Hab. Bupposed to be CaUforaia. 



Remark.—l am Indebted to the lundneas of M. Louja Ooulon, 



Director of the Museum at Neufchatel, for the loan of this species, 

 for the purpose of figuring in my monograph : it is the only specimen 

 I have seen, and in all probability is the only one that has been sent 

 to Europe ; it is a bird whose rarity is only eąualled by its beauty : 

 it is very nearly allied to Callipepla Californica, but is distinguished 

 from that bird by the straight form of the crest, the rich colouring of 

 the flank-feathers, by the absence of the scale-like markings of the 

 abdomen, and the greater length of the tail.
