ThiSj which is one of the largest of the genus, 

 measures about seventeen inches in total length, 

 of which the bill alone measures about eight 

 inches; it is of a pale rufous yellow colour, the 

 base of both mandibles being black, and the tip 

 of the upper mandible, to a considerable distance 

 down the bill, of the same colour : the bird itself 

 is also black, with a white throat, bounded beneath 

 by a red bar across the breast : the rump is white, 

 the vent-feathers red, and the legs black. It is a 

 native of Cayenne, and seems to have been first 

 described by Buffon.
