prevailing, middle of the belly and flanks more ochreous. 
Primaries, primary coverts and secondaries, chestnut, ver- 
miculated with black on their outer webs, the inner webs 
largely black. Quill lining oily fuscous, lesser under wing 
coverts chestnut, vermiculated with black, greater under wing 
coverts as the quill lining. Thighs chestnut, vermiculated 
with black, the shaft region more ochreous. Tail feathers 
blackish brown. Throat dirty white, the feathers tipped and 
edged with yellowish, ear coverts dark brown, tipped with 
chestnut and with light shaft-stripes. 
The series of five females, all apparently adult, varies con- 
siderably, especially in the under surface. In three specimens 
the yellowish-ochre centres to the feathers are much more 
developed with less black vermiculation and with narrower 
chestnut edges, producing a mucronate, rather than a striped 
effect. In all, the spurs are represented by small tubercles, 
fairly sharp in one specimen. 
Dimensions (3 spm.) Total length, 470-482; wing 
208-228 ; tail, 145-150; tarsus 65-69; bill from gape, 31-37 mm. 
(measured in the flesh). 
The series of ten males is also composed of adult speci- 
mens and is very uniform, the only variation consisting in the 
tint of the shining tips to the wing coverts, which in some 
specimens is more greenish and less purplish blue than in 
others. 
The measurements of seven specimens taken in the flesh 
are as follows:—total length, 458-538; wing 213-227; tail, 
152-170; tarsus, 69-77; bill from gape, 31-36 mm., which 
accord well with those given by Salvadori for the type.
