to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover.

The  numbers  of  the  species  of  Birds  treated  of  in  this  Volume,  and 
of  the  specimens  at  present  in  the  CoUection,  are  as  follows : — 

Species.    Types.    Spedznens.

Ratitffi 26  7  134 

In  none  of  the  preceding  volumes  has  the  number  of  desiderata 
been  so  small  as  in  the  present ;  only  eight  species  of  the  Anseres, 
seven  of  the  Tinamous,  and  four  of  the  Eatitse  being  entirely 
unrepresented  by  specimens  in  the  Museum*  Beside  the  67  types 
of  recognized  species,  the  Collection  contains  25  other  typical 
specimens  which  are  now  regarded  as  referable  to  species  pre- 
viously named  and  described. 

The  unrivalled  collection  of  Tinamous  formed  by  Messrs.  Godman 
and  Salvin,  and  supplemented  by  the  loan  of  numerous  specimens 
from  Continental  Museums,  has  enabled  the  author  to  discriminate 
considerably  more  species  than  his  predecessors  were  inclined  to 
admit. 

The  Hon.  Walter  Eothschild,  whose  collection  of  Apteryx  far 
surpasses  that  in  the  British  Museum,  has  given  most  valuable 
assistance  in  the  preparation  of  this  Catalogue  by  lending  these  as 
well  as  other  specimens  to  the  author. 

The  present  volume  concludes  the  series  of  the  '  Catalogue  of 
Birds.'     Thanks  to   the  energy  with  which  Count  Salvadori  has 


applied  himaolf  to  the  work,  its  publicatioo  precedes  that  of 
Yolames  24,  25,  and  26.  However,  it  will  bo  followed  imme- 
diately by  701111116  25,  which  containa  the  GulU  and  Petreb,  while 
it  IB  a  matter  of  regret  that  no  Buoh  proxpect  can  be  held  out  aa 
regards  the  other  two  Tolnmos.  In  a  final  volume  it  is  intended 
to  give  a  EUpplcmcntary  list  of  the  species  described  eince  the 
publication  of  the  several  volumes,  and  an  Index  to  the  whole 
work.

INTRODUCTION. 


The  present  volume  contains  the  account  of  the  Chenomorphss 
(Palamedefls,  Phoenicopteri,  and  Anseres),  Crypturi,  and  Batitse. 

As  to  the  Chenomorphce,  the  PalamedeoB  and  the  PJuxniccpieri 
contain  only  a  few  species,  the  great  bulk  consisting  of  the 
Afueres.  The  literature  relating  to  these  is  very  scattered,  and 
few  works  are  specially  devoted  to  thorn.  The  first  attempt  at  a 
complete  account  was  Eyton's  '  Monograph  of  the  AnatidsB,  or  Duck 
Tribe/  published  in  1838. 

Between  1845  and  I80O  Dr.  Reichenbach,  in  the  ^  Synopsis 
Avium,'  gave  rather  indifferent  figures,  mostly  copies,  of  the  '  Nata- 
tores '  known  in  his  time. 

Prince  Bonaparte,  in  1856,  published  the  "  Conspectus  Anserum 
Systematicus "  (Compt.  Bend,  xliii.  pp.  648-652),  with  a  nominal 
list  of  1 72  Bpecies  known  to  him. 

Schlegcl,  in  1866,  published  in  the  '  Museum  des  Pays-Bas '  an 
account  of  the  ^Anseres'  contained  in  the  Lcyden  Museum  (pp.  122); 
they  numbered  1199  specimens,  belonging  to  140  species. 

In  1869  Eyton  published  for  private  circulation  a  ^  Synopsis  of 
the  Anatidte,'  by  which  our  knowledge  was  not  advanced. 

G.  B.  Gray,  in  1871,  in  the  'Hand-list,'  gave  a  nominal  list  of 
all  the  species  then  known,  about  183,  of  which  some  cannot  be 
maintained. 

Although  not  of  a  general  character,  the  **Bevision  of  the 
Neotropical  Anatidae  "  (P.  Z.  S.  1876,  pp.  358-412),  published  by 
Sdater  and  Salvin,  may  be  considered  the  best  essay  hitherto 
written  on  this  suborder.  A  very  important  contribution  also  is 
ScJater^s  **  List  of  the  certainly  known  Species  of  Anatidse " 
(P.  Z.  S.  1880,  pp.  496-536) ;  the  species  included  in  this  paper 
amount  to  176. 

The  number  of  species  recognized  in  the  present  Catalogue  is  196, 


VUl  IVTBODUOTION. 

besides  a  few  of  a  more  doabtfnl  character ;  three  are  now  described 
for  the  first  time. 

In  the  ClasBification  of  the  Anseres,  I  have  oloaely  followed 
that  propOBed  by  Sclater  and  Salvin  in  1876  (I.  c),  and  by  Solater 
in  1880,  the  only  new  feature  in  my  arrangement  being  the  inititu- 
tion  of  a  new  subfamily,  Chenonettince,  the  membere  of  which  have 
the  external  appearance  of  Geese,  hat  the  males  have  a  larynx 
famished  with  a  bnlla  ossea,  as  in  Anatirux, 

Not  much  has  hitherto  been  done  in  the  systematic  and  doBcrip- 
tive  treatment  of  the  order  Cryptvri. 

Wagler  published  in  1827,  with  excellent  lalin  descriptions, 
Uouographs  of  the  genera  Crypturvt,  Notknra,  and  Shynehotu$, 
containing  all  the  species  then  known. 

Gray,  in  1867,  in  the  '  List  of  the  Gallins  in  the  British  Uusenm,' 
gave  an  aoconnt,  with  deacriptioDs  of  many  new  species,  of  the 
whole  group,  numbering  about  55  species.  A  nominal  list  of  the 
same  appears  in  the  '  Hand-list '  (1871). 

Finally  Schlegel,  in  the  ■  Museum  des  Pays-Bas,'  published  in  1880 
a  Monograph  of  the  '  Tinami,'  pp.  1-57 ;  the  species  mentioned  by 
him  number  33,  represented  by  134  specimens. 

The  species  recognized  in  the  present  volume  amount  to  65,  of 
which  14  are  described  as  new. 

In  working  out  the  Tinamous  I  have  received  much  Bf&istance 


INTRODUOIIOK.  IX 

Monograph  of  the  ^  Aves  Stmthiones/  represented  in  that  museum 
by  37  specimens,  belonging  to  14  species.  In  1877  J.  de  Mosenthal 
and  J.  E.  Harting  published  a  rolume  on  '  Ostriches  and  Ostrich 
Farming,*  which  contains  a  useful  rSsume  of  our  knowledge  of 
Struthioas  Birds« 

In  working  out  these  three  groups  of  birds  I  have  found  that  of 
the  Anseres  most  laborious,  on  account  of  the  exceedingly  great 
number  of  references  and  of  the  many  phases  of  plumage  through 
which  these  birds  pass,  and  which  are  not  always  easy  to  understand. 
The  study  of  the  Tinamous  is  very  difficult,  especially  as  the  limits 
of  variation  seem  wide  and  the  species  often  ill-defined ;  a  very 
extensive  series  of  specimens  is  necessary  in  order  to  arrive  at  any 
definite  conclusion.  Fortunately  I  have  been  helped  by  many 
friends,  either  with  suggestions  or  with  the  loan  of  rare  and  typical 
specimens;  and  I  desire  to  express  my  thanks  particularly  to 
Mr.  Salvin,  Mr.  Sclater,  Mr.  Seebohm,  the  Hon.  W.  Rothschild, 
Mr.  Hartert,  Prof.  A.  Newton,  Dr.  Oustalet,  Dr.  Dubois, 
Dr.  Reichenow,  Graf  von  Berlepsch,  Canon  Tristram,  Dr.  Forbes, 
Mr.  Ridgway,  Mr.  Allen,  Dr.  Hartlaub,  Prof.  Barboza  du  Bocage, 
Dr.  Schauinsland,  Dr.  Stolzmann,  and  Prof.  P.  Godot.

Suborder  I.  PALAMEDE*. 

