mandible more or less scarlet. It has been suggested by 
Mr. Ogilvie-Grant, in speaking of the allied black-billed 
species I. melanorhynchus (cf. Ibis, 1905, p. 210), that the 
partly red bill may be a characteristic of the female sex, but 
in the present instance both birds are said to be males. It 
must be added, however, that no reliance can be placed on 
Mr. Buryis determinations.

Bill vermilion or reddish-orange ; legs and feet slate-

The length of the bill varies greatly with age, likewise the 
width of the white wing-bar, the oldest birds having the 
narrowest mirror. The brown ends of the primaries denote 
the adult female and young, the adult males having the 
primaries greenish-black to the tip.
