Hah. Costa Rica and Veragua. 



There is considerable variation in the extent of the denudation of 

 the throat in this extraordinary bird, which was originally dis- 

 covered by Warcewicz in the Cordillera of Chiriqui at an elevation of 

 8000 feet. Mr. Warcewicz describes the bare part of the neck as 

 reddish orange, and the bare base of the throat-wattle as bright 

 red in life.
