DESCRIBED by Cepede on the authority of some 

 Chinese drawings in the Prince of Orange's col- 

 lection : the deep-red colour of the upper parts 

 and the rose-colour of the lower are abruptly 

 separated : between the eyes is a kind of raised 

 skin, reaching forwards like a hood as far as the tip 

 of the upper jaw.
