 Lath. ind. orn. 



New Holland Hornbill. Lath, suppl. 



SIZE less than that of a Jay: colour on the upper 

 parts dusky; paler beneath: the shafts of the wings 

 and tail-feathers white beneath : orbits of the eyes 

 naked, wrinkled, and cinereous; bill convex, cari- 

 nated, very gibbous at the base, and covered with 

 a naked skin: nostrils pervious, seated at about a 

 third part of the length of the bill from the base. 

 Described by Mr. Pennant. Native of New Hol- 

 land. The specimen having been mutilated by 

 clipping away the ends of the wings and the tail, 

 it remains doubtful whether the colour of those 

 parts differed from the rest.
