Adult male. General colour slaty grey all over ; quills browner on 

 their inner web ; tail blackish at tip ; forehead, lores, and feathers in 

 front of the eye velvety black, as well as the chin and a spot at the 

 base of the lower mandible ; wattles rich orange, blue at the base ; 

 bill and legs black ; iris blackish brown. Total length 16-5 inches, 

 ciilmen 1-35, wing 6-4, tail 7-1, tarsus 2-7. 



Adult female. Exactly similar to the male. Total length 15 inches, 

 culmen 1-35, wing o-95, tail 6-7, tarsus 2-6. 



Young. More dusky than the adults, with the orange wattles much 

 smaller, but having no tinge of olive-brown either above or below. 



Ohs. This species represents G. wilsoni in the South Island, and 

 seems to have always a very much stronger bill. Neither the female 

 nor the young ever have a tinge of brown, as is the case with G. 

 wilsoni, from which it is also distinguished, in all plumages, by its 

 orange wattles.
