; wing 21 in. The sexes are alike in plumage.
In the young bird the upper feathers are dull metallic-brown, margined with dirty-white; and the bill and legs are olive-green, afterwards turning to orange-red.
The Storks, Ibises, and Spoonbills have no powder-down tracts.

391 THE GLOSSY IBIS.
Pl^gadis falcin^llus (Linnaeus).
The Glossy Ibis is now only of accidental occurrence in the British Islands, but towards the end of the last century its visits appear to have been more frequent, and... near Lynn in Norfolk it was known to gunners and fi.shermen as the 'Black Curlew.' In the eastern and midland counties and on the estuaries of the south coast it has been observed more often than in the west, though it has occurred in Pembrokeshire and Lancashire ; it is even popularly — and erroneously — supposed to be the bird called the Liver, figured in the arms of Liverpool. Northward it is decidedly rare, and only six examples seem to have been obtained in Scotland : one of them near Kirkwall, Orkney, and one at Unst in the Shetlands.
