and the remainder 
black, the outer webs being washed with olive. 
The immature females are similar to the immature males, 
but have the tail-feathers entirely green. 
A specimen in the British Museum from Durban has 
nearly assumed the plumage of the adult male, but the tail 
is almost entirely green, only the under surface of the 
feathers being edged with black. 
Mr. PercivaPs birds, from Mombasa and Malindi, as well 
as a third specimen from Mombasa in the Museum, have the 
throat of a much deeper scarlet than the birds from Natal, 
and have much more black on the feathers of the tail ; they 
are altogether richer in colour. But this is also shown in 
a specimen obtained in Portuguese East Africa by Mr. Claude 
Grant, so that the dark birds are not confined to the north, 
as I had at first supposed.
