Above and beneath black, with greenish metallic reflections upon 

 the crest, back, and throat-wattle ; stems of the frontal plumes 

 white ; throat-wattle 3 to 6 inches in length, densely feathered and 

 expanded ; bill dark plumbeous ; feet black : whole length 18 inches, 

 wing 11, tail 7. Female similar in form but smaller, and mostly of 

 a brownish black ; throat-wattle very small. 



Hab. Guiana and Amazonia, extending southwards to Matto- 

 Grosso and Bolivia, and westwards to Ecuador. 



In specimens of this bird from Eastern Ecuador the throat-wattle 

 is much elongated, but does not attain to the dimensions of C. 

 penduliger of "Western Ecuador. In Bolivian specimens the throat- 

 wattle is short, as in the typical Amazonian bird.
