male, and is uot allowed to leave the eggs. According to the report 
of the natives, the male exhibits an uncommon degree of watchful- 
ness and jealousy, and it is called, by distinction, * Burong Chimhti- 
ruan, or the Jealous Bird.' If, during his absence, any traces appear 
of the nest having been approached by another male, the aperture is 
completely closed with mud, and the imprisoned female is left to 
perish. This fact, which was first communicated to me in Blam- 
bangan, was subsequently confirmed by intelligent natives in other 
parts of Java."— (Horsfield's MS., 1806.) 
Dr. Cantor states, that " the male has the bill [yellowish] white ; 
iris pale crimson ; gular pouch rich gamboge-yellow, with two trans- 
verse black bars ; feet blackish ; and the female has the iris narrow, 
golden round the pupil, the rest golden Vandyke ; eyelids brick- 
colour; pouch dirty azure, with two transverse black bars; feet 
blackish-grey. The young male has the iris mother-o'pearl colour ; 
bill yellow at the point, and bluish-green at the base ; space round 
the eyes, and pouch, yellow, with the transverse black bars indistinct ; 
feet bluish-black."

" Entirely resembles B. plicatus in its plumage, having the sides 
of the head and neck (in tJie male) more or less deeply tinged with 
golden safiron ; but the size is much inferior, though the wings and 
tail being proportionally longer, the difierence in actual admeasure- 
ments is not great, though that of the weight would be considerable ; 
the casque is also much more elevate and highly convex, instead of 
being flattened above ; there are also no lateral transverse ridges at 
the basal part of the mandibles, which is a further distinction from 
jB. plicatus.^^ 
" The naked skin of the throat and around the eyes is of a beauti-