Boside  the  absence  of  uncinoto  proceBSps  to  the  ribs,  a  unique 
character  among  birda,  the  .Screamers  are  distinguished  from  the 
other  ChenomorphK  by  the  mediun  basiptery^oid  processes,  the 
absence  of  a  ventral  and  nlraoat  of  any  other  bare  traet,  the  tarsus 
being  less  than  one  and  a  half  times  thn  length  of  the  femur, 
reticulated  in  front  and  behiud,  the  anterior  toes  being  connected  bv 
rudimentary  webs,  and  by  non-laminated  margins  of  the  bill. 

In  external  appearance  the  Screamers  present  the  following 
features; — Head  amall,  neck  covered  with  small  soft  feathers. 
Bill  of  a  gallinaceous  shape,  much  shorter  than  the  head,  with  the 
haac  rather  thick,  and  covered  with  soft  shin ;  nostrils  oblong, 
broad,  situated  rather  lower  down  ;  dortrum  short,  convex,  with 
the  tip  obtuse,  bent  down. 

Wiiigs  large,  rounded,  broad,  with  the  secondaries  very  large  ■  ; 
carpal  portion  with  two  spurs,  the  anterior  one  much  the  largest. 

Tail  of  14  or  12  feathers,  broad,  nearly  half  the  length  of  the 
wing. 

Feet  thick,  moderately  hiph  ;  tibioi  naked  inferiorly  ;  toes  very 
long,  the  median  one  subcqnal  t«  the  tarsns,  united  at  the  base  by 
a  short  membrane  ;  feet  covered  with  small  hexagonal  scaler,  dis- 
posed transversely  on  the  toes ;  nails  rather  strong,  the  posterior 
ono  the  largest :  hallux  long  and  strong. 

The  Screamers  are  confined  to  the  Neotropical  Region, 


One  family  only.

coverts  black ;  axillaries  bright  red :  bill  yellowish  with  the

wings ;  the  greater  coverts  broadly  tipped  with  brown-black. 

Downy  young.  "  Greyish  white,  becoming  nearly  pure  white  on

Bah.  Tropical  and  subtropical  sea-coasts,  from  Florida  Keys  and

The  t}'pe  of  Ph.  erythrcnus  no  doubt  belongs  to  this  species ;  it 
has  evident  signs  of  having  been  kept  in  captivity,  and  one  of  the 
tarsi  was  amputated  while  the  bird  was  alive.  The  locality  Gaboon,

Crommelin,  Ibit,  1660, 


AduU.  Eotire  plumage  pore  white ;  lores,  frontal  tubercle,  base 
of  the  upper  mandible,  nOBtrils,  nail,  edges  of  the  upper  mandible, 
and  entire  under  mandible  blaok,  remainder  of  the  beak  reddish 
orsnge ;  legs  and  feet  dull  black ;  irides  hazel.  Total  length 
4  feet  8  inches  to  5  feet,  wing  27  inches,  tail  10,  culmen  4-2, 
tareus  4-5. 

Female.  Similar  to  the  male,  but  Boroewhat  smaller,  the  neck 
more  alender ;  the  tubercle  at  the  base  of  the  beak  amaller, 

Tounff.  Plumage  almost  a  sootj'  grey  ;  neck  and  under  surface  of 
the  body  lighter  in  colour ;  beak  lead-colour  ;  nostrils  and  the  basal 
maigmal  line  black. 

CifgTUti.  Covered  with  soft  brownish  or  dull  aahy-grey  down, 
whidi  on  the  lower  throat  and  breast  becomes  much  paler,  almost 
white  ;  bill  and  lega  lead-grey. 

In  this  bird  the  keel  of  the  sternum  is  simple,  unprovided  with 
any  cavity. 

I  quite  agree  with  Mr.  Seebohm  and  others,  who  believe  that  the 
so-called  Polish  Swan  can  only  be  regarded  as  a  quasi-albino  pro- 
duced by  domeetication.  None  of  the  characters  attributed  to 
C.  immuiabilis  are  constant. 

Sab.  Denmark  and  South  Sweden,  South  Bussia,  Valley  of  the 
Danube,  Transylvania  and  Greece,  and  passing  the  northern  shores 
of  the  Caspian,  to  Turkestan  and  Mongolia;  winters  in  the 
BOntiiem  portions  of  the  Caspian,  ocoaeionaUy  in  the  extreme  north- 
west of  India,  and  in  tbe  basin  of  the  Mediterranean.

glossy  on  the  edges  of  the  feathers  of  the  back  and  romp,  and  of 
the  upper  tail-coverts.  Total  length  about  26  inches,  wing  12, 
tail  6,  culmen  2*4,  tarsus  2*1. 

It  seems  that  in  the  £a8t  this  bird  is  often  kept  in  confinement, 
and  then  becomes  partially  albino,  especially  on  the  neck,  breast, 
and  abdomen ;  two  of  the  specimens  mentioned  below  are  of  this 
deeoription. 

The  systematic  position  of  this  bird  has  always  been  a  great 
puzzle ;  but  I  have  no  doubt  that  its  nearest  allies  arc  the  species 
of  the  genus  Sarcidiomis^  although  it  is  devoid  of  a  comb  ;  and  on 
thid  account  I  think  that  it  ought  to  stand  as  the  type  of  a  dis- 
tinct genus  ;  Mr.  Hume  has  also  expressed  the  same  opinion.

that  they  would  come  nnder  0.  ki/perhoreiis,  but  as  they  have  the

Advlt  mdU.  He&d,  neck,  and  breast  sooty-blaok,  ahatply  defined 
from  the  brown-grey  ooloor  of  the  upper  and  onder  puts ;  two 
white  patches,  with  some  admixtnre  of  black,  on  the  sidea  of  the 
neck ;  romp  brown-black ;  upper  tail-coverts,  vent,  and  under  tail- 
corerta  white;  the  featheia  of  the  npper  and  under  parts  with 
somewhat  light«r  edgings,  quite  distinct  and  whitish  on  the  flanks ; 
quills  and  tail-feathers  browni^  black ;  under  wing-ooverts  brown- 
grey  :  bill  black ;  iiides  dark  brown ;  tarsus,  toes,  and  webs  black, 
with  an  olire-green  tinge  upon  the  tarsal  joint  and  the  upper 
surface  of  the  toes.  Total  lengUi  about  21  in<die8,  wing  13,  tail  S'6, 
onlmen  1-5,  taraus  2*1. 

FeniaU.  Similar  Xo  the  male,  but  a  little  smaller. 
Toang.  Paler  than  the  adults ;  no  white  patches  on  the  aides  of 
the  neck ;  the  dark  colour  of  the  upper  breast  scarcely  darker  than 
the  underparta ;  no  white  edgings  to  the  feathers  of  the  flanks ; 
wing-coverts  with  oonspicaoos  pale  edges,  almost  white  on  the 
median  and  greater  ones ;  seoondaries  with  white  tips. 

In  this  species  there  seem  to  be  two  forms — a  dark-bellied  one 
{B.  hemida),  which,  according  to  Mr.  Seebohm,  breeds  in  tbe 
Taimyr  peninsula,  Noraia  Zemlia,  Franz-Josef  Land,  and  8ints- 
beigen ;  and  a  light-bellied  one  (B.  glaueogatter),  which  lives  in 
Arctic  America,  from  the  west  coast  of  Greenland  as  far  west  as 
the  Parry  Islands.  I  would  have  kept  the  two  forms  separate  if 
it  were  not  liat  a  specimen  from  Noraia  Zemlia,  mentioned  below, 
belongs  to  the  light-bellied  form,  aad,  moreover,  this  bird  haa  the

Rimilnr  to  C.  mageUanica,  bnt  tbe  male  has  the  breast  and

The  ftmaU  has  the  head  and  up{ier  pBrt^  of  the  neck  of  a  dull 
gicy,  almost  without  any  of  the  reddish  tinge  so  conepioaotiB  in  the

tail^eatbcre  aahy  black.     I  suppose  that  Uie  descriptioD  applies

ing, received  from  Heosrs.  Fhilippi  and  Loodbeck,  has  the  upper

Foung  ntaU.  The  black  tmnds  are  more  nnmerouB,  boQi  on  the 
back  and  lower  parts,  bnt  not  so  well-defined  as  in  the  adult  bird ; 
the  speculum  is  blacldah,  with  no  green  lustre  (ifiw.  Taurin.).

