544 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON THE CURASSOWS 
This near ally of C. alector was recently described from a pair of “ Bogota” skins in 
the Collection of Messrs. Salvin and Godman. As in that species, the female (Pl. XC. 
fig. 2) seems to be only distinguishable from the male by the slightly banded crest. 
I regret to say I have no further information to offer respecting this little-known 
bird. 
3. CRAX GLOBULOSA. (Plate XCI.) 
Crazx globulosa, Spix. Sel. Trans. Zool. Soe. ix. p. 279. 
On the 15th of October last we purchased, along with other birds, a Curassow, of 
which I exhibit a drawing (Pl. XCI.), said to have been obtained from the Amazons}. 
I have referred this bird provisionally to the female of Craa globulosa of Spix ; but 
it differs from Spix’s figure (Av. Bras. ii. t. 66), as likewise from the female of the 
same species which I formerly examined in Mr. Lawrence’s collection (cf. Trans. 
Zool. Soc. ix. p. 279), in having the whole bill black, and in possessing white 
markings to the crest, as in the female of Crax alector. 
This bird is still alive in the Gardens, though in bad plumage and with the toes 
defective, as is too often the case with these birds in captivity. The legs are red, the 
bare space round the eye dark bluish black ; the irides are light brown. 
4. CRAX VIRIDIROSTRIS. (Plate XCII.) 
Crax viridirostris, Sclater, Trans. Zool. Soc. ix. p. 282. 
Nitenti-nigra, ventre imo cum crisso et caudz apice albis; criste plumis brevibus, 
exstantibus, retroflexis ; rostri cera tumida et carunculis mandibule inferioris pallide 
viridescenti-flavis : long. tota 52:0, ale 15-0, caude 13-0, tarsi 4:5. 
I now exhibit the skin of the Curassow which I described under the above- 
mentioned name in my former paper. Unfortunately I have not access to a male 
example of Crax alberti to compare it with; but that is unquestionably its nearest 
ally, and it is possible that the change of the cere from blue into greenish-yellow 
may be an individual variation. 
5. Crax 1ncomMopa. (Plate XCIII.) 
Craz incommoda, Scl. Trans. Zool. Soe. ix. p. 281. 
On October 30th, 1873, we purchased, along with other South-American Mammals 
and birds, what appears to be a second example of the singular Curassow on which I 
bestowed the name above given. It lived until December last. Its skin, as likewise 
that of the former example, is now in the collection of Messrs. Salvin and Godman 
See Report of Z.S. for 1877, p. 38.
