THE CURASSOWS. 209 
Adult Male.—Only differs from the male of C. carunculata in 
having the swollen knob and wattles ye//ozw, instead of scarlet. 
Adult Female-—Only differs from the female of C. carunculata 
in having the basal part of both mandibles ye//ow, instead of 
scarlet. 
Range—Upper Amazons ; Pebas, Rio Napo, Rio Marafion, 
Rio Ucayali, and Sarayacu. 
It seems more than probable that this species may prove to 
be identical with C. carunculata ; in dried skins of the latter 
the scarlet knob and wattles are always yellow ; and, so far as I 
am aware, living examples of C. g/obulosa have never been 
brought to Europe, so that Spix is the only authority for the 
statement that the colour of the soft parts is yellow, and he 
may have taken his description from dried skins. The fact 
that the females of both are identical in plumage is even 
stronger evidence that the two forms belong to the same 
species. Further evidence is wanted, and it is to be hoped that 
any naturalist or sportsman visiting the Upper Amazons will en- 
deavour to settle this point. The colours of the soft parts should 
be noted as soon after death as possible, for they change rapidly.
