THE TROGONS. 



Group of Trogons. 



The Trogons constitute a family of birds which are to be found only in the hotter parts of India and' 

 America. In our engraving, on the topmost branch, are perched a pair, male and female, of the 

 Resplendent Trogons, which is found in the dense forests of southern Mexico. The middle bird, on the 

 left, is the Pavonine Trogon, a native of South America. The lower figure, on the left, is Piard's Trogon, 

 which belongs to India; and that on the right, is the Trogon Jemnarus, an inhabitant of Cuba. The 

 Trogon is a solitary bird, and early in the morning, or late in the afternoon, may be observed sitting, singly 

 or in pairs upon the trees, with tails outspread and drooping, watching for insects.
