TROGONID^. 



Adult male. Head, nape, throat, and upper chest dull black or 

 blackish grey ; hack dull orange-brown, shading into rusty buff on 

 the rump and upper tail-coverts ; a hroad white band covers the 

 lower chest and divides the dark upper parts from the scarlet 

 breast, which gradually shades into pink on the under tail-coverts ; 

 wing and tail as in H. Icasumba, but the markings on the wing- 

 covcrts are nearer and less distinct ; the second pair of tail-feathers, 

 except in the oldest examples, has a basal shaft-streak of chestnut 

 more or less developed, and often present also on the third pair : 

 bill bluish black, orbital skin smalt-blue ; legs brown tinged with 

 vinous ; iris dark browu. Total length 12"1 inches, wing 5-1, 

 tail 6"8, tarsus 0'55, 



Immature males differ from the adult in having the chest mixed 

 with grey feathers and the breast and belly with rusty-buff, some of 

 the wing-coverts and secondaries barred with buff; the tail-feathers 

 pointed, the middle pair devoid of terminal black bars and the outer 

 web and the margin of the inner web of the second and third pairs 

 chestnut, the rest black, but the amount and extent of these colours 

 varies much according to age. 



Adult female. Head and upper chest olive-brown, rather brighter 

 on the back and shading into rust on the rump and upper tail-coverts ; 

 lower chest, breast, and underparts rufous-buff ; wing like that of 

 the female of H. hasumba, but the rusty-buff bars are closer together ; 

 tail as in the adult male, but the second and third pairs resemble in 

 colouring those described for the immature male : iris dark brown ; 

 bill, gape, orbital skin, and legs cobalt-blue ; claws paler. Total 

 length 11-5 inches, wing 4'9, tail 6-5, tarsus 0-55. 



Immature females differ from the above in having the wing- 

 coverts and secondaries more widely and less regularly barred with 

 buff and the tail-feathers like those of the young male.
