H. Schlegel, Notes Roy. Zool. Mus. Leyden. No. 3. 1879. 

 p. 159. 



It is in all its dimensions somewhat smaller than Talegallus 

 Cuvieri. The bill is shorter, more rapidedly bent downwards and 

 of a brownish gray hörn color and not yellow as in Tal. Cuvieri. 

 The legs, feet and elaws are throughout of a brown hörn color 

 and sbow notthe yellow tint of those parts in the common species. 

 The feathers of the neck and the upper part of the throat are 

 much more developed and more numerous. There exists finally a 

 very striking diflference in the coloring of the upper tail coverts 

 and the rump, these parts being in T. Cuvieri of the same tint 

 as the rest of the plumage, whereas these parts in T. pyrrhopigius 

 present a fine chestnut color, lively on the upper tail coverts, faint 

 on the rump. Wing eight inches and ten lines (French measure). 

 Tail five inches and tive lines. Tarse three inches. Bill eleven 

 lines. Hab. Nordwest Neu Guinea.
