Hob. Bourou. 



I do not know of a male bird existing in any museum, but 

 I think that the bird figured by D'Aubcnton was probably a male, 

 as the bluish tinge of the pileum is much brighter than in either of 

 the two known specimens, both females. The bill of the supposed 

 male is entirely pink in the plate.
