white and well-defined; otherwise like the following species, 
P. montagnit. ‘Total length, 24 inches ; wing, 9°5; tail, 11°3 ; 
tarsus, 2°8 ; middle toe and claw, 2°6. 
Range.—Brazil, Para, Bahia, S4o Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, 
Rio Parana, and Matto Grosso. 
Habits—Prince Maximilian of Neuwied says:—-“I have 
found the ‘Schacupemba’ in all parts of the forest I have tra- 
versed, and it is observed even in those parts directly washed by 
the waves of the sea. Although the bird is not scarce, it must 
be carefully looked for in the thick interwoven branches, when it 
does not immediately fly off. I have never observed the ‘Schacu- 
pemba’ on the ground, but always about half-way up the trees. 
It has a short, harsh call, frequently repeated, from which one 
may conclude that its trachea is not very highly developed. I 
found the remains of fruit and insects in its crop. The 
flesh is delicious. The Indians in many districts tame these 
birds, and they run about in the woods round their huts.” 
Nest.—Placed in a tree, and composed of sticks and twigs. 
Eggs.— I wo to four in number.
