A young specimen I had a long time alive at Schief- 

 felinsville, was very tame and extremely noisy, so that 

 nobody , not even the bare-footed natives , could approach 

 our station without being observed and loudly , with a 

 plaintive voice, announced by this excellent watchman. It 

 was tolerably large when I got it, but we had to cram 

 the food into its bill during about two mouths , before 

 it was able to help itself. We fed it with butter-pears. 

 Per sea gratissima, and very ripe plantains, but it was al- 

 ways a very helpless bird aud could hardly walk on flat 

 ground. When it slept it had always the tail clapped to 

 the back, unfortunately it died from cold during my 

 return to Europe.