Besides  the  four  specimens  mentioned  below,  I  have  seen  three 
ctlien  received  for  inspection  from  Prof.  Newtoo,  and  many  more, 
over  twenty,  in  the  Hon.  W,  Rothschild's  collection.  As  observed 
by  Dr.  SleJD^r,  the  specimeas  inspected  show  a  number  of  oitra- 
ordinary  variations,  truly  perplexing,  and  I  mast  confess  that  I  do 
not  quite  understand  this  species.  The  most  adult  male  bird 
examined  in  Mr.  Rothschild'it  coUection  has  the  central  tail-feathere 
curled  up,  so  that  this  specioa  appears  to  come  near  to  A.  boseat. 
Bxamining  the  series  as  I  have  done,  it  seems  to  me  that  perhaps 
not  one  of  the  specimens  inspected  is  in  full  dress,  and,  secondly, 
that  many  of  the  birds  have  some  taint  of  A.  I^srai,  which, 
aooording  to  Judge  Dole,  is  luiturnlizal  in  all  Ok  IslajuU.  Both 
these  points  cannot  be  solved  at  present,  but  we  must  wait  for 
further  information  obtained  in  the  Sandwich  Islands. 

Before  proceedins  to  mention  the  principal  features  distinguishing 
A.  vt/rntliana,  I  wifih  to  point  out  that  the  Ggare  of  the  tj-pe  of 
Ana*  wyvUUana  (Voy,  of  the  'Challenger')  is  not  very  exact  in  the 
following  paniculars: — 1st,  the  speculum  is  much  too  green; 
Snd.  the  fathers  of  the  breast  have  small  roundish  dark  spots, 
while  in  the  ii/pe  iliere  are  U-shaped  black  submarginal  bands ; 
3rd,  the  general  colouring  is  not  olive-brown,  but  much  more 
rvfescent. 

When  I  was  in  Paris  I  examined  in  tho  Moseum  the  presumed 
type  of  A.  Imtchat  a.  freyeinUi ;  it  is  a  male  in  moult,  putting  on 
the  green  feathers  of  the  head.  This  bird,  which  is  labelled  as 
from  "  Lea  tales  Malouinea,"  was  inadvertently  stated  by  Gray 
to  he  from  tho  Sandwich  Islands.  According  to  the  information 
given  to  me  by  M.  (Joatalet  it  is  not  at  all  improbable  that  the 
^>e  of  A.  boieJiat  a.  frf'jntMi  came  from  the  Marianne  Islands, 
and  if  ao,  it  would  be  the  same  as  my  A.  otutaltti. 

Besides  the  centnl  tail-feathers  being  curled  up  in  one  specimen, 
snd  very  little  ao  in  another,  the  most  adult  mate  specimens  of 


the  "  Duck  from  the  Saodvicti  Islands  "  ezamlued  by  me  ahov  the 
following  charactera; — 

1.  The  mmp  and  upper  tail-coverts  are  black ;  abo  the  mtder 
tail-coverts  are  more  or  less  black,  but  mixed  with  chestirot  in 
Bomo  gpeciniena. 

2.  The  abdomen  has  a  greyish  tinge  and  traces  of  dusky  narniir 
oroBs  bars. 

3.  The  head  on  the  upper  part  is  blackish,  glossed  with  greeiir 
while  the  sides  and  throat  have  dark  streaks  aa  in  A.  obseara ;  in 
one  specimen  the  throat  is  blackish. 

4.  The  crop-region  and  breast  are  reddish  chestnut,  with  black 
markings  mote  or  less  of  a  crescent  shape,  especially  on  the  sides. 

5.  The  leathers  of  the  mantle  and  interscapular  region  hav» 
black  and  mfous-chestnut  undulated  bands,  and  many  feathers, 
especially  on  the  side,  are  finely  waved  with  grey. 

6.  The  speculum  is  glossy  green,  with  a  bluish  lustre  in  soma 
specimens,  and  is  bounded  anteriorly  by  two  bands  on  the  last  tow 
of  the  upper  wirg-coverts — one,  snbapical,  whitish  grey,  and  the 
other,  apical,  black  ;  posteriorly  the  speculum  is  bounded  also  by  two 
bands — a  subapical  one,  black,  and  a  brosd  apical  one,  white.  In 
some  specimens  the  anterior  whitish  band  is  almost  obsolete. 

7.  The  tertials  are  brown-grey,  the  outer  ones  have  the  outer 
■web  velvety  black. 

8.  The  upper  wing-coverts  are  dark  grey,  with  nanow  rofeecent 
edges. 

9.  The  under  wing-coverts  are  white,  but  in  some  specimens  the 
marginal  ones  .are  dusky. 

10.  The  siEc  is'smidler  than  in  A.  botcaa-  total  length  ahoub 
18  inches,  wing  9'25,  culmen  1'85, 

11.  Colour  of  the  soft  parts:  bill  black  above,  flesh-coloured 
below ;  feet  orange. 

T7te  fetnale  resembles  that  of  A.  hoacai,  but  is  smaller,  darker, 
and  has  the  speculum  green,  the  npper  wing-coverts  more  or  leas 
with  rufescent  edges  :  the  bill  dusky,  with  a  yellow  bond  near  the 
tip. 

TTie  yoiiiip  bird  resembles  the  adult  female,  but  has  dark  streaks 
also  on  the  throat;  the  markings  on  the  underparts  are  more  like 
longitudinal  streaks. 

Tounp  in  down  are  very  aimilar  to  the  same  stage  of  A.  hMeai, 
but  perhaps  the  brown  colour  of  the  upper  parte  is  more  olive.

The  last  specimen  in  the  list  below  differs  very  conspioaouflly 
from  the  olher  tiro :  the  specuJum  is  black  with  a  greenish  gloss, 
only  one  of  the  feathers  shows  a  distinct  bluish-green  colour  on 
the  enter  web ;  the  upper  part  of  the  head  ia  very  dark  brovm  ; 
there  is  a  very  distinct  black  band  from  the  lores  through  the  eyes ; 
the  checks  are  entirely  Covered  with  blackish  Btreaka  ;  throat  bnffieb, 
nnspotted.  I  am  not  sure  that  it  beloDga  to  the  present  species. 
It  has  the  appearance  of  being  not  fully  adnlt;  but  in  the  collector's 
not«  it  is  iiud  ihat  it  was  sitting  on  13  e^s !

In  my  opinion  A.  maculma  is  scarcely  ditTerent  from  A.  fulviffida, 
but,  according  to  Mr.  Sennett, "  the  most  marked  differences  between 
A.  maeulota  and  A.  fidvi/ftila  are  that  the  checks  of  the  former 
mn  itTeaked  with  brown,  while  those  of  the  latter  ara  plain  buff, 
the  Bpecolum  is  parplc  instead  of  green;  the  general  effect  of 
tli«  coloration,  especially  on  the  undersides,  is  mottled  instead  of 
rtreaked  ;  the  light  colour  everywhere  is  a  pale  buff  or  isahella 
Oftlonr  instead  of  a  rich,  deep  buff,  and  the  tail-markings  also  are 
different,  as  indicated."

Female.  Somewhat  smaller  than  the  male,  and  paler:  "iris 
brick-red ;  bill  black,  with  a  yellow  band  across  the  middle  of  the 
lower  mandible  ;  feet  greyish  purple "  (Zoria).  Total  length  15'5 
inches,  wing  7-5,  tail  3'5. 

This  species  is  absolutely  similar  to  the  supposed  female  of  N.  cat- 
taneum,  both  in  colour  and  dimensions,  so  that  I  am  utterly  unable 
to  diatinguiab  it ;  still  it  seems  quite  certain  that  they  are  not 
identical,  as  birds  in  the  pluma^  of  Anat  ffibberifront  have  bred, 
and,  perhaps,  are  still  breeding,  in  the  Zoological  Gardens  of 
London. 

In  the  Hon.  W.  Rothschild's  collection  there  are  two  specimens, 
brought  frozen  in  the  flesh  &om  Melbourne :  one  is  in  the  plumage 
of  the  male  ^.  cottaneum,  and  the  other  in  that  of  the  suppoaedfeniale 
of  the  same,  and  both,  having  been  dissected,  proved  to  be  msles  ; 
I  have  seen  the  testiclcB  and  the  windpipe,  with  the  bulla  ossea,  of 
both;  one  bad  tbe  testioles  enormously  developed,  showing  that  it 
was  killed  in  the  breeding-season. 

