Adult male. Plumage black glossed with dark green ; belly, 

 imder tail-coverts, and tips of the tail-feathers white ; no wattle on 

 the base of the culmen, which is bright yellow ; tip of the culmen 

 blackish horn ; lores and the space round the eye naked and 

 black; legs and feet pale pink. Total length 30-5 inches, wing 

 14-3, tail 13-6, tarsus 4. 



Adult female. Crest white, tip and base of each feather black; 

 neck black ; rest of upper parts black, with narrow white cross- 

 bars, widest on the wing-covcrts and quills ; lower neck black, 

 barred with buif ; upper chest and, in some specimens, the sides of 

 the breast buff, barred with black ; the rest of the underparts pale 

 rufous buff, palest on the belly and under tail-coverts ; most speci- 

 mens have the tail black, barred with white, but in what appears to 

 be the most mature specimen the white bars are wanting and the 

 whole of the barring on the upper parts is very narrow : it there- 

 fore seems probable that the barring decreases with age. Total 

 length 29 inches, wing 13-2, tail 12-5, tarsus 3-8. 



In what appears to be the least mature female the white bars on 

 the upper parts and tail are very distinctly wider than in the other 

 specimens. 



Hub. South America, ranging north to Para, south to Paraguay,
