crest are orange, not washed with crimson. In the male: ‘Iris red; upper 
mandible black, lower greenish yellow; feet blackish gray.’ In the 
female: ‘Iris ruby-red ; upper dible black, lower greenish yellow ; feet 
grayish olive.’ Length, about 241; culmen, 38; wing, 132; tail, 74; 
tarsus, 28. 
“In C. lucidus the greater part of the wing-coverts and the outer mar- 
gins of the secondaries are crimson, giving the whole wing a crimson ap- 
pearance, whereas in the present form, though some of the males have 
narrow crimson-orange edges to the wing-coverts, the general color of the 
wings is distinctly orange. 
“This form may be regarded as a partially alpine representative of 
C. lucidus, of which it is no doubt a subspecies ; it also occurs on the coast, 
for two fully adult male specimens were procured at Piso.” (Grant.)
