On new species of Birds from Guatemala. 215 
of the Common Cassowary, and fig. 4 the corresponding part of the 
new species, this bird might well pass as a rather bright-coloured 
variety of the Casuarius galeatus. But I have little doubt that the 
bird, as it grows older, will develope further differences, and that, 
when adult, it will be readily distinguishable by other characters 
from the common species.
