I picked up this beautiful species in the rising Museum annexed 
to the Zoological Gardens of Amsterdam; and as soon as he became 
aware of the value of his bird, Mr. Westermann, as a compliment to 
Dr. Schlegel and myself, with a liberality of which few men even of 
science are capable, made a present of it to the Leyden Museum; 
where, duly greeted by Mr. Temminck, the typical specimen is safelv 
deposited. 
To complete the monography of the genus, I add the comparative 
phrases of the five other species, all of which have several beautiful 
representatives in the Leyden Museum.
