RECENTLY-DESCRIBED SPECIES. 493 



the smaller coverts, just at the junction of the wing with the 

 body, dark-brown ; the tail white, but freckled and 

 mottled at the tips of the feathers with blackish dusky ; the 

 whole foreneck, breast, and abdomen intermingled with buff- 

 colored feathers ; on the occiput indications of a very short 

 deuse crest, from which a short hog" mane runs, decreasing in 

 size, about 3 inches down the back of the neck. 



The facial space appears to be shaped as in onocrotalus, *huk, 

 as already mentioned, the frontal feathers come to a sharper 

 point and advance further forward than in any onocrotalus 

 that I have examined. 



I have no record of the colors of the soft parts, but those of 

 the upper mandible have clearly not been the same as those in 

 onocrotalus, some traces of which may always be detected even 

 in the dry skins. As far as I can judge the legs and feet have been 

 reddish fleshy or orange ; they have clearly not been lead color.

I have already, loo cit, reproduced Major Godwin-Austen's 

 description of his bird from the Khasia Hills. I have no doubt 

 now that the Khasia Hill and Yunan birds are identical. I will 

 first reproduce Dr. Anderson's original description : —
