* In some specimens, probably younger examples, the shafts of the feathers 

 are dark. This is one of the characters used by Gray in distinguishing the 

 Peruvian bird (which he calls P.jacquiiiii, Eeichenb.) from P. cumancnaia from 

 British Guiana. But two examples obtained by Wbitely on I he Takutu River, 

 Guiana, have a number of the crest-feathers witli dark shafts, while, on the 

 other hand, an example obtiuned by the same collector at Cosnipata, Eastern 

 Peru, has all the shafts white, so there can be little doubt the dark shafts are 

 a character which disappears with age.
