140 WHITE PELICAN. 



In winter there is a frontal protuberance; the face •whitish; iris 

 brown; the conjunction sealing-wax red; the guttural pouch bright 

 yellow; and the legs livid red. 



The female resembles the male, but is smaller, and the beak shorter. 



Young of the year have the head, neck, and upper parts, whitish 

 ash, darker grey on the back, on the scapularies, and wing coverts, 

 with the borders a brighter tint; primaries, beak, and naked parts of 

 the cheeks, and throat, livid; legs, ashy brown; iris brown. — (Degland.) 



My figure is from a specimen in the Zoological Gardens. 



The egg was sent me by Schliiter, of Halle, and is in my own 

 collection.
