Four males and four females from Mount Liang Koeboeng 
and from the Bruny River (Upper Mahakkam). — Iris red, 
bare skin on face and the wattles sky-blue, hind edging 
of the erect ear-wattles in the fully adult male black, con- 
sisting of a very short, brush-like covering of scale-like 
hairs, bill horny brown, lower mandible horny blue, feet 
coral-red. 
This bird is, like the previous species, very shy and living 
very retired in the thickest mountain-forest. Two of the 
above mentioned females were caught in snares by my 
Dyak huntsmen, and the same is said in Mr. von Berch- 
told’s annotations about the specimens obtained on the 
Upper Mahakkam. It is of interest that, while the occi- 
pital feathers in an adult male are steel-blue and rather 
short, they are, in another adult male with still more de- 
veloped spurs and strongly developed testes (probably in 
the breeding-season) lengthened to a kind of crest, and 
reddish brown with black tips. This crested specimen has 
the wattles very strongly developed and, as mentioned 
above, the hind edge of the ear-watitles covered with a 
kind of brush-like hairs. As a rule, I suppose, the wattles 
will show the greatest development in the breeding season, 
the male with strongly developed testes and full plumage, 
obtained in December, has the wattles very long and broad, 
while in others showing signs of moulting and caught in 
October, have the wattles less fully developed. Besides the long 
ear- and baird-wattles, the adult males show a third pair 
of wattles, though very small, halfway between eye and 
nostril. All our fully adult specimens have chin and throat 
thinly covered with short black feathers. In adult males 
the spur is less strongly developed than in the genus Lo- 
phura, and not longer than 12 mm., while in the female the 
spur is only represented by a conspicuous knob. As to the 
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. X-XI.
