The paper by Professor Orton (/. c.) gives additional weight to 

 the opinion that there is a second species of Condor. The specimen 

 figured by Eydoux and Souleyet seems to belong to the smaller spe- 

 cies, which is distinctly stated, in the paper above referred to, to be 

 not the young of -S. gryplms. A specimen was living in the spring 

 of 1873 in the Zoological Gardens at Amsterdam, apparently fully 

 adidt, with a perfectly formed erect wattle, but brown in colour all 

 over.
