THE CARIAMA. 



The Adjutant. 



The Cariama. 



The Cariama is considered to be related to the waders, the gallinacious birds and the Ostriches. It is 



found in the mountain-plains of Brazil. It lives on lizards, insects, molluscous animals, and seeds. It is 



difficult to catch, running with such swiftness as to distance a fleet horse^ When caught, it is easily 

 domesticated. It lays two eggs, in a nest built of sticks. 



The Tiger Bittern is a native of Guiana. It is about thirty inches long. It lives in savannahs, fre- 

 quenting occasionally the banks of rivers. It resembles the common Bittern in appearance and voice. It 

 builds its nest upon the ground, and lays seven or eight roundish eggs.
