Adult male. Differs from the male of L. ic/nita in bavins the lower 

 breast and rest of the underparts black, most of the feathers being 

 edfjcd with a steel-blue gloss ; the feathers of the sides and flanks 

 •with white shaft-stripes* ; and the central tail-feathers white. Bill 

 white or horny white ; facial skin and wattles bright smalt-blue ; legs 

 and feet vcrmilion-red, spurs whitish. Total length 27 inches, 

 wing 11-0, tail 10--J, tarsus 4-3. 



An immature 9»«7e, in which some of the nnnp-feathers and longer 

 upper tail-coverts are black mottled with rufous like those of the 

 female, has the wing-covcrts, chest, and underparts dull black, with 

 scarcely a trace of steel-blue gloss except at the ends of some of the 

 side feathers, which have very narrow rufous-chestnut shaft-stripes; 

 the white central tail-feathers with narrow black shaft-stripes on 

 their basal two-thirds ; and a pair of short spurs 0-4 inch in length. 



* In most Sunaatran specimens (Euplocamus su7nafranus, Dubois) the majority 

 of the shaft-stripes are rufous butf or cliestuut ; but as tliis difTereiice is also 

 found, thougli in a slighllj less marked degree, in some of the specimens from 

 Bankiisooii. Tenasserim, and is not constant even in Suiiiatran examples, it cannot 

 be regarded as luniug any specific importance. In Tenasserim specimens it 

 is certainly a sign of immature plumage ; in Sumatran birds it appears to be 

 more or less retained iu apparently fully adult cxjimples with well-developed 

 spurs.
