HORN-BILL. 317 



dirty yellow* skin, and on the upper eylid are ten or more stiff 

 bristles ; the plumage is mostly black, and the feathers at the hind 

 head elongated; but the under parts from the breast, the belly, thighs 

 and vent, are white ; the first quill is black, pointed, and shorter than 

 the rest, the others black, with the ends for one inch and half white, 

 but the three or four next the body wholly black ; the tail consists of 

 ten feathers, and is rounded at the end ; the two middle ones black, 

 the others the same, with the ends for one inch and a half white ; legs 

 little more than four inches long, the inner toe shortest, the outer 

 connected to the middle as far as the first joiut ; the wings reach 

 beyond the base of the tail. The above description taken from a 

 perfect specimen in the collection of Gen. Davies, which came from 

 the East Indies. — Levaillant's bird was brought from Chandernagore, 

 and by him esteemed a new species, not hitherto noticed. I have 

 no doubt of its being the same as my bird, though it may differ in 

 some particulars, It was only twenty-four inches long from the tip 

 of the bill to that of the tail ; the colour of the bill is compared to 

 ivory. It seems to differ from the Unicorn Horn-bill, in not having 

 the white chin; and in the tail of the latter, the whole of the feathers 

 are white, except the two middle, which are black, otherwise it might 

 be taken for a specimen of that bird, with the bill in its second stage 

 of increase. Is found in Java, by the name of Klinglingang. 



A. — Bill three inches long ; on the top of the upper mandible a 

 gibbous appendage three quarters of an inch deep, and two and a half 

 long, on the fore part dusky, behind white ; the fore part also of the 

 upper mandible, the base, and edges are yellowish white ; the under 

 mandible white, three-fourths of the length, with an oblique streak of 

 black, the base rufous red ; round the eye a bare, white, wrinkled 

 space, pointed behind ; beneath this a small one of white, in the 

 direction of and behind the lower jaw; the plumage is mostly black ; 



* In a drawing of Gen. Hardwicke's, the colour was pale blue.
