 (In the final stage of plumage.) 



This series exhibits admirably the various phases of plumage 

 through which this species passes. In the Jirst stage the whole of 

 the upper surface, wings, and tail are bright chestnut, clearly barred 

 with black ; the head streaked longitudinally with that colour. 

 Beneath, the chin and throat are chestnut streaked with black; the 

 rest of the under surface fulvous, barred with black ; edge of wing 

 white ; moustache white. 



Second stage. — Head and nape nearly black, with here and there 

 a chestnut feather ; upper surface more dusky black ; bars broader 

 and inclining to coalesce ; primaries at tips brownish black. 



Third stage. — Upper surface much as in the last, but darker ; 

 the chin and throat are brownish black. 



Fourth stage. — Upper surface almost entirely greenish black, but 

 the rufous and black barring still visible in some of the tail-feathers ; 

 under surface losing the barring and becoming dusky ; edge of wing 

 and moustache marked with brown. 



Fifth stage. — All trace of the chestnut and black barring has 

 disappeared ; the tail is entirely greenish black ; breast and abdomen 

 dusky brown, washed with fulvous. 



Sixth stage. — The greenish black of the upper surface is changing 

 into bluish black ; abdomen still darker ; white moustache nearly 

 gone. 



Seventh stage. — Entirely blue-black ; no moustache or white edge 

 to wing ; bill longer. 



Iris in hepatic stage red or reddish brown ; bill bluish black ; 

 tarsus slate. In the full plumage the iris is bright red ; bill and 

 feet black. Length 38-2-43-5 centims., wing 18-2-20-0. Native 

 name, in hepatic phase Euku buri, in mature plumage Kouil.
