 Platen (cf, Kahbangkere, 3. IV. 78: Platen — C 11209). 



Sexes. The sexes do not differ in coloration. The stiff broad feathers covering the head 

 may perhaps be a little broader and more developed in the male. 



Immature. A specimen, which from the inferior development of the characteristic feathers 

 of the head and shorter tail we hold for immatui-e, has also the bUl less broadly 

 tipped with yellow, viz. about V4, instead of V:f ^o nearly '/j (Q, Kahbangkere, 

 29. m. 78: Platen — C 5472).
