"In this species, the adult males have the finely-plumed head, 
neck, breast, abdomen, tail, and wing-tips, pure white ; the remainder 
black, a little tinged with brown upon the back : whereas the females 
have the neck, breast, and abdomen also black. Sir Stamford Eafiles 
described the young male only, with ' back, wings, and tail of a dark 
brown ; the belly of the same colour, mixed with white ; and the 
wing and tail-feathers aU tipped with white at their points. Colour of 
the beak and casque dusky, the former laterally whitish towards its 
base. Throat moderately well feathered. Size rather large, inter- 
mediate to H. coronata and B. rhinoceros, with proportionally long 
and broad cuneated tail." 
" This bird is melancholy in its disposition, but withal voracious in 
its habits. I had one in confinement for some time, feeding it prin- 
cipally on plantains, which it devoured greedily, and never attempted 
to escape from its perch. I destroyed it on account of the filth and 
stench which it generated." — (Captain Begbie.)