I  have  seen  also  a  male  bird  that  lived  in  the  Zoological  Gardens 
of  London,  which  has  the  plumage  of  N.  gibherifrma,  or  female 
N.  eastaneamy  but  shows  on  the  breast  a  distinct  reddish  tinge.

Adult  malt.  Head  and  neck  pale  reddish  ttrowD,  ihickJy  streaked

feathers  narrowly  edged  with  rntoua-grey  ;  ramp  and  upper  t^ii-

decreasing  inwardly;  speculum  velvety  black,  bounded  at  the  tip 
by  a  broad  white  band ;  primaries  blackish  brown  ;  tertiala  and 
ecapnlars  greyish  brown,  with  narrow  reddish  margins;  under 
wing-ooverta  dark  brown;  aiillaries  white;  tail-featheJa  brown, 
with  paler  tips:  "  irides  browu  ;  beak  and  feet  red  "  (6VaikIi(ii«'); 
"beak  reddish  brown,  feet  brown"  (^ii*.  SothK-hUd).  Total 
length  Ifi  to  17  inches,  wing  8,  tail  4,  oulmen  1-5,  tarsus  1*5. 
(JfBJt.  RothKhild.) 

FgmaU.  Similar  to  the  male,  only  somewhat  smaller,  and  the 
dask}'  spota  on  the  underparta  duller.  {Mm.  RoOufhild.) 

Imntature  bird.  Similiir  to  the  adult,  but  the  dusky  spots  OD  the 
uuderparts  more  longitudinal,  streak-like ;  the  browa  under  tail- 
coverts  not  uniform,  but  distinctly  margined  with  reddish  buff. 

This  species,  although  nearly  related  to  N,  gibherifrona,  is  porfeotly 
distinct,  having  the  bill  much  smaller  and  red,  the  spots  on  the 
breast  paler  and  less  defined  ;  the  upper  wing-coverts  more  grey  ; 
the  speculum  velvety  black,  without  the  green  longitudinal  band ; 
the  wbit«  baud  at  the  tip  of  the  secondaries  broader,  pure  white, 
witli  no  trace  of  rufous  tinge  ;  the  axillaries  pore  white  instead  of 
brown. 

The  figure  in  the  'Oiseanx  do  Madagascar'  is  not  exact  and 
rather  misleading,  showing  the  speculum  with  bloc  and  green 
gloM,  the  white  band  on  the  last  row  of  the  wing-coverts  eqoally 
broad,  iustuad  of  gradually  diminishing  in  breadth  inwardly,  and 
the  general  colour  too  rofcscent.

of  the  head  and  neck  bluish  grey,  with  greenish  reflections,  especially 
on  the  sidea  of  tJie  nai>e  ;  back  browniiih  black,  the  feathers  edged

bands  of  black ;  under  tail-coverta  black,  glossed  with  groon  :  a  white 
patch  on  the  lower  flanks  on  each  side  of  the  base  of  the  tail :  shorter 
scapalaie  brown,  with  white  cresccntic  bars  and  nifons  edges  ;  the

The  outer  web  :  "  iridos  bright  yellow ;  hilt  dark  purplish  black,  the

Total  length  22  inches,  wing  9' 75,  tail  4,  culmen  2'55,  tarsus  I'3. 

Femal*.  A'ery  similar  to  that  of  S.  clypeata,  from  which  it 
differs  in  being  darker,  heavier  brown-spotted  on  the  nnderparts, 
uid  principally  in  the  tail,  which  is  dark  brown,  with  rufcscent 
edges  and  narrow  bars,  instead  oF  being  pale  fa,wu-coli>ur  wilh 
lirown  marking:  the  speculum  is  of  a  darker  green. 

Yotmy.  Similar  to  the  female,  but  duller  and  darker. 

Although  I  have  kept  separate  the  synonymy  of  S.  laritgata 
froiu  New  Zealand,  I  must  say  that  1  have  not  Invn  able  to 
satisfy  myaelf  that  it  is  different  from  S.  rAi/ncAyfuf  of  tho  Australian 
continent.  According  to  Mr.  Gould  the  New  Zealand  male  bird 
ha«  much  more  white  on  the  sides  of  the  lower  neck  and  breast. 
I  hare  seen  Australian  birds  which  have  as  much  white  on 
the  fiidea  of  the  neck  and  breast  as  the  New  Zealand  ones;  and 
knowing  how  much  tlic  extension  of  the  white  un  the  neck  varies 


in  the  male  of  S.  dypeaia  according  to  age,  I  am  indiiied  to 
oonaider  the  Aastralian  and  New  Zealand  forms  as  spedfically 
identicaL 

H<A.  AoBtralia,  Taamaoia,  and  New  Zealand.

vent  a,uA  under  tail-coverts  dark  brown,  slightly  vennlculated  with

wing-coverta  much  less  vermicnlated  with  white :  bill  and  l^;s 
darker  than  in  the  male.     Size  aomewhat  less. 

Yotmg  male  has  the  white  at  the  base  of  the  bill  like  the  adult 
female,  but  it  is  of  a  darker  and  richer  colour. 

Matt  in  first  nvptial  drtM  has  leas  green  metallic  gloss  on  tho 
head  and  neck  ;  the  black  breast-feathers  have  white  margins  ;  tho 
black  under  tail-coverts  are  more  or  less  vermiculated  ;  in  the  ver- 
micnlations  of  tho  lower  mantle,  scapulare,  and  wing-coverte  the 
dark  brown  predominates  orer  the  white. 

Male*  in  moulting  pliiniatjf  closely  refiemble  adult  females. 

Tount/  tn  down  closely  resemble  those  of  the  Tufled  Duck  (Sa- 
hohm) :  "  crown,  nape,  and  upper  parts  uniform  dark  olive-brown ; 
throat,  sides  of  the  head,  and  fore  part  of  the  neck  yellowish  white  ; 
a  dolt  greyish  band  crosses  the  lower  neck,  rest  of  the  nnderparts 
dull  yellowish,  the  flanks  greyish  yellow ;  upper  mandible  blackish, 
tooth  of  the  beak  yellowish ;  under  mandible  yellow  "  ( Dretstr). 

According  to  Dr.  Stejneger,  the  American  form  (nraredea)  has 
the  pnmaries,  from  the  fourth  quill,  with  a  grejish — not  white — 
area  ou  the  inner  web.  I  must  confess  that  I  have  not  been  able 
to  appreciate  the  difference.  Also  the  Eanl-ern  Asiutio  birds  are 
considered  by  the  American  ornithologists  to  belong  to  a  distinct 
form,  allied  to  F.  nj^'iw,  but  differing  in  having  the  "sis  inner 
primaries  with  a  distiuct  white  space  on  inner  weha  as  in  F.  mnrila." 

The  Chioese  and  Japanese  birds  examined  by  me,  and  among 
them  are  those  mentioned  and  described  by  Swinhoe  as  biJonging 
to  F.  mariloidu,  Vig.,  are  not  conetautly  smaller  than  tiie  Western 
birds  (marila) ;  sometimes  they  ore  intermediate  between  Ime 
F.  marila  and  F.  affinij,  not  only  in  siic,  but  also  in  the  colour  of 
the  head,  which  shows  some  purple  reflections.  Are  these  fpeciracns 
hybrids  ? 

fftifi,  PalEearctic  llepion,  from  Iceland  to  Kamt-schatka,  breeding 
in  the  Arctic  Begion  as  far  north  as  lat.  70°  ;  winters  sparingly  in 
the  basin  of  the  Mediterrauean,  but  (to  my  knowledge)  not  reaching 
Abyssinia,  as  stated  by  Mr.  Seebobm  ;  it  winters  also  in  the  basins 
of  the  Black  8ea  and  Caspian ;  rare  in  Northern  India ;  winters  on 
Lake  Baikal,  China,  Formosa,  and  Japan. 

