This group consists of two typical and a third somewhat aberrant 

 species of large dimensions. They are distinguished bv their strong 

 and much compressed bills and large feet, and have the head more 

 or less crested. The rectrices are broad, but have just the tips 

 poiuted and the stems, which are somewhat hardened, slightly pro- 

 jecting. They range from Southern Brazil to Patagonia.
