The adult male may at all times be distinguished from the female by the broad band of scarlet on the tail. The females and males during the first year have this part banded with black, as shown in the accompanying Plate. The old male has the entire plumage glossy greenish black, washed with brown on the head and neck, with a broad band of deep vermilion across the middle of all but the two centre tail-feathers, and the external web of the outer feather on each side; irides very dark brown; orbits mealy black in some, in others pinky; bill dark horn-colour; feet mealy black. The females and young males differ in having the head and neck browner than in the adult male, and in having the scarlet band on the tail crossed by narrow bands of greenish black. The figures are nearly the size of life. [Illustration: CALYPTORHYNCHUS FUNEREUS. _J. Gould and H.C. Richter del et lith._ _Hullmandel & Walton Imp._ ] CALYPTORHYNCHUS FUNEREUS.