Tho  Scaup  inhabits  also  the  Nearctic  Region,  breeding  far  north- 
ward ;  southwards  in  winter  to  Guatemala.

more  extended  backwards  on  the  temporal  region  ;  knob  on  tiie

oyer  the  front  of  the  mandihle.  nail  cadmium-yellow,  narrowly 
edged  anteriorly  with  lighter  yellow,  and  Bometimes  posteriorly  with 
light  lavender,  nides  wi^  large  squarish  patch  of  black  at  base,  thia

Adult  male.  Upper  part  of  the  head  deep  velvety  black,  witi  a, 
lino  of  white  dividing  the  centre  of  the  crown  from  the  level  of  the 
eye  to  the  napo;  na|ie  and  hinder  part  of  the  auricular  region 
covered  with  stiff  feathers  of  a  pale  aea-grecn  ;  chocks,  neck. 
back,  and  scapulars  white;  lower  part  of  the  centre  of  the 
back,  rump,  and  upper  tail-coverte  black  ;  throat  while,  gradually 
shading  into  yellowish  buff  on  the  lower  port  of  the  fore-nock  and 
upper  breast ;  rest  of  the  under  surface  of  the  body  black,  vitli  a 


1 


oonapicDOns  white  patch  on  citJier  aide  of  the  rump;  amaller  and 
median  wmg-coverts  white,  th«  greater  coverts  like  the  secondaries 
brown-black,  primariea  slighlly  poler;  inner  secondariea  white, 
broadly  edged  with  brown-black  on  the  outer  weh ;  tertUls  white, 
alightly  lalcatod ;  marginal  under  wing-covert«  pale  brown,  edged 
with  white,  the  central  ones  and  axiilaries  white ;  tail  greyish 
brown :  bili  dull  olive-grccn,  almost  olive-yellow  in  old  birds,  nail 
Drownish  white ;  feet  light  oLve-green,  daws  brownish  black ;  iris 
Urown.  Total  length  about  22  inches,  wing  12,  tail  5,  culmen  2-:;. 
tarsus  l-a. 

Female.  General  plumage  pale  rufoos-browu,  head  and  neck  with 
narrow  black  streaks  along  the  centres  of  the  feathers,  but  the 
upper  part  of  the  head  blacker ;  upper  and  under  patta  banded  with 
black  and  nifous-brown ;  the  black  bands  on  the  back  broader ; 
greater  wing-coverts  and  secondaries  uniform  dark  brown,  with 
narrow  white  tips,  forming  two  white  alar  bars  ;  under  wing- 
Gorerts  brown,  edged  with  ruibus,  the  central  ones  and  axiUaiios 
dull  grey;  primaries  and  tail-leathers  dark  brown;  abdomen 
almost  uniform  bruwn  :  bill  and  feet  as  in  the  male. 

Young  in  first  j>luinag«  closely  resemble  adtilt  females,  but  the 
two  white  alar  bars  are  very  indistinct,  and  the  margins  of  all  the 
leathers  are  grey  instead  of  brown -chestnut.  Malt*  may  be  distin- 
guished fxoai /tJiiaUs  by  the  nearly  black  sides  of  tbeix  heads. 

MaUe  iitjiret  nuptial  dreta  may  he  distingttished  by  the  remains 
of  greyish-brown  feathers  on  both  the  white  and  black  parts. 

Jfuie*  in  mouUing-drfts  closely  resemble  males  in  first  plumage, 
but  generally  have  some  white  and  black  feathers  ot  the  nuptial 
dress  remaining. 

youru/  in  down  have  the  upper  parta  dark  brown,  and  the  nnder- 
porta,  as  well  as  a  broad  streak  over  each  eye,  pale  brown. 

The  American  Eider  Buck,  so  far  as  1  can  see,  is  scarcely 
different  from  the  European ;  but,  according  to  Mr.  Bidgway, 
it  differs  in  having  the  "  bill  orange-yellowish  in  life ;  the  breast 
paler  bud,  the  tertials  more  tulcate."  As  to  the  dimensions  of  the 
Qill,  I  cannot  find  that  there  is  any  constant  diil'ercnce. 

Hab.  Arctic  regions  of  the  Western  Fahearctic  Region,  from 
Iceland  eastwarda  as  far  as  the  shores  of  the  Kara  ^Bi  it  migrates 
in  winter  to  the  Baltic,  the  shores  of  the  North  Sea,  and  the 
English  Channel ;  occasionally  straying  to  Southern  Europe.  The 
Nearctic  lonn,  doubtfully  distinct,  inhabits  Eastern  Arctic  America, 
including  tireeuland  ;  south  to  Northern  Labrador  in  summer,  and 
to  the  northern  boundaries  of  United  States  in  winter.

Similar  in  plumage  to  S.  moUueima  and  S.  dreueri,  but  the 
adult  vmle  has  a  V-shaped  mark  of  blatk  on  throat,  tiko  the  male  of

remaiodcr  of  the  upper  surface,  chest,  and  Hanks  blackish  brown, 
cnwsed  by  numerous  narrow  freckled  bars  of  bulfy  white,  in  wme 
spocimiins  almost  obsolete  ;  sides  of  tbe  head  and  neck  lighter,  the 
pale  and  blackidh  bars  broader;  uoderparts  buffy  white  at  the  tip 
of  the  feathers  ;  under  tail-coverta  dark  brown,  crossed  with  bnffy' 
white  banda  at  the  tip  of  tho  feathers ;  quills  and  tail-feathers 
blackish  brown  ;  irides  dark  brown :  "  bill  and  large  lobe  beneath 
the  chin  greenish  black ;  legs  and  Feet  dark  leaden  grey  ;  inside  of 
the  tarsi  greenish  grey "  ( Gou7(i),  Total  Ifingth  about  20  iuohes, 
wing  9-25,  tail  6,  eulmen  1-7,  tarsus  1-55. 

Female.  Similar  to  the  male  in  colour,  but  much  smaller,  and 
alio  the  lobe  beneath  tho  chin  much  smaller.  Total  length  about 
23  inches,  wing  7*5,  eulmen  1-4. 

Mr.  Gould  SBj-s  that  the  fcraatc  is  sometimes  destitute  of  the 
lobe  benoath  the  chin  ;  but  I  think  that  he  was  mistaken,  an  every 
Kliecimen  in  the  collection,  even  the  young  in  down,  is  furnished 
with  the  lobe. 

Young  in  down.  Upper  piirts,  head,  neck,  upper  part  of  the

It  eeems  to  mo  that  this  extremely  singular  bird,  which  Messrs. 
BothschUd  and  Hartert  hsre  done  me  the  hononr  of  naming  after 
nae,  has  its  nearest  ftlly  in  IlymeTioItemut ;  and  for  the  present  I 
think  they  nrnst  both  find  their  place  near  Aftrffanflla,  although 
it  is  qnite  ptissible  that  tboy  btlong  to  a  distinct  subfamily.  The 
species  of  the  genera  Hymenolamat  and  Meryamtta  arc  all  monntain-

The  type  of  thia  speciea  is  still  unique :  there  ia  no  colleotor's 
namo  on  the  label,  no  that  ibe  locality  is  uncertain.  Apparently 
the  bird  ia  a  young  mole  ;  it  baa  no  white  patch  on  the  throat,  and 
in  that  respect  resembles  the  young  of  M.  gfratoi;  while  it  ajt- 
(ininches  M,  castor  in  the  grey  colour  of  tbe  npper  parts  and  the 
whit«  of  the  lower.  The  squamale  form  of  the  markings  on  the 
Banks  disHngutsbeB  thia  bird  from  the  allied  ones,  but  I  have  somo 
doubts,  that  it  may  bo  either  an  individual  variety  or  an  hybrid  !

Tinamons  bave  a  superficial  reacmblaDce  to  Partridges.  Their 
bill,  usually  elongated,  is  as  long  as,  or  shorter  than,  the  head ;  the 
culmen  is  nearly  etraigbt  or  slightly  cnrred,  flattened  and  covered 
at  the  base  vith  a  membrane  or  cere,  which  also  envelops  the 
nasal  grooves ;  the  nostrils  are  large,  basal,  or  even  open  in  the 
anterior  half  of  the  bill ;  the  wings  short,  concave,  rounded,  and 
quint o-cubital ;  the  tail  short,  constantly  pendent,  and  generally 
hidden  by  the  upper  tail-coverts ;  tarsi  moderate  and  shielded  in 
iix>nt,  or  entirely  covered  with  hexagonal  scales ;  the  toes  are  mostly 
ibnr,  but  sometimes  only  three;  when  present,  the  hind  toe  is 
articnlated  higher  than  the  anterior  ones.  Powder-down  patches 
are  present  among  the  feathers,  and  these  in  some  have  aftershofts. 

