According to Prince Neuwied : " bill plumbeous, like the legs ; iris red, paler 

 than in tlie male." 



The present pale colouring of the bill and legs of the type specimens, nearly 

 eighty years old. evidently is due to fading.

It seems extremely likely that the Brazilian K. erythrophthalma (Wied), the 

 Peruvian N. nationi. and the African N. brunnea are one and the same species, 

 which will iiave to stand under the name of K. erythrophthalma, common to 

 South Afrimi and Soutii America ; the case would be similar to that of Dcndro- 

 cycva vidiiata and D.fulva. which are also found in both continents, the latter 

 species extending even to India.
