  Mr. 
  Hoist 
  has 
  sent 
  an 
  adult 
  male 
  and 
  two 
  adult 
  females 
  

   of 
  this 
  fine 
  species. 
  The 
  irides 
  are 
  described 
  as 
  reddish 
  

   brown 
  and 
  the 
  pupil 
  as 
  blue 
  ; 
  bill 
  pale 
  greyish 
  blue, 
  browuer 
  

   at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  mandible, 
  and 
  slightly 
  so 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  

   of 
  the 
  under 
  mandible. 
  Legs

  The 
  figure 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  (' 
  Ibis,^ 
  1887, 
  pi. 
  vii.) 
  is 
  a 
  fair 
  repre- 
  

   sentation 
  of 
  the 
  adult, 
  except 
  that 
  the 
  light 
  brown 
  on 
  the 
  

   throat 
  ought 
  to 
  extend 
  further 
  down 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  breast 
  

   and 
  the 
  crimson 
  on 
  the 
  underparts 
  is 
  too 
  pronounced 
  on 
  the 
  

   breast, 
  and 
  not 
  brilliant 
  enough 
  on 
  the 
  belly 
  and 
  under 
  tail- 
  

   coverts. 
  In 
  the 
  female 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  crimson 
  on 
  the 
  crown 
  or 
  

   nape. 
  In 
  both 
  sexes 
  the 
  upper 
  parts 
  are 
  much 
  suffused 
  with 
  

   crimson, 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  crimson 
  on 
  the 
  wing-coverts. 
  

  

  As 
  regards 
  its 
  generic 
  characters, 
  this 
  bird 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  

   group 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  nasal 
  aperture 
  is 
  concealed 
  by 
  bristles 
  ; 
  the 
  

   fourth 
  digit 
  the 
  longest 
  ; 
  the 
  tail 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  second 
  

   primary 
  ; 
  the 
  nasal 
  shelf 
  broad 
  ; 
  the 
  nasal 
  aperture 
  low 
  ; 
  the 
  

   chin-angle 
  hidden 
  by 
  bristles, 
  and 
  about 
  halfway 
  between 
  

   the 
  eye 
  and 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  bill. 
  In 
  all 
  these 
  respects 
  it 
  agrees