TinamouB  have  a  small  head  and  slender  neck,  clothed  with  very 
abort  feathers  ;  the  plumage  is  generally  inconspicuous  ;  some  tint 
of  brown,  ranging  from  rufous  to  sTaty,  and  often  more  or  less 
closely  barred  with  a  darker  shade  of  black,  or  even  with  pale  bnfT, 
is  the  prevailing  coloraliot). 

The  newly  batched  cMcka,  nidifngons  or  praeoett,  are  covered 
witb  down,  and  mote  or  less  closely  resemble  the  young  of  some  of 
the  Ratita. 

The  male  takes  on  himself  the  duty  of  incubation. 

The  ^ga  are  very  remarkable,  curiously  unlike  those  of  other 
birds,  and  the  shell  looks  like  highly  burnished  metal  or  glazed 
porcelain,  preMUting  also  various  colours,  which  soem  to  be  constant 
ticular  species,  ranging  from  i

tliat  tho  TinaiBoua  formed  a  very  distinct  group  of  birds,  which, 
though  not  to  be  removed  from  tho  Cai-inaUr,  presented  much 
resemblance  to  the  ffaiitir.  il.  Alix  aJao  hns,  from  an  inde- 
pendent JavestigBlion  of  the  osteology  and  myology  of  Noihura 
major,  come  to  TirtuiUly  tho  ssme  conclusion  (Joum.  de  Zool.  iii. 
pp.  1G9  and  252,  pis.  -riii.-xi.).     (A.  Newton.) 

Dr.  Stejneger  (Kingal.  Stund.  Nat.  Hist.  iv.  (Birds)  p.  51,  1885) 
has  emphasized  the  many  Struthious  characters  of  the  Tinamous. 

Ur.  Seebobm  (Class.  B.  p.  43)  says  that  "  tho  Tinamous  appear 
to  form  a  link  between  the  Gallinrr  and  the  Apterygea.  The  ster- 
Biim  is  quite  unii[ue,  but  it  approaches  nearest  to  that  of  the  OaUinm 
and  is  as  far  as  possible  from  that  of  the  if  a 'if  t^.  In  their  pterj'losis 
the  Tinamous  are  Galline,  and  not  in  the  least  Struthionine.  On 
the  other  hand,  tho  pelvis  and  the  palut-e  have  certain  oharocteristica 
vhich  are  only  to  be  found  in  the  St  ru  t  hi  on  i  formes." 

Mr.  E.  B.  Sharpe  in  1891  ('Review  of  Recent  Attempts  to  Classify 
Birds ')  agrees  with  Secbohm's  class ificat ion,  and  places  the  Tinamous 
after  the  RaliUe  at  the  beginning  of  the  Curinattf,  just  before  the 
Oalliforvie*. 

One  year  later.  Dr.  Gadow  (P.  Z.  S.  1892,  p.  243)  placed  the 
CrypUiriformf»,  as  he  calls  the  Tinamous,  immediately  after  the 
Aitteriformea  and  before  the  Galli/orrues,  giring  the  following 
diagnosis:^ 

"  Neotrnpical.     Nidifugona.      Phytophagous. 

"  Schizognathons.     Vomer  fused  ivith  bones  of  palate.    (Unii/ue.) 

"  Basiptcr}'goid  proeoases  present. 

"  Rhamphothoca  compound.     Narcs  impervious.     Holorhinal. 

"  Bt«rnum  with  very  slender  and  long  mesostornum  and  simple 
posterior  lateral  processes.     Proconicoid  process  rudimentary. 

"  With  incisura  ischiadicii. 

"  Hypotarsus  simple. 

"  Flexors  of  type  II. 

"  Neck  with  lateral  aptcria. 

"  Aftershaft  rudimentary. 

"  Oil-gland  tufted.     Quinto-cubil^d. 

"  Ten  jirimaries. 

"  PlagiocoDlous,  tj-pe  V.     Cajca  large.     Crop  globular." 

In  a  more  recent  work  (Bronn's  '  Klassen  und  Ordnungen  dee 
Thier-Rcichs,'  vi.  Viigel,  p.  160)  Dr.  Oadow  defines  very  shortly  tho 
Tinamifoniitt  as  Kidifugous  Carinatffi  with  incisura  ischiadica  and 
without  pygostjle.  and  places  them  between  the  Fakotii formes  (I) 
and  the  Uallifonna.

S-yS,  oulmea  1-25,  tarsus  2-56. 

Female.  Similar  to  the  male,  but  somewhat  larger,  and  whiter 
below  ;  upper  part  of  the  head  uniform  rufous  cinnamon  ;  no  greyish 
tinge  on  the  forehead  and  sides  of  the  heod,  which  arc  uniform  with

browner.  Total  length  about  19  inches,  wiug  0-4,  culmeu  1-30. 
tarsus  2-50. 

Both  the  birds  described  belong  to  Natterer's  collection  and  are 
from  Kio  Negro :  they  have  been  attributed  by  Ton  Pelzcln  to  two 
different  birds,  the  male  to  T.  t^heristatus''  and  the  female  to 
T.  bratilientit ;  but  they  arc  so  muth  alike  that  1  cannot  believe 
that  they  are  specifically  different,  us  it  would  be  impossible  that 
two  such  allied  forms  should  be  found  in  tbe  same  region  ;  the 
difforenoes  appear  to  me  to  be  only  sesnal. 

I  am  not  quite  certain  as  to  the  proper  name  of  this  species,  the 
description  of  tho  old  authors  being  very  unsatisfactory  ■  for  ths 
present  I  hare  thongbt  it  best  to  retain  tJie  name  mq/or,  although 
it  was  applied  to  the  bird  &om  Cayeuue,  where  I  am  not  aware 
that  the  species  has  been  found  in  recent  times.  Marcgrave's  and 
Brisson's  descriptions  may  apply  to  T.  tolilaritu,  to  which  I  have  no 
douht  Pkv»  wrratKt,  Spix,  also  belongs.

^P  In  Gray's  description  the  colour  of  the  (|utlls,  which  is  most 

^1  chjvrBotenstic  in  the  species  of  this  genus,  is  not  menlioncd  ;  but 

^1  Mr.  Sharpe,  who  at  ray  request  has  re-exaraiued  the  tyjie  after  my 

^1  departure  from  London,  writos  to  me  as  follows  :^"  The  inner  woba 
^1  of  the  primaries  are  greyish,  freckled  with  rufons  bars ;  they  are 
^1         aboat  the  same  colour  above  and  below  ;  the  greater  under  wing-

coverts  are  duahy  brown  like  the  quill-llDing,  with  &  few  nifescent 
bare  towards  the  ends,  so  that  they  resemble  the  lining  of  the 
qnills ;  they  may  be  called  grey  with  mfous  bare,  bnt  I  shoold 
consider  the  oolour  greyish  brown ;  certainly  they  are  not  rufous 
with  grey  bars." 

In  the  Bogota  birds  the  primariea  have  the  outer  webs  barred 
with  rufons  and  brown,  while  thr  innrr  webi  are  rufous,  with  narrov 
undulated  greyith-firown  ban  ;  the  secondariee  outwardly  are  almost 
regularly  barntd  with  broader  brown  bars  and  narrower  rufous  ones, 
between  them  there  are  obsolete  narrow  blackish  bare ;  the  under 
wing-coverts  are  rufous  with  crescentic  greyish-brown  bars;  the 
greater  ones  or  last  row  have  pale  rufous  and  grey  bars. 

Home  specimens  are  thickly  dotted  with  reddish  white  on  the 
upper  parts  and  wings. 

In  the  Bogota  specimens  there  is  also  a  good  deal  oE  variation  in 
the  rufous  colour  of  the  underparts,  in  some  specimens  deep  chest- 
nut,  in  othera  clear  rufons. 

