general colour red, becoming deep yellow towards the point ; posterior terminus black, as is also a 

 narrow line running along the culmen. The plumage is the same as that of B. rhinoceros, being 

 bluish black, with white abdomen, thighs, and upper and lower tail-coverts. The tail is also white, 

 with a broad black band crossing it about two thirds from the base. Iris olive. 



Length of bill along gape 8 inches, of casque 5^, height of casque 2. Total length 3 feet, 

 wing 17J inches, tail 15J, tarsus 2. 



The female resembles the male, except that there is no black upon the bill or casque, the 

 posterior terminus of the latter being red. 



My description and figure were taken from specimens in the British-Museum collection.
