S ¥ ad. General colour darker, more steel-green than in P. c. cumanensis, 

 and mixed with purple on the mantle. Chin and upper throat slaty-blackish, lower 

 throat, foreu«ck, and large, rounded wattle, shaped as in the preceding form, bright 

 reddi.sh-orange. 



N.B. — No. 222.1, marked " ? " b}- Mons. Baer, has the wattle fully as large as 

 the sexed male, and No. 2344. An adult male from Manaijueri is practically 

 identical with those from Goyaz. An immature male from Saugrador, referred 

 to by Pelzeln* as Penelope yrai/i, with a very small wattle, is not different 

 either.

(J ad. General colour as in P. c. nattercri, but feathers of the pileum and 

 crest more hirsute, ending in long, hair-like tips, white with narrow brownish-black 

 shaft-lines. Naked portions of the throat and foreueck slate-blackish as in 

 P. c. cumanensis ; on the middle of the lower throat a long, slender, pendulous 

 caruncle, apparently dull yellowish with dusky tip.

N.B. — Pelzeln proposed P. yrayi merely as a new name for P. jacquinii Gray 

 (nee Reichenbach), and, therefore, it is of no importance that one of the specimens 

 of Natterer's turns out to belong to P. c. nattereri. The example from " Peru " 

 described by Gray, which must be considered as the type of P. grayi, and the 

 male from the Rio Guapore, agree in every respect with our Paraguay bird, 

 characterised by me I.e. s. n. P. nattereri. 



The female from Mattogrosso in the Vienna Museum is slightly intermediate 

 between grayi and nattereri, but nearer the former. 



Mr. Grant t remarks that the series of P. cumanensis in the British Museum 

 seemed to indicate that the characters of P. nattereri (rectius qrai/i) as given by 

 me were not of specific value. I am unable to understand this, for, as shown 

 above, the few specimens in the British Museum fully bear out my conclusions, 

 arrived at by the examination of a far larger amount of material than Mr. Grant 

 has ever seen.
