542 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON THE CRACIDZ. [June 9; 
Of the eleven Central-American species of Cracida, only one (Pene- 
lope cristata) is also met with south of Panama. 
2. New Granada, 7. e. the forests bordering the Magdalena river 
and its confluents and the northern littoral of the republic. 
Of the Cracid@ of this district we have, probably, yet more to learn; 
but it is certainly rich in this as in other forms of tropical forest-life. 
The only Crax we have yet seen from the interior is Crax alberti. 
Bogoté collections also occasionally contain specimens of Stegnolema 
montagnii, Penelope cristata, and P. argyrotis, Pipile cumanensis, 
Aburria carunculata, Chamepetes goudoti, and Ortalida guttata. 
Penelope greeyi and Ortalida garrula are, as far as we know, re- 
stricted to the lower portion of the valley of the Magdalena*. 
3. Forest-region of Western Ecuador. 
From Western Ecuador we as yet know of only two species of 
Cracide—Chamepetes goudoti and Ortalida erythroptera. It is 
quite evident that more remain to be discovered. 
4. Northern littoral forests of Venezuela, Trinidad, and Tobago. 
Crax daubentoni appears to represent its genus in the littoral 
wood-region of Venezuela, whence we have also seen specimens of 
three other species of Cracide, viz. Penelope argyrotis, Pipile euma- 
nensis, and Ortalida ruficauda. Pipile cumanensis also occurs in 
Trinidad ; and as Ortalida ruficauda is found in Tobago, it doubtless 
also inhabits the intervening island. 
5. Guiana. 
Guiana and the adjacent portion of the Amazonian basin as far as 
the Rio Negro is prolific in Cracide. The Crawx is C. alector. 
Nothocrax urumutum is found on the islands of the Rio Negro. 
The two species of Mitua are both recorded by Schomburgk as 
found in British Guiana; and Natterer obtained M. tomentosa on 
the Rio Brancho. Pauwi galeata is a denizen of the forests of the 
Rio Casiquiari and Upper Orinoco. Penelope marail is the only 
species of the genus Penelope of the occurrence of which in this 
district we have certain evidence; and Ortalida motmot is likewise 
the single representative of its kind in this part of the world. Pipile 
cumanensis is also found in British Guiana. 
6. Lower Amazonia up to Rio Madeira. 
The mysterious Craw pinima is the only representative of its genus 
hitherto recorded from near Para. Mitua tuberosa was found by 
Natterer in the same district. Penelope pileata is the only Lower- 
Amazonian species of Penelope of which we can speak with certainty. 
Pipile cujubi and Ortalida araucuan in like manner are the sole repre- 
sentatives of their respective genera in this district. Altogether there 
are certainly five species of Cracide inhabiting Lower Amazonia, 
and one (P. jacupeba) is uncertain. 
7. Upper Amazonia, embracing the eastern slopes of New Gra- 
nada, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. 
In Upper Amazonia the recorded number of Cracide is larger, 
embracing no less than eight species. Crax globulosa is the Crax 
* To these must be now added Pauwi galeata (vide anted, p. 520) and Orta- 
“ida ruficrissa (vide antead, p. 538).
