Length, 280; wing, 147; tail, 92; culmen from base, 19; tarsus, 23. Adult female.--Nearly all green; somewhat similar to the male but darker green above; the lavender wanting on head and neck, and orange wanting on breast, these parts being dark green; under tail-coverts pale yellow, more or less washed with cinnamon on inner webs. One female from Mariveles, Bataan Province, measures: Length, 280; wing, 148; tail, 93; culmen from base, 19; tarsus, 22. "Young male.--Resembles the female, but with some trace of the vinaceous purple color on the neck, and of the brown-orange on the breast. "Young female.--Has the rufescent color of the upper tail-coverts scarcely visible, and the central tail-feathers more or less tinged with green. "Some specimens have the forehead and throat more or less tinged with greenish, but they are not confined to a particular locality. I have seen in the Museum of Paris a variety entirely of a canary-yellow." (Salvadori.) "Its nest is a mere platform of twigs, grass-stems, tendrils, and leaves, measuring about 180 mm. in breadth. The eggs are nearly oval in form, pure white in color, and measure 31 by 24." (Bourns and Worcester MS.) Genus PHAPITRERON Bonaparte, 1854.
