Adult. Differs from N. coronata and from all the allied species in 

 having a -wide collar of vinous grey coTcring the upper part of the 

 mantle and chest; the black feathers on the nape are continued in 

 a thin line almost to the base of the helmet ; the white spots on the 

 mantle are smaller and less uniformlj- round : the helmet is very 

 similar in shape to that of N. mifrata or N. ptllorliyncha, but the 

 ■wattles at the angle of the gape are very much wider. Bare skin on 

 the sides of the face and neck, chin, and wattles red, rest of neck 

 bluish ; helmet horn-colour : legs and feet reddish dusky. Total 

 length 25 inches, wing 10'5, tail 6, tarsus 2'8, middle toe (with 

 claw) 2-2. 



In immature specimens many of the white spots of the adult are 

 represented by bars and markings of white, especially on the wings 

 and tail, middle of back, and breast.
