THE PENELOPES. 227 
and Panama. South America; United States of Colombia 
and Ecuador. 
Habits.—In a note by Dr. Von Frantzius we find the follow- 
ing :—“ This beautiful ‘ Wood-Peacock ’ prefers the thickest 
parts of the forest, perching in large numbers on the trees, 
though at no very great height. It is eagerly sought after on 
account of its delicious flesh, and the more so because it js 
easy to shoot. It is often kept in a domestic state, as it will 
Stay in the neighbourhood of habitations without trying to- 
escape. In Costa Rica it is called ‘ Pava.’” 
According to Mr. C. W. Richmond, these birds are common 
in the forests on the Escondido, where they are usually found 
in the loftiest trees. They are much hunted by the natives, 
who call them “ Qualms.” A hunter is guided almost entirely 
by the low, prolonged cry of the birds, uttered at times while 
feeding, as without this clue it is almost impossible to find 
them.
