Figures and. descriptions. Pennant a /; Milne-Edwards & Grandid. XXZZZ (skel.) ; 
Legge 24: W. A. Eorbes 27 (stomach); Oates 30] Vorderman 31] etc. 
Adult. Head and neck ta\niy -olive -hrown, streaked -with black, most intensely on head 
above and hind neck; a fine -wliite line from forehead to behind eye; a white stripe 
from suborbital region to nearly half-way down side of neck; chin and upper throat 
white, with brown centres to most of tlie feathers; scapulars, wings and tail black, 
spotted with silver-white on the shoulders, extending into broad mesial stripes on the 
scapulars; wing-coverts silver-white, edged with black; back, rump, upper tail- 
coverts, jugulum and under parts glossy black more or less tinged with gi'eenish 
or brownish (Manado: v. Musschenbroek — C 5277). 
“Iris pearly white, with an inner and outer ring of yellow; bill with the upper 
mandible brownish olive, paling into horny grey at the tip; under mandible yellow, 
changing into greyish green at the base; legs and toes bluish; inside of tarsus and 
webs yellowish; toes dusky at the tips” (Legge 24). 
Female. Resembles the male, but “the neck is more fulvous; the black on the chest is bor- 
dered by a yellowish band which extends up the neck, and the streaks on the upper 
plumage are yello%viah” (Oates 30). 
Nestling. Covered with white down. 
First plumage. The assumption of the earliest dress is well described by Legge (24)] in 
the first plumage the black feathers of the under-parts have pale tips, the white stripe 
on the face and neck is only indicated, the scapulars, though lanceolate, are short 
and have fulvous mai-guis. 
Observation. One of our specimens from Celebes — apparently a female — has the abdomen 
dull umber -brown, perhaps a result of attrition of the black ends of the feathers 
(Manado, March, 1871: Meyer — C 2008). 
Measurements, Wing 345 mm; tail 260; tarsus 40; middle toe and claw 72; exposed cuhnen 
79 (ad.: Manado — C 5276). 
Eggs. 3—5. “The eggs resemble those of the known species, are white, with a 
chalky coating, seen against the fight grey. They measure 56 — 57 X 35 — 36 mm” 
(Nehrkorn MS.). See also Whitehead 43, Hume 51. 
Nest. Of small sticks, a firm structure, fined -with leaves. The bird breeds in colonies, in 
low trees round the water (Whitehead 43). 
Distribution. India (Jerdon, Hume, etc. a I, 10, 14, 15, 24, 37)] Ceylon (Legge, etc.,
