[It is obferved in the Afatic Refearches, by Lieutenant Charles White 
that the name of this bird is Dhanéfa, that it feeds on the Naw 
Vomica, and the fat of it is highly efteemed by the natives. 
EITHER the fize of this bird is known, any more than the 
place it inhabits: the head feems full of feathers, and a trifle 
crefted: the upper part of it even with the eyes, and between them 
and the bill black; the reft of the plumage a fine crimfon: acrofs the 
back and fhoulders a band of white: the bill is longer from the gape, 
than from thence to the back of the head; the colour of it black or 
dufky, except at the bafe, where it is furrounded with white, and 
juft at this divifion the noftrils are placed; the bill is ftout, running, 
to a point at the tip, and a trifle curved for one-third of its length: 
the legs are the colour of the bill: the tail is cuneiform, and pretty, 
long, as the quills reach juft beyond the bafe of it.
