a grass-green. The females are likewise different. The 
head, rump, and under tail-coverts are browner in D. chry¬ 
soptera than in D. magnifica, and the feathers of the front of 
the head have a very noticeable orange-brown tinge, remind¬ 
ing one of these parts in the male. The dimensions are 
also different :—

The male of D. jobiensis is distinguished from that of 
D. magnifica by the orange-yellow colour of the wings, 
which have a tinge of ochre, and by the slight bronzy and 
brown glance on the belly. The length of the wing is 113- 
114 millim., of the tail 48-50 millim. The female is very 
different from that of D, magnifica, being of a brownish grey 
instead of olive-brown, except on the edgings of some of the 
secondaries, which are more brownish ; the underside is of a 
clearer whitish. Length of the wing 113 millim., of the tail 
65 millim.
