Glaucopis olivascens, Finsch, J.f. O. 1870, p. 324. 



Adult male. General colour dark bluish grej', very sliglitly in- 

 clining to browu on the lower back, rump, upper and under tail- 

 coverts ; forehead, lores, chin, and feathers round the eye velvety 

 black, these black parts margined with a narrow line of pale grey, 

 which separates it from the darker grey of the back ; wing-coverts 

 slaty brown, with a slight greyish wash on the outer wing-coverts 

 and primaries ; bill and legs black ; wattles at gape bright ultra- 

 marine (in life) ; iris dark brown. Total length 14 inches, culmen 

 1"25, wing 6-1, tail 6"5, tarsus 2-75. 



Adult female. Similar to the male, but more deeply tinged Avith 

 brown on the lower part of the back, rump, and abdomen. (BuJler.) 



Younij. Similar to the adult female, but more deeply washed with 

 brown, this colour extending over the entire upper surfoce ; wattles 

 smaller and of a paler blue. {Bulhr.) 



Ohs. Dr. Eullcr's account of the sexes and young birds seems to 

 be quite satisfactory, and is borne out by the specimens in the 

 Museum, Von Pelzeln's C'alhras olivascens is doubtless nothing 

 but the young bird.
