Habits—Mr. Salvin says :—‘‘ This Guan is very abundant in 
the Pacific coast region, where in the neighbourhood of the 
more remote and smaller villages, the woods in the early morn- 
ing resound with its loud continued cries. It is usually seen in 
trees, and shows little symptom of alarm on one approaching. 
Thetime of breeding secms to extend over some period, as 
young birds and fresh eggs were observed simultaneously in 
the month of March. ‘The former appear to run almost 
immediately on becoming free from the shell, and, clinging 
to the branches of the underwood, are nimble in eluding 
capture.”
