Figures and descriptions. W. Blasius VII, S; Labillardiere a I, Sharpe 9. 
Adult. Jugulum, breast and a broad collar around the neck pure white; all the 
remaining parts black, strongly glossed with steel-blue and green reflections on 
head all round, upper and under sirrface of the body, upper and under tail-coverts 
and edges of the wing-coverts, the green tints being more pronounced on the rump 
and under- surface; wings and tail dusky black with a slight gloss externally, the 
tail crossed with close, narrow bars, seen only in certain lights, throughout its length; 
bill black, terminal third yellow. “Iris brown; bill black, tip yellow; feet black” — 
Platen {(f, Kalibangkere, 3. IV. 78: Platen — C 11209). 
Sexes. The sexes do not differ in coloration. The stiff broad feathers covering the head 
may perhaps be a little broader and more developed in the male. 
Immature. A specimen, which from the inferior development of the characteristic feathers 
of the head and shorter tail we hold for immature, has also the bill less broadly 
tipped with yellow, viz. about 1 / 4 > instead of Vs to nearly V 2 (Qj Kalibangkere, 
29. HI. 78: Platen — 0 5472).
