* The type specimen was presented to the Museum in spirit. In order to 

 ascertain the coloration of the plimiage, I had the specimen prepared as a 

 skin, and I have regretted doing so ever since, as the wattles at the gape, which 

 were quite distinct before, shrivelled up, and can now scarcely be distinguished. 

 In the accompanying figure they are reproduced from my recollection of their 

 appearance.
