Adult male. Entire back, scapulars, wings, rump and upper tail- 

 coverts, tail, likewise the shafts of quills and of tail-feathers, black, 

 the outermost primaries with only a spot of white at the extreme 

 base of the inner webs, the secondaries having their inner webs 

 white at the base for about an inch of their length ; nasal plumes 

 black ; forehead, crown, occipital crest, and broad malar patch 

 crimson, tlie feathers of the forehead and crown having greyish bases, 

 those of the occipital crest being white at the extreme base ; face 

 and entire neck, chin, throat, chest, and breast black ; under and 

 behind the ear-coverts, also the chin and upper throat, varied with 

 narrow and short white striations ; abdomen, sides of the body, 

 flanks, and thighs huffy white or pale buff, the thigh-feathers having 

 a broad subterminal black band ; veut and under tail-coverts black; 

 outer under wing-coverts black, the inner ones huffy white ; axillaries 

 butfy white. Total length 17 inches, culmen 2-^*, wing 8-7, tail 6-3, 

 tarsus 1"3 ; toes (without claws) — outer anterior 1-0.5, outer pos- 

 terior 0'95, inner anterior 0'7S, inner posterior 0'52. 



Immature male. Has the bases of the feathers of the forehead and 

 crown sooty black ; the red on the malar region duller, and the 

 feathers of the chin and throat and behind the ear-coverts conspi- 

 cuously white. Jn other respects it resembles the adult of the 

 same sex. 



Adidt female. Differs from the adult male in having the forehead 

 and crown black, the occipital and nuchal crest, alone, being crimson. 

 Total length 16 inches, culmen 2-1, wing 8-75, tail 6-2, tarsus 1-22. 



FIedgli»r/ female. Eesembles the adult of the same sex in the dis- 

 position of the red on the head, but it is bright scarlet, not crimson. 

 As in the immature male, there is also more white on the chin and 

 throat and behind the ear-coverts. 



The soft parts in this species are as follows: — "Legs and feet 

 pale plumbeous to leaden blue ; iris creamy white, creamy yellow, 

 clear yellow ; orbital skin very dark plumbeous : bill black, lower 

 mandible plumbeous blue to duskj' plumbeous " (TF. Davison). 



This species probably interbreeds with Th. feddeid, as I have seen 

 an adult bird from Malewoon having the rump-feathers white with 

 a subterminal band of black.
