_970. Urubitinga anthracina (Nitzsch). 
Apparently notcommon. Onespecimen. Iris brown. Legs and cere 
yellow. 
*71. Spizaétus ornatus (Daud.). 
Mr. Lange described a hawk which evidently belonged to this genus, 
and, from his description, I judge that it was S. ornatus. 
*72. Rostrhamus sociabilis (Vieill.). 
Common. Always found near the water. Two specimens. Iris red. — 
Cere and legs yellow. 
*73. Ibycter americanus (Bodd.). 
Not common. Onespecimen. Irisred. Billin front of cere greenish 
yellow; basal half, clear light blue. Bare parts of head deep red. Feet 
coral red. 
Fam. COLUMBIDA. 
“74. Peristera cinerea (Temm.). 
Apparently not common. Two specimens. Ivis yellow. Feet flesh 
color. 
Fam. CRACIDA. 
“75. Crax globicera (Linn. ). 
Native name, “Pavo Real.” This magnificent bird is the largest 
game bird of the region. The flesh is excellent eating, fully equal, in 
_ my opinion, to that of the domestic turkey. It is often domesticated, 
and thrives under domestication. Two specimens. Iris red. Tumid 
portion of cere bright yellow. 
* 76. Penelope cristata (Linn.). 
Abundant. A hunter brought me one, but I could not save the skin. 
Excellent eating. Iris orange yellow. Bare place on neck; front and 
back scutellz on legs red. Bill black. 
“77. Ortalida cinereiceps Gray. 
Native name, ‘Chachalaca.” Common. Its cry is exceedingly harsh, 
and the din it occasionally raises is surprising, and sometimes alarming. 
Two specimens.
