272 BIRDS OF THE 



number of tail-feathers, which is said by Sharpe to be 

 thirty-two in the male and twenty-eight in the female, 

 I can say that it is thirty in males and females. The outer- 

 most as well as the innermost tail-feathers are shorter than 

 the neighbouring one, while the seventh or eighth pair are 

 the longest. The longer upper tail-coverts in the adult male 

 are pure white and rather long and nearly halfway covering 

 the tail-feathers. The wings are strongly rounded, and the 

 primaries are surpassing the secondaries by not more than 

 10 — 20 cm, in the male, while in the female they are 

 nearly covered by the secondaries.

 skin of face and wattles blue, bill horny gray, base dirty 

 reddish yellow ; feet in the males horny white, each scale 

 edged with red at the base ; in the female the legs are

 expedition, have been snared by the natives.
