This bird was described by Lesson in his “Centurie Zoologique” in 1830. The following is a part of his description :— “T/’oiseau type, du genre nouveau que nous représentons dans la planche 74 est une des singularités les plus neuves et les plus remarquables de l’ornithologie. “C’est un passage transitoire entre les toucans, les calaos et les enrylaimes ; c’est un type cearactérisé a placer comme lieu intermédiaire entre l’erotta,—(Traite d’Ornithologie, p. 260) et les buceros. « Les enrycéres appartiennent 4 nos passereaux hétérodactyles et 4 notre famille des enrylaimes, le genre sera ainsi caractérisé.” Bonaparte, in his “Conspectus Genera Avium,” classes it near the Ahamphastide after Buceride, which immediately precedes it. G. Rt. Gray classes it among the Sternide, to which it has no affinity whatever. 7 Cranium rounded, without any channel over the vertex to the bill. Occiput very round, with a slight depression on each side above the foramen magnum ; orbital septum, perforated with two foramina, orbits large; the superior margin slightly -reflexed. Bill, with the upper mandible, large; very much raised above, composed of cellular bone, deep; lower mandible deep, with a foramen near its hinder extremity ; both mandibles pointed. Sternum of moderate length, with a deep and wide fissure on each hinder margin. Pelvis broad, short. Palatine bones prolonged on the exterior and hindee margiy into an elongated spine, from the base of which they slope gradually, until they mnie in the centre, where they are slightly deflected, broad. Furculum much arched anteriorly; the process at the junction of the rami, which are rounded, arched, flattened, and the rami long. SUPPLEMENT II. B ian 6 BuceERip&. | OSTEOLOGIA AVIUM.

Rhamphastide or Sternide, From the first family it differs in the shape of the sternum, and from the last in almost every part, particularly in the structure of the sternum and the palatine bones. In all these particulars it agrees with Buceros, and also in the form of the pelvis and furculum. Illustration. Sup. 2, pl A. Details, pl. 1. CRAcIDz. | OSTELOGIA AVIUM. [ OPISTHOCOMIN A. OPISTHOCOMUS. Cristatus. Cranium, a channel of moderate depth, has its origin at the base of the bill, and proceeds backwards on the top of the head to the occiput. Occipital ridge slight, and with a small occipital protuberance; orbits of moderate size ; the septum with one fora- men on its hinder and lower edge; a transverse indentation at the base of the bill; nostrils situated at about half its length, nearly round. Palatine bones much bent downwards; broad for their posterior two-thirds, and united for that distance down their centres, then divaricating, and both edges turned downwards, forming a channel on their lower edges ; hinder end pointed backwards, and gradually narrowed to their junction with the interarticular bones, which are broad for their anterior half and narrowed backwards, the outer edges slightly deflected. Vomer thin. Foramen lacerum posterius very small. Lower maxillary bone curved downwards; broad, with a foramen near the hinder extremity of each branch. Sternum of moderate length; posterior margin rounded, with one fissure on each side of the keel, and with a large triangular foramen on each side externally.to it; hinder margin considerably broader than the anterior edge. Keel very short, extending from the hinder margin to little more than one-half of the length of the sternum; hinder edge sloped off from the point to the hinder margin. The anterior edge sloped very much backwards to the point from the junction of the furculum; the anterior portion being a mere rudimentary ridge. Furculum having the rami very short and straight, and uniting at an acute angle, flattened at their junction with the coracoids, and becoming more rounded towards the terminal process, which is very long and narrow; triangular anchylosed to the rudimentary portion of the keel. Coracoids short and strong, broad at their junction with the sternum, and having a slightly raised rib down the front. Pelvis with the divisions of the vertebree on the hinder half apparent when held up to the light; ischiadic foramen of moderate size, oval; obturator also of medium size, without any notch in front of the acctabulum; ilium projecting much over the bones of the ischium; a ridge proceeds from the junction of the caudal vertebre up the centre of the pelvis, becoming more rounded and obscure on the anterior portion, Ribs broad and strong ; the styliform process attached for a considerable length to the hinder edge of the ribs, and not projecting so far as next rib. Scapula strong, slightly deflected, slightly expanded upwards at about half its length, rounded at its distal extremity, Wing bones strong, short; ulna and radius as long as the humerus, anterior metacarpal bone straight, posterior one much bent, having a large space between it and the inner edge of the anterior one. Leg Bones rather slender; tibia long in proportion to the femur. Metatarsus 8 CRACIDS. | OSTEOLOGIA AVIUM. | OPISTHOCOMIN®. triangular at its upper extremity, with a channel down the front, flattened towards its lower extremity ; os calcis projecting considerably, with a very slight ridge provseding downwards from it. A supplemental metatarsal bone projecting much backwards, not twisted on its axis, tapering and flattened upwards; tubercles for the articulation of the feet broad; toes long. This curious bird appears to be nearly allied to the guans, but differs from in the form of the palatine bones, the hinder margin of the sternum, and furculum. There is no Gallinaceous bird that I am acquainted with that has the hinder margin of the sternum of a similar form, the nearest approach that I am aware of to the form of the furculum is among the cracide in C. Globocera, the process at the junction of the rami is very much elongated, but is not nearly sv much so as in the opisthocomus. The rami also are curved, while in the latter bird they are straight, and the furculum, instead of being anchylosed, or united by a ligament to the point of the keel of the sternum, is anychylosed to its medial portion.

