orange-yellow which occupies the whole basal portion, while the 
narrow rim at the front, the lores, and the naked skin round the eye 
are red, in life (according to Rahmer) “ carmine.” . There is besides 
a red spot terminating the yellow at the front of the upper mandible. 
In P. andinus the black terminal portion is much more extended ; 
this is succeeded by a pale or “ whitish yellow” base ; and the part 
between the nostrils is “ brick-red.”” The lower part of the gonys 
next to the feathering and the narrow naked lores are in the skin of 
a flesh-colour, in life ‘* violet.”’ 
In P. jamesi the legs are red, in life ‘‘ carmine ;” in P. andinus 
** whitish yellow.” 
In P. jamesi, as will be seen in the figure (Plate XXXVI.), the 
external secondaries are elongated into filiform plumes, which extend, 
when the wing is closed, as much as two inches beyond the 
primaries, and scapularies are similarly lengthened. Both these 
sets of plumes are of abright rosy red. This is also apparent in the 
two younger specimens of P. jamesi, but nothing of the sort appears 
to take place in P. andinus.
