This Curassow is easily distinguishable by its red bill, and has 
therefore been less often confounded with other species than most 
of its congeners. Burmeister, however, has united it to Crar blu- 
menbachii of Spix, supposing that Spix’s figure (Av. Bras. ii. t. 64) 
may represent the female of the present bird. This we cannot agree 
to. Spix’s plate obviously represents the female of C. glodicera, or 
of some allied species of which we do not yet know the male. If his 
locality (Rio) be correct, the latter is probably the case.

Mr. Fraser first described this Curassow, which may be readily 
known by its densely feathered lores and blue wattles, from a spe- 
cimen living in the aviaries at Knowsley in 1850. It is, however, 
obvious that the bird described by him as the female of C. alderti is 
not the true female of this species, but that of Crazr globicera. 
Craz alberti is now not unfrequently brought alive to this country. 
There have been of late years several males in the Society’s Gardens ; 
and at the present time there is one female. Its correct habitat has
