264 LOTSY AND KUIPER, A PRELIM. STATEMENT OF THE RESULTS OF MR. 
saddle these shouldercoverts gradually pass into the saddlefeathers. 
The lower shoulderdeck emerges below this upper shoulderdeck ; 
it consists of pure black feathers with a violet gloss. The seconda- 
ries are black also but have a more greenish gloss and a brown bor- 
der on the outer vane. The primaries are black, very asymmetrical, 
on account of the narrowness of the outer vane, which at its exte- 
rior border is almost creamy white. 
Tailcoverts, purple black, the lower ones with a brown border. 
Tailfeathers, black with a greenish-purple gloss, here especially the 
purple is very apparent, in a certain light a faint crossbarring can 
be seen. 
Legs. Whitish pink with a slatey tint; spurs heavy, slate colored. 
This magnificent animal is certainly identical with Gallus Temmin- 
ckii Grey and we shall in future designate it by that name, in order to 
facilitate, the comparison of the results obtained with it, with the cross 
in which Gallus aeneus, a hybrid of some domestic strain of poultry 
with Gallus varius, took part.
