The name Penelope greeyii was based on an individual received alive in the 

 Gardens of the Zoological Society of London in July, 1865, but which soon 

 died, and was thereupon presented to the British Museum. It was named 

 after " Mr. Edward Greey, F. Z. S., to whom the Society is indebted for this 

 and other interesting novelties from Sta Martha." The description and plate 

 indicate that the bird in question is no other than that now called Penelope 

 marail; the true habitat of which is eastern Venezuela, Guiana, and lower 

 Amazonia. It is practically certain that the bird could not have come originally 

 from the Santa Marta region.
