The specimen described by Mr. Sclater from the Smithsonian 

 collection was at the time unique and the sex unknown, it was 

 jested that possibly it was "a female of a more gaudily 

 colored male," and the hope expressed that other examples 

 might be obtained, to determine whether the sexes differ in 

 plumage. 



It would appear to be rather an abundant species and widely 

 distributed, as there are now before me fourteen specimens, 

 Bince received at the Smithsonian. These are from several col- 

 lectors and of both sexes; in general coloration there is no 

 difference between them, but the tuft of peculiar elongated 

 black lustrous feathers on the hind neck, seems to be a char- 

 acteristic of the male, and 16 entirely wanting in the female.
