belly, white-tipped tail, red bill and feet; the crest being well- 
developed. JL tomentosa, of the first two countries only, has a 
shorter crest and chestnut-tipped tail, whereas JL salvini of Ecuador 
has a white belly. Pauxis galeata, the Cashew-bird, inhabiting 
Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru, is glossy greenish-black with white 
abdomen and tip to the tail; the frontal knob, supposed to re- 
semble a Cashew nut, being dull blue. The female shows a large 
admixture of chestnut and buff. 
Sub-fam. 2. Penelopinae—The fifteen species of Penelope are 
brown or olive-green, more or less varied with chestnut and rufous, 
or washed with purple or bronze ; the feathers, moreover, have often 
whitish margins, the head in P. pileata and the outer primaries 
in P. albipennis becoming almost white. The wattled throat is 
generally feathered in P. (Stegnolaema) montagnii, but naked else- 
where, the colour being given as carmine in P. cristata, where the 
feet are red. The orbits are also bare, the crest is moderate, and the 
metatarsus in some cases is partly feathered. Two members of the 
genus inhabit Central America. LP. obscura, the Pavo del Monte, 
alone reaches Northern Argentina, where Craz fasciolata, Pipile 
cumanensis, and Ortalis canicollis, the Charata, also represent the 
Family. Penelopina nigra, of the Guatemalan highlands, 1s 
greenish-black, barred and mottled with brown and buff in the 
female ; the naked orbits are purplish, the bare throat, large wattle, 
bill and feet red. Ovrtalis contains about seventeen forms, some 
hardly worthy of specific rank, of which five occur from South to 
Central America and one—0O. vetula, the Chiacalaca—extends to 
Texas. O. ruficauda is found in Tobago and the Grenadines. 
The coloration is brown or olive, with little or no metallic gloss, 
but relieved by chestnut, rufous and grey; the breast and belly 
being occasionally white or buff, the naked orbits and sides of the 
throat apparently reddish, and the feet pinkish, grey, or blue. 
Pipile cumanensis, of South America northwards from Bolivia and 
Brazil, with Trinidad, is greenish-black ; a white crest of pointed 
feathers reaches the sides of the neck, some white shews on the 
wings and chest; the cere, naked orbits, lores, throat and wattle 
are blue, the feet red. P. jacutinga of South-East Brazil and 
Paraguay has a purplish gloss above, and a red wattle ; P. cujubi of 
the Lower Amazons a brown crest margined with white. Aburria 
carunculata of Colombia and Ecuador is greenish-black, with a 
scantily-feathered throat and long thin wattle. Chamaepetes