The  Bogota  birds  differ  from  the  type  in  having  ttie  inner  web  of 
the  primaries  di»li<netly  rafbut,  freckled  with  greyiah  bars,  and  the 
greater  under  wing-coverts  dusky  grey,  regularly  barred  with 
rufous  &om  the  base  and  not  only  at  the  tip.  Possibly  when  a 
larger  series  is  available  it  will  be  found  convenient  to  separate 
specifically  the  Bogota  birds  from  thoae  from  Venezuela.  Also  the 
birds  from  Ecuador,  which  by  Taczanowaki  and  Berlepech  are  said 
to  be  somewhat  different,  require  comparison. 

Young  (&om  the  interior  of  New  Uranada).  Similar  to  the  adult

black ;  throat  whitish,  washed  with  rufescent ;  lower  neck  and 
upper  parts  rulbua  brown,  waved  with  black  lines ;  breast  and

black  lines  ;  aides  and  flanks  olive-brown,  waved  with  black  linos ; 
centre  of  the  lower  abdomen  lighter,  with  narrow  blackish  bars  and 
whitish  dots ;  tbigbs  oUvc-brown,  barred  with  black ;  under  tail- 
coverts  olive-brown  waved  with  black  ;  upper  wing-coverts  like  the 
back,  but  the  greater  ones  with  some  whitish  dots ;  (Quills,  in  the 
closed  wings,  olive-brown  with  irregidar  black  bars  and  others 
rafeaccnt;  primariw  with  rufous  and  blackish  irregular  bars  on 
the  outer  web,  on  the  inner  web  more  rufescent  grej-,  freckled  or 
irr^ularly  barred  with  blackish ;  under  aspect  of  the  quills  barred 
with  greyish  brown  and  dull  reddish ;  under  wing-coverts  barred 
with  greyish  brown  and  rufescent,  the  greater  or  last  row  much 
lighter,  with  greyish  and  dull  or  pale  rufescent  bars ;  tail  waved  with 
olive-brown  and  blackish  :  "  iris  dark*'  (Salmmt)  :  upper  mandible

Another  specimen,  also  marked  maU,  differs  in  having  the  lower 
back  and  upper  tail-coverts  conspicuously  spotted  with  white ;  the 
wings  with  many  more  whitish  or  buff  spots,  the  rufous  bars  on  the 
quills  broader;  the  abdomen  and  thighs  are  also  conspicuously 
spotted  with  white ;  the  barrings  on  the  under  surface  of  the  quills 
are  broader. 

This  species  is  easily  distinguished  from  N.  bonapartd  and  If. 
frantzii  by  the  whitish  throat,  only  washed  with  rufescent ;  besides

FanaJs.  Similar  to  the  male,  only  paler  on  the  abdomen. 

The  larger  specimens  have  the  apper  part  of  the  head  and  nape 
much  darker,  nearly  black. 

A  youttff  bird,  apparently  belon^g  to  this  apeciee  (Forest  of 
Itaborari,  on  the  Bio  UaoocoD,  ilftu.  Turin),  is  duller,  has  the  throat 
paler  greyish,  the  upper  parts  finely  Tormiculated  and  with  a  few 
blackish  and  whitish  huff  dots,  and  the  lower  fore  neck  and  the 
breast  distinctly  barred  with  brown. 

Taczanowski  mentions  two  Peruvian  races,  both  differing  &om 
the  Brazilian  birds  in  having  a  darker  grey  throat  and  the  bill 
much  smaller,  and  he  gives  the  fallowing  diagnoses  of  tbem : — 

Firtt  race  (Central  Peru).  Upper  parts  darker  and  less  rufescent, 
middle  of  the  abdomen  broadly  fulvous  and  paler,  distinctly  different 
from  the  colour  of  the  flanks,  where  the  dark  bars  are  less  distinct ; 
the  smoky-grey  colour  of  the  sides  of  the  head  distinctly  washed 
with  reddish  ;  iris  orange. 

Second  race  (Northern  Peru).  Upper  parts  paler  and  more  mfes- 
^  «ent,  abdomen  brighter ;  iris  brown. 

Sab.  Paraguay,  Argentiue,  Brazil,  and,  if  the  same  species,  Co- 
lombia and  a^  Peru.  The  Colombian  birds  mentioned  by  Scbl^^ 
probably  belong  t«  C.  caataneua,

The  variations  in  this  species  are  so  great  that  it  is  impossible  to 
give  a  description  which  can  apply  to  each  specimen,  even  adult. 

The  brighter  coloured  birds  are  those  from  Bartica  Grove,  Britieh 
Ooiana  (i^  e),  thepaler  are  from  BalzarUoant^Ds(t,  u)  ;  specimens 
from  Antioqaia  (a^)  and  Nicaragua  («',/')  also  often  h«ve  the  neck 
very  dark  brown  in  front.  Noth withstanding  the  large  series  in  the 
British  Uoseiun,  we  must  watt  for  larger  series  from  each  locality  to 
decide  whether  several  races  can  be  recognized.  C.  nteserythrta, 
Sdat.,  &om  Mexico,  is  very  little  brighter  than  some  specimens  Irom 
Brazil,  and  much  duller  than  the  Guiana  birds;  to  the  Central 
American  dark-necked  form,  if  distinct,  the  name  C,  modettai,  Cab, 
may  be  applied.

brown  on  the  occiput ;  throat  whitish  ;  neck  with  black  and  rufous 
bars  ;  back  sirailar,  hut  the  bars  broader  and  better  definwl,  the  light

greyish ;  lower  fore  nock  and  sides  ot  breast  greyish,  with  dnsky

The  only  specimen  I  have  seen  of  this  species  is  the  one  collected 
on  the  Lower  Piloomayo  by  Graham  KeiT ;  D'A:eara  says  he  has 
seen  eight  sywcimens  in  24°  S.  lat.,  about  the  same  latitude  as 
the  IjOwer  Pilcomayo.  It  upppcars  to  me  that  the  specimen 
examined  is  different  from  the  Bolivian  and  Srazilian  birds 
(0.  Kolojia.v=^Tadiattt»).  The  principal  differences  are  the  mucb 
darker  colouring,  the  much  broader  barrings  of  the  upjier  parts,  the 
upper  part  of  the  head  almost  entirely  black,  and  the  bastard-wing, 
primary-eoTcrt£,  and  primaries  of  a  much  darker  greyish  brown, 
nearly  black.

Ftmah.  Similar  to  the  male,  bnt  the  lower  parte  less  whitish  and 
more  rufesceut ;  under  tail-coverts  with  no  white  tips ;  the  bars  on 
the  upper  part*  aomewhat  narrower  (  WU<1).  It  appears  to  me 
that  the  female  is  to  be  distingnisfaed  by  the  upper  parts  being 
blacker,  with  more  regular  and  narrower  rufous  bars ;  besides  each 
foather  has  two  rufous  bars. 

Tounij.  Differs  from  the  adult  in  having  white  dots  on  the  fore- 
head, behind  the  eyes,  on  the  cheeks  and  upper  parts  ;  the  feathers 
of  the  fore  neck  have  blackish  subnpical  bare  and  white  tips ;  also 
the  feathers  of  the  lower  parta  have  white  tips,  moat  coDspicuonB 
on  the  lower  flanks. 

Young  in  Jirtt  moult  has  no  barrings  on  the  upper  parts,  which 
are  olive-brown,  more  or  less  marked  with  black  and  dotted  with

breast.  Total  length  about  13  inches,  wing  8,  tail  2*6,  culmen  1-2, 
tarsus  2-2 

Young  male.  "  The  whole  of  (be  upper  parts  with  pale  msiy- 
yellow  dots,  and  between  these  with  obsolete  brown-black  undulated 
marks  ;  on  the  upper  biil-covcrta  the  yellovrish  extends  on  the  edges 
of  the  feathers ;  lower  parts  pale  brownish  grey,  washed  with 
yellowish  brown,  marked  all  over  with  darker  grey-brown  ngzag 
obsolete  cross-lines  "  (  Wud). 

Two  specimens'  in  the  Turin  Museum,  which  have  been  apparently 
kept  in  confinement,  have  the  superciliary  stripes  and  cheeks  very 
pale,  nearly  whitish,  the  grey  colour  of  the  lower  fore  neck  and 
breast  more  or  less  tinged  with  rufous,  and  the  bars  on  tbe  upper 
parts  cover  nearly  the  whole  of  the  back.  They  are  probably 
Jmiales. 