In Rhynochetus it is obliterated, the former bird has a deep foramen on each side, the latter none at all; the pelvis in the former bird is quite straight on its dorsal aspect, the latter has it much arched; in all of which respects it agrees with Psophia. | | Illustration.

NOTE. RHYNOCHETUS. Jdubatus. Provisionally I have classed this bird with the Psophiade, but there is another family with which it agrees in many respects, but without knowing anything of the habits of the Kagu, not much can be finally determined. ‘The family alluded to is that of the Rallide, in which Aramus scolopozeceus is placed by Mr. Gray ; it has long feet, like Rhynochetus, and the same form of sternum. The eggs of the Kagu, of which I have two, are white, spotted with brown ; while those of Posphia, Mr. Bartlett informs me are white. Nuttall says the eggs of Aramus are two in number ; Audubon that they rarely exceed five or six, but neither of these Naturalists say of what colour they are, or shape ; they are not like any heron that I know of, or those of Eurypyga, but more like those of a coot, or large rail. 18 te ae at.

Nostrils lengthened. Ovate cranium, flattened on the vertex; rounded behind; foramen-magnum large. Bill much arched. Inferior maxillary bone much elongated backwards beyond its articulation with the os quadratum. Inter obital foramen large. Sternum indented with a very large fissure, which extends more than half the length of the sternum, and is bounded by a narrow strip of bone, expanded at its ex- tremity, and terminating at about half the length of the fissure; the posterior margin rounded, and narrower than the anterior. In the young bird I suspect it is penetrated with a smaller foramen on each side,.as my specimen has traces of them. Ixeel very deep anteriorly ; the lower edge rounded, the front edges curved. Pelvis very broad, much like the ground pigeon’s, Ribs broad, flattened styliform process, much turned upwards. Furculum rounded, but slightly flattened at its articulation with the coracoids. Coracoids strong. Scopula arched, expanded near the extremities and pointed at the extremities. Wingbones of moderate length; the ulna much longer than the humerus. Legbones with the metatarsi very short Vertebral column strong REMARKS.—This curious bird strongly resembles the ground pigeons in the form of the head, sternum, and pelvis.

I have received a skeleton of this bird, which differs so much from the figure in the “ Zoological Transactions,” that I should almost think there must be two species of Great Auk. Mr. Ed. Gerrard, from whom I received my skeleton, gives this account of it : “You may perhaps like to know how I got these bones. They were got from a guano island off the North of Newfoundland. A vessel was sent there to see if the guano was worth anything for manure. It was found to be useless, owing to. the island being so washed by the sea that all the nature was washed out of the guano. While digging about, one of the gentlemen came across a quantity of bones, which he took to Mr. Woodward, of the British Museum, and they turned out to be the bones of the Great aie, OW! bought the whole, and after spending a great deal of time in sorting them over, I have been able to make out three tolerably perfect skeletons, the best of which I have given you the refusal of.” Pl. 27 ; details 27a. 42 LIST OF PLATES OF SKELETONS OF BIRDS, THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED, CaSTELNAU : Animaux, noveaux ou rares L’Amerique, du sud, Anatomie Oiseaux.
