LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY.

Y 
First primary flight-feather considerably shorter than the 
tcnth ; the fifth slightly the longest. 
In the males a high comb extends along the middle of the 
head from the base of the bill to behind the eyes, the margin 
being serrated or entire; the sides of the face, chin, and throat 
are naked, either with two pairs of wattles situated below the 
ears and on each side of the throat, or with a single wattle Gn G. 
varius)* down the middle of the throat; and the tarsi are 
armed with long, sharp, curved spurs. 
In the females the comb is rudimentary, the wattles absent, 
the middle tail-feathers are not elongate, and spurs are not de- 
veloped on the feet.

Adult Male-—Long hackles covering the mantle and rump 
orange-red or yellowish-orange,;{t breast black, slightly glossed 
with green. 
In June the hackles and long tail-feathers are moulted both 
in this and in the following species, and the former are replaced 
* The Javan Jungle-Fowl (Gadus varcus) differs, as noted above, from 
the other species in having s¢x/eez tail-feathers and a szzg/e wattle down 
the middle of the throat, but, in all other respects, it is a typic.l Gal/us and 
cannot be considered generically distinct. 
+ There is considerable variation in the colours of the hackles covering 
the mantle and rump and other parts of the plumage in different specimens, 
but these differences appear to be merely individual, and are not dependent 
on locality.
