pale yellow; underparts similar to the adult, but the dark 
zigzag markings less black, fewer and broader, and having a 
washed-out appearance. 
Another young male (Klang, Salangore, May 15th), also in 
the Hume Collection, has the irregular transverse dusky 
markings extending on to the chin and throat, but they are 
very faint; the top of the head red, and the irregular yellow 
markings on the back showing clearly, and even in the 
nestling plumage the feathers of the forehead and crown are 
sometimes tipped with red. As the bird becomes older the 
red on the forehead and crown increases, and in a specimen 
obtained upon August 16th (Jahore, TV. Davison) the red is 
beginning to appear on the cheeks. In this example the 
upper back is greener, the feathers with brighter yellow 
tips and having a spotted appearance. The length measure¬ 
ment of this specimen is 9*82 inches, and the soft parts are 
given as follows :— (e Upper mandible black ; lower mandible 
pale blue; iris brown; legs and feet pale bluish green, claws 
bluish horny 3 9 (TV. Davison).
