Count how many species, there are, both sexes of which are figure & described - & count how many in which the sexes "differ much" - I have said beak of ♂ T. atricollis & mexicanus is "of a beautiful glossy green & that of ♀ brownish" - in Harpactes faciatus (Jerdon Vol I p 201) I had better omit about faciatus I had said the lower surface of ♀ "is rich crimson & that of ♀ "ochreous-yellow"

T. caligatus ♀ not figured

p. 135 M. S.
