The large size of the beak at once distinguishes the male bird, in 

 which also the blue of the nape is more pronounced. In none of 

 the individuals is there any blue on the forehead, cheeks, or uropy- 

 gium. Iris yellowish red in male, " pearly " in female ; bill 

 scarlet ; tarsus olive. Length 34'0-35*3 centims. ; wing 19*0 ( 5 )- 



20-7 (d). 



These skins agree with those from the Philippines in the British 

 Museum collection.

First described by Mr. Sharpe from specimens brought from Sulu 

 Island by Mr. Burbidge. The series under consideration bears out 

 the validity of the species, the adult birds having the head a bright 

 yellowish green, the wing-coverts without blue, and a back a dark 

 green, thus differing from T. erere/^i of Mindanao. In the imma- 

 ture male the head is somewhat darker, but, as far as regards plu- 

 mage there is otherwise no difference from the mature bird. The 

 sexes appear alike. Length 40"0-41'5 centims.; wing 21'8-22'7. 

 Iris red ; bill vermilion, dirty white in the young bird ; tarsus dull 

 olive-brown. 



In common with the preceding species, this Tanygnathus is toler- 

 ably abundant all over the island of Sulu.
