tomentosa, and Crax globulosa) and five species of Penelopine (viz. 
P. jacucaca, P. jacupeba, Pipile jacutinga, Ortalida guttata and 
O. araucuan) are due to the researches of his expedition. 
(1828.) Lesson, in the second volume of his ‘ Manuel d’Orni- 
thologie,’ describes two new species of Guans discovered by Goudot, 
one of the travelling naturalists of the Jardin des Plantes, in the 
interior of New Granada. These are Penelope aburri (= Aburria 
earunculata) and Ortalida goudoti (= Chamepetes goudoti). Lesson 
likewise establishes Crax albini, which probably = C. globicera 9°. 
(1830.) Wagler publishes a concise but very important paper in 
the ‘Isis,’ his “‘ Revisio generis Penelope,” and describes eighteen 
species, dividing them into three sections, A, B, & C, corresponding 
exactly to the genera Pipile, Penelope, and Ortalida. His excel- 
lent diagnoses materially assist us in identifying Spix’s species. 
Wagler describes six species as new from the specimens in the Berlin 
and Munich museums, upon which he founded his observations. 
These new species are P. pi/eata, P. purpurascens, P. albiventris, 
P. ruficeps, P. vetula, and P. poliocephala. The last four belong 
to the genus Ortalida. He also founds his P. canicollis upon the 
“* Yacu-caraguata”’ of Azara, of which, however, he had not seen 
specimens. The whole of these seven Waglerian species are valid ; 
and this paper may be regarded as the earliest scientific article (in 
a modern sense) upon this subject. 
(1831.) Yarrell, at a meeting of this Society, describes the trachea 
of Crax yarrelli (i.e. Craxv carunculata). 
(1832.) Wagler, in an article on new genera and species of Mam- 
mals and Birds, published in the ‘ Isis,’ institutes two new genera of 
Cracide, viz. Salpiza and Chamepetes. As regards Salpiza, it 
seems that the group thus designated ought to be retained as typical 
Penelope, because Merrem’s Penelope jacupema certainly belongs to 
it ; so that Wagler’s Penelope corresponds to what we call (following 
Reichenbach) Pipile, and Wagler’s Salpiza to our Penelope. 
(1833.) Prince Max of Neuwied, in his well-known ‘ Beitrage zur 
Naturgeschichte von Brasilien,’ describes the four species of Cracide 
that he met with in the wood-region of South-eastern Brazil, in his 
usual full and accurate manner. These were (1) Craz rubrirostris 
(= C. carunculata), (2) Penelope superciliaris, (3) Penelope leu- 
coptera (= Pipile jacutinga), (4) Penelope araucuan (= Ortalida 
albiventris). 
(1835.) Bennett, in the second volume of the ‘Gardens and 
Menagerie of the Zoological Society,’ gives articles with woodcut 
illustrations on the following species of this group :—