Hab.  Eastern  Brazil,  north  to  Garanhuns,  south  to  Bao  Belmonte. 
The  localities  Peru  (T»ehvdi)  and  Uontcvideo  {SehUgd)  are  open  to

Adult  mate.  Similar  to  tho  male  of  C.  noelivaffui,  but  smaller, 
and  wanting  the  distinct  pale  snperciliar)'  stripe  ;  upper  parts  mora 
olive,  especially  the  upper  ■wing-oo verts,  ruiap,  and  upper  tml- 
ooverta ;  the  feathers  of  the  rump  oltve-Urowa,  with  narrow  blackish 
edges  ;  the  upper  tail-coverts  olive,  with  int/omplete  block  bars,  and 
narrow  pale  buff  bars  near  the  tip ;  the  breast  of  a  paler  rufous 
than  in  C.  noetivrnjas.  Total  length  about  12'5  inches,  wing  7, 
tail  1'9,  culmen  1,  tarsus  1'9. 

Fenudt.  Differs  from  the  female  of  C.  noetivagvt  in  wanting  the 
pale  superciliary  stripe,  iu  the  paler  rufous  colour  of  the  breast, 
in  the  rump  and  upper  tail-covorte  blacker,  the  black  bars  being 
bmader,  while  the  light  bars  are  paler,  being  not  rufous- chestnut, 
but  buff,  so  that  they  are  much  more  distinct. 

The  raale  of  this  species  is  very  similar  also  to  the  male  of  C  ery- 
lihropat,  while  the  female  ia  very  much  like  that  of  V.  dmuimomfag,

This  species  is  allied  to  C.  boucardi,  but,  judging  from  the  only 
specimen  known,  differs  In  having  the  hind  part  of  the  head,  the 
nape,  and  aides  of  the  head  chestnut,  the  neck  and  breast  are  without 
the  dark  slaty-grey  tinge,  the  wings  are  barred  with  black,  and  the 
atyle  of  barring  on  the  wings  is  different,  the  light  yellowish-brown 
bars  BO  conepieuous  in  the  female  of  C.  boucardi  being  absent.

Adult.  Head,  neck,  and  breast  rufoua,  upper  part  of  the  head 
Wack,  the  feathers  more  or  less  edged  wnh  rufous  ;  a  dusky  narrow 
stripe  from  the  corner  of  the  mouth  to  the  ear-coverts  ;  throat  pale 
rufous,  nearly  whit* ;  haek,  rump,  upper  tail-coverts,  and  upper 
wing-coverts  pale  greyish  brown,  with  broadish  black  bars  and 
others  Darrower,  whitish  ;  lower  fianks  and  abdomea  greyish,  with 
brown  and  whitish  bars,  tho  latter  somewhat  narrower ;  bastard- 
wing,  primary-coverts,  and  quills  uniform  bright  oinnamon'rufoua  ; 
t«rtials  greyish,  barred  with  brown  and  buff :  under  wingHuverts 
uniform  rufous  ;  tail  grey,  with  black  and  whitish  bars,  the  latter 
much  narrower.  Total  length  14-17  inches,  wing  8-9,  tail  2-5- 
2'75,  culmen  1'6-1'7,  tarsus  2-3-2'5, 

Female.  Similar,  but  lar^r. 

TouTig  in  doiott.  Head  and  neck  rufescent,  with  longitudinal 
black  stripes ;  sides  of  the  head  and  throat  whit« ;  upper  parts 
stliped  with  white  and  black  ;  lower  parts  white. 

It  seems  that  there  are  three  or  four  sufficiently  distinct  races: — 

1st.  A  Southern  one  from  the  Argentine  llepublic:  very  little 
rufous  on  the  neck  and  not  at  all  on  tho  breast ;  the  black  bars 
much  broader  and  quite  distinct  on  the  flanks.  Tho  birds  from 
Uruguay  are  similar  but  more  rufons  on  the  neek. 

2nd.  A  Southern  Brazilian  race,  has  the  neck  decidedly  mfous, 
and  this  colour  covers  abo  the  upper  part  of  the  breast :  the  black 
bars,  especially  in  the  Matto  Grosso  birds,  are  much  narrower. 

3rd.  A  Bahia  rai«,  similar  to  the  second,  but  with  no  black  bars 
whatever  on  the  flanks ;  also  on  the  under  tail-coverts  and  tail- 
"fcathers  there  is  scarcely  a  trace  of  them,  while  the  whitish  ban 
are  present.

Tacianowski  has  already  remarked  that  PeruvLin  birds  differ 
somewhat  from  Ecuadorian.  In  the  specimens  in  the  Museum, 
d  and  «,  the  black  bars  of  the  secondaries  are  comparatively 
narrower,  and  the  innermost  secondaries  (tertiariea)  are  without 
that  Bubterminal  black  bar  which  is  so  conspicuooa  id  our  specimens 
from  Ecuador.

A  species  not  verj-  well  known.  The  tj-pe  in  the  Paris  Museum 
is  not  fully  adult ;  the  plumage  is  partly  brown ;  the  casque  is  low, 
and  shows  no  characteristic  form ;  the  caruncles  are  quite  separated 
from  the  origin,  and  are  somewhat  distant  one  from  the  other, 
perhaps  by  the  distension  of  the  skin.  Dr.  Oustalet,  however,  in 
the  origirol  description,  says : — "'  La  caroncle  de  la  gorge  est  torte- 
ment  biflde,  comme  dans  Ic  C.  btcearti,"  which  is  not  quite  enact. 

The  type  of  Catiuiritu  altijugat  appears  to  be  fully  adult ;  has 
the  cas(jue  very  high,  with  both  the  anterior  and  po.iterior  edi;oa 
Tcry  thick :  the  wattles  are  two,  on  each  side  of  the  median  line, 
closely  approximating  at  their  base,  but  divided  dovi  n  nearly  to 
their  origin,  and  about  3  inches  in  length.  Whole  length  about 
fi  feet,  tarsus  12'5  inches,  middle  toe  H'5,  bill  from  gape  7'5.

Very  similar  to  C.  tiniapjiendieulatug,  but  differa  in  liavi»g  a 
riuiigular  yellow  patch  on  the  occiput,  the  posterior  surface  of  the 
caaquo  narrower,  the  single  earuncle  smaller.  The  casque  is  pale 
I  Qlive ;  bill  snd  feet  dark  olive.  Total  leugtb  65  inches,  bill  from 
17,  tarsus  II,  nail  of  inner  toc2-75.  (Type,  Mm.  Oeiioa.) 
A  very  old  bird  in  the  Paris  Uaseum  differs  from  the  type  in 
laving  the  casque  much  higher,  with  the  posterior  part  baaally 
narrow,  and  broadened  into  a  flat  surface  towards  the  tip ;  the 
■'Ulterior  edge  is  decidedly  more  convex. 

I  have  examined,  in  the  Paris  Museum,  the  type  of  C  hujlaizii, 
irbicb,  ID  my  opinion,  is  a  small  specimen  of  the  present  species.

According  to  Buller,  as  a  rule,  the  South-Island  birds  are 
larger  than  those  from  the  North  Island  (A.  manltUi),  but  occa- 
sionally examples  of  the  latter  are  fully  equal  in  size  to  the  largest 
specimens  of  A.  atutralii,  lu  this  epocies,  generally  speaking,  the 
long  facial  hairs  or  foelera  are  far  less  abundant  than  in  Iho  North- 
Island  ^Jpf^ry.r.  Besides  it  appears  that  the  feathers  of  A.  ausiralii 
are  soft  and  yielding  when  stroked  towards  the  head.

A.  auslralii  I  hare  seen :  besides,  the  bill  in  both  specimens  is 
darker,  bom-brown,  especially  on  the  upper  part ;  the  claws  of 
the  male  are  brown,  but  those  of  the  female  (of  course  in  dry 
akin)  are  pale  born-cotour,  as  in  A.  avitralu.  Aa  the  differences, 
although  very  slight,  appear  to  be  constant,  we  may  keep  A.  lawriii 
distinct.
