[“ THE length of this bird is thirteen inches and 
2 half; its extent twenty-two inches. The bill, 
near an inch long, is dusky, lighter at the base of 
the under mandible, and inclining to pink, the 
tip horn-color; lore crimson; irides the same, 
but round the pupil is a circle of white, and 
the exterior edge of the iris is nearly white. The 
head is greatly enlarged by the feathers; those 
on the top are black, tinged with dark green; 
the cheeks and throat the same; the feathers 
very long, forming a sort of ruff; from the base 
of the upper mandible originates a broad bar of 
dull orange yellow, that passes through the eye 
to the hind-head, growing gradually broader; 
these form a tuft on each side, and are some- 
what erectable, appearing like ears; the fore- 
head dusky ferruginous; the back of the neck 
and upper part of the back dark brown, dashed
