 of the chin ; cheeks and throat crimson, the feathers of the latter 

 lanceolate, and extending on to the fore neck ; sides of neck white, 

 extending nearly to the occiput ; remainder of under surface of 

 body white ; thighs black, tipped with white : under tail-coverts, 

 under wing-coverts, and axillaries white, with a patch of black 

 near the edge of the wing; quills below blackish, ashy whitish 

 along the inner edge ; bill black. Total length 6'5 inches, culmen 

 0-6, wing 3-2, tail 2-65, tarsus 0-8. 



* Von Pelzeln is probably right in calling this bird by the name of P. gidaris, 

 for the differences between it and P. cervicalis consist merely in the amount of 

 black on the region of the eye. As this certainly varies greatly in P. gularis, 

 it is quite possible that P. cervicalis may be found to merge into that species.
