506 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON THE CRACIDE. [June 9, 
Temminck is founded ; (2) el Yacu-caraguata = Ortalida canicollis 
of Wagler; (3) el Yacu-apati = P. jacutinga of Spix ; and (4) el 
Mitu, a good species, united by subsequent authors with Craxr 
alector, till Mr. Gray named it Craw sclateri. 
(1811.) Humboldt, in his ‘ Recueil d’Observations de Zoologie’ 
(vol. i. p. 4), describes a new Ortalida from the River Magdalena, 
and calls it Phasianus garrulus (= Ortalida garrula). 
(1815.) Temminck, in the second volume of his ‘ Histoire Na- 
turelle des Pigeons et des Gallinacés,’ gives an excellent account of 
what was then known of the Cracide, referring them to three genera 
of his “ Aves galline,” namely Pauaxi, Crax, and Penelope. The 
genus Pauai is here first established for P. galeata and P. mitu. In 
Crax Temminck places C. globicera (= C. daubentoni), C. rubra 
(= C. globicera 2), C. alector, and C. carunculata, the last species 
being now described for the first time. Of Penelope he gives seven 
species, two of which are now first established, viz. P. obscura upon 
Azara’s “‘ Yacthi,” and P. superciliaris. These both stand good. 
Temminck unites Ortalida with Penelope. He also gives good ana- 
tomical descriptions and figures of the larynges and tongues of several 
of the species of Cracide. 
(1823.) In the ‘General History of Birds’ (vol. viii.), Latham 
arranges the Cracide known to him in two genera of his Gallinaceous 
order, “Guan” and “‘Curassow.” To the former he assigns eleven 
species, to the latter eight species. Little original matter is given. 
(1823.) Inthe twenty-sixth livraison of the ‘ Planches Coloriées’ 
Temminck publishes an article on the genus Ourax (= Pauai), and 
gives a good figure of Ourax mitu (= Mitua tuberosa). 
(1825.) Spix, in the second volume of his ‘ Aves Brasilienses,’ 
describes and figures seven species of Craxr and seven of Penelope,

As is well known, neither Spix’s figures nor his descriptions are very 
accurate ; and until the original type specimens have been examined, 
some of these determinations must remain doubtful. But Spix has 
certainly added greatly to our knowledge of the group. Not less 
than three species of Cracine (viz. Nothocrax urumutum, Mitua
