another specimen; but a more accurate inspection proved 

 such a supposition to be erroneous. 



As our Museum has received a pair of the true M . gallopavo 

 in exchange from the late Prince Neuwied, bearing the locality 

 " Mexico/' it seems that the latter species also occurs further 

 south. Mr. Allen (Bullet. Mus. Comp. Zool. vol. ii. n. 3. 

 342) believes the Mexican Turkey to be not specifically dif- 

 ferent from the more northern bird.

Sale Cat. n. 6100, is the type of Latham's description and 

 figure. 



In the old catalogue of the Vienna Collection " Sumatra" was 

 given as the locality of this specimen ; but as Latham says that 

 the bird in the Leverian Museum was met with by accident at 

 a sale, without the least history annexed, this habitat is evi- 

 dently wrongly assigned to this specimen.
