the Imperial Collection at Vienna. 35 



The female (120; Sale Cat. n. 5380, Jamaica) is no longer in 

 the collection. 



Does not seem to be mentioned by Latham.

70. G-allus bankiva, Temm. (241, 242.) 



Two English Game-Cocks, one with iron spurs, no longer 

 in the collection. 



71. Meleagris mexicana, Gould. (71.) 



American Turkey, Lath. Gen. Syn. iv. 676. 1 (only the 

 description of the male) . 



Meleagris mexicana, Gould, P. Z. S. 1856, 61 ; Baird, Birds 

 N. America, 614 & 618; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1863, 125. 



The male from the Leverian Museum, which was said to 

 have come from Georgia, agrees very well with Mr. Gould's 

 description, but is inferior in size, its measurements being 

 as follows— length 3' 2\", bill 2", wing 18 V, tail 13", 

 tarsus 5" 9'" ; but a comparison of the measurements given 

 by Prof. Baird (I. c. 619) shows clearly that the dimensions 

 vary to a considerable degree. 



Another point wherein our specimen differs both from M. 

 mexicana and M. gallopavo, consists in the primaries being 

 uniform olive -brown, unadorned with white bars, the secon- 

 daries of the same colour, with a green gloss in the second 

 half, and with a narrow white posterior margin; the inner 

 webs of the secondaries are freckled with buff towards the 

 margins. 



I had a suspicion that the wings might have been taken from
