12 ERNEST WAEEEN. 



Forehead liigli, but with a receding aspect, and not promi- 

 nent as in C. galerita. 



Ear-coverts pale bi'ownish-yellow or bufT. 



Exposed portion of eye, when eye-lids were wide open, was 

 circular in shape and measured 25 sq. mm. The edges of the 

 eye-lids did not exhibit granulations. Iris, very dark-brown, 

 not light-brown as stated in the description quoted above. 



Naked skin around the eye was irregular in shape and 

 extended much further below the eye than above it. The 

 -area was large, measuring 343 sq. mm., and grooved and 

 furrowed ; both it and the eye-lids were of a whitish-blue 

 colour. 



Lores red ; a narrow red frontal band was continued from 

 the lores above the insertion of the upper mandible, and a 

 rather paler red coloration extended backwards both above 

 and below the naked area around the eye. 



The bases of most of the features of the head, throat, neck 

 and upper chest were bright red in colour. 



Length of tail 4*75 inches (120 mm.). Under surface of 

 tail and wing sulphur-yellow. 



Bill whitish, the colour of boiled bone, proximally a slightly 

 bluish tinge and distally a yellowish tinge. The upper 

 mandible from foreliead to tip of hook measured 1"8 inches (47 

 mm.) ; depth from forehead to lower inner angle 0'75 inches 

 (19 mm.). The lower edge of upper mandible, when bill was 

 in a normal position of rest, sloped upwards towards the inner 

 corner at an angle of about 27° with the horizontal. The 

 hook was long and conspicuously curved, and the proximal 

 portion of the hook projected outwards and not perpendicu- 

 larly as in C. galerita. The upper edge of the lower 

 mandible was nearly straight proximally for about one-third 

 of its length, while the distal two-thirds was very deeply 

 concave. 



Cere feathered, and nostrils situated further in from the 

 insertion of the bill than in C. galerita.
