 tipped with dull white ; shafts of quills black ; face and a narrow 

 band at the base of the forehead, chin, throat, and fore neck black ; 

 the nasal plumes and a broad stripe from the nostrils running 

 between the ear-coverts and the malar region a little beyond the 

 end of the former, as well as a narrow stripe running backwards 

 from the eye, buff ; entire top of the head and the crest, sides of 

 the neck and hind neck crimson, the bases of the feathers of the 

 hind neck white ; entire underparts and under tail-coverts crimson, 

 the feathers having brownish-black bases ; under wing-coverts 

 and axillaries pale buff. Total length 14 inches, culmen 2•2•^,

Adult female. May be distinguished from the adult male by 

 having the buff stripe, which commences at the nostril and passes 

 between the malar region and the ear-coverts, continued down the 

 entire side of the neck ; sometimes this stripe on the side of the 

 neck has a slight tinge of red. In other respects the adults of both 

 sexes are alike. Total length 14 inches, culmen 2-2, wing 7"33, 

 tail 4-3o, tarsus 1"4. 



Immature birds have less red on the underparts, and the bases 

 of the feathers are barred with dingy buff.

* Malherbe describes the back of this species as " bluish black," which it is 

 not. I can only account for this mistake bj the author having before him a 

 Bogota skiu in which the wings were, as usual, drawn together so as to conceal 

 the back.
