with maroon ; the under wing-coverts white, those near the outer edge of the wing maroon-brown. Total 
length 135 inches, culmen T35, wing 6, tail 4‘9, tarsus T6. 
Young male. At first resembling the old female, and gaining the adult plumage only very gradually. 
Specimens in the Museum show that by the time the yellow head and throat are assumed the middle 
tail-feathers commence to elongate and become narrower, the maroon-brown on tlie breast gradually extends 
over the whole of the under surface ; but even when it has overspread the entire breast the long 
flank-plumes are not developed, although the two wire-like centre tail-feathers are seen to their full extent. 
The first of the Plates represents the adult male of this species, and in the second Plate is figured 
an adult female and young male.
