Adult female. Differs from the adult male in ha-\ang the top of 

 the head and the entire crest black ; the base of the forehead and 

 lores orange-brown ; the malar region, chin, and throat rufescent 

 buff, with only a faint golden tinge ; the fore neck shading into 

 the olive-brown of the underparts. Total length 10-5 inches, culmen 

 1-3, wing 5-7, tail 4"55, tarsus 0*9.5. 



The young have the undeqjarts dusky, with a slight olive tinge ; 

 the chin, throat, and fore neck smoky or brownish white, or dusky 

 buffy white. A very young male has the top of the head dusky 

 black, the posterior feathers tipped with red, the occiput and nape 

 being scarlet ; the occipital crest is very long. Females with the 

 throat and fore neck as above (dingy), consequently immature, have 

 no red on the head. I have never yet seen a female nestling. 



tSumatran examples are dull in colour, and Boruean specimens are 

 remarkably small.
