Adult male. Lores, superciliaries, ear-coverts, cheeks, and throat 

 black ; rest of head, chest, back, rump, and upper tail-coverts green 

 glossed with golden bronze ; a white pectoral zone below the chest ; 

 rest of breast, belly, and under tail-coverts blood-red ; wings black ; 

 bases of inner primaries and secondaries white ; outer webs of the 

 primaries margined with white, and those of the secondaries finely 

 vermiculated with white ; wing-coverts finely vermiculated with 

 white, forming wide-set but distinct wavy bars on the least 

 coverts ; middle pair of tail-feathers bronze-green with a black 

 terminal band, the second and third pairs are the same but with the 

 inner web black ; the three outer pairs are black, narrowly barred 

 with white except on the basal and middle part, and the terminal 

 white bar is not, or scarcely, wider than the preceding. Total 

 length 10-7 inches, wing 5'5, tail 6, tarsus 0-6, 



The immature male differs from the adult in having the three 

 outer pairs of tail-feathers either like those of the adult female but 

 more coarsely marked, or black barred with white, the white bars 

 being much wider, nearly as wide as the black, and becoming more 

 broken and less regular towards the end, which is Avidely tipped 

 with white. In this stage the present species closely resembles the 

 adult male of T. collaris, but may be at once distinguished by the 

 wing- coverts being hlack vermiculated Avith white, while in T. collaris 

 tlie exact reverse obtains. 



In less mature specimens the feathers of the white pectoral zone 

 are barred with black, the outer webs of the secondaries and the 

 secondary-coverts are mottled and tipped with rufous-buff, and the 

 under tail-coverts are mixed with the same colour. 



Adult female. Differs from the adult female of T. collaris in 

 having no white ring of feathers round the eye, and the white ter- 

 minal bars of the three outer pairs of tail-feathers narrower. Total 

 length 10-8 inches, wing 5-5, tail 6-1, tarsus 0-6. 



The immature female differs only from the adult in having the 

 ends of the outer secondaries and secondary-coverts tipped with buff, 

 the under tail-coverts rufous-buff, and the white ends of the three 

 outer pairs of tail-feathers wider and, as in aU young Trogons, more 

 pointed.
