Adult in breeding-plumage. Very similar to P. albivenier and 

 P. verrucosus, but easily distinguished by the different dispositioa 

 of the black and white on the head and neck ; in the two former the 

 ear is situated in the middle of tlie black plumage, but in the present 

 species the opening is in the middle of the white plumage ; the black 

 plumage commences behind the eye, passes along the sides of the 

 crown and down the back of the neck in a much narrower band ; 

 the crest and wattles appear to be less developed than in P. alhi- 

 venter, and, in the most adult specimens, in addition to the white alar 

 bar there is a large dorsal patch of the same colour. Tail composed 

 of 12 feathers. Iris brown ; naked skin round the eyes bright 

 French blue ; nasal caruncles saflron mixed with gamboge-yeUow ;
