KNOWN till very lately by the bill alone, which 

 has long since made its appearance in the European 

 museums. In a specimen described by Mr. Latham 

 the length of this bill was eight inches. It is nearly 

 strait, and, as far as the mandibles reach, is of a 

 conical figure ; the top of the upper mandible being 

 continued upwards into a gibbosity of a squarish 

 form, making the bill at this part four inches and a 

 half in depth : this is rounded behind, and almost 

 flat in front; the front being a true or solid bone, 

 an inch in thickness, and of a white colour, while 

 the sides are thin, transparent, and, together with 

 the half of the bill next the base, of a deep red 

 colour; the tip of the bill being white: the nostrils 

 are seated immediately above the orbits of the 

 eyes, and from them commences a wrinkled ridge, 

 passing across the gibbous part to the front : at the 

 back part of the skull are usually attached a few 

 small black feathers.
