LIVING IN THE SOCIETY'S GARDENS. 545 
This specimen, as will be seen by the figure of it, is not very different from the 
former, but has more white on the under surface, the white cross markings being 
continued all over the breast and chest up to the chin. The lower belly and vent are 
also slightly tinged with fawn-colour. 
The sex was ascertained by Prof. Garrod, on dissection, to be female, as in the former 
specimen ; so that we are still ignorant of the male of this species.

In July last (1877), we obtained our first living example of this rare bird, which was 
said to have been brought down from the Upper Amazons. As will be seen by Mr. Smit’s 
figure (Pl. XCIV.), taken from the living bird, the colour of the naked skin round 
the eye was incorrectly given in the former plate (vol. ix. Pl. L.). The upper part of 
it, above and in front of the eye, instead of being yellow, like the lower portion, is of a 
bright yellow. The colour of the legs is pale flesh-colour in the living bird. 
[There was a specimen of this Curassow living in the Jardin des Plantes at Paris, 
June 1879, which was similarly coloured. |

Through the kindness of Prof. Reinhardt I am able to add to my paper on the 
Curassows, read in June last, a figure of the fine new species of M/tua which he has 
lately described from a specimen formerly living in the Zoological Gardens of 
Copenhagen. In 1876 Prof. Reinhardt first called my attention to this Curassow, 
which had been received in April of that year from the Danish Consul at Bahia. The 
bird having died at the end of 1878, was presented to the Museum of the University. 
It was ascertained by dissection to be a female, and was necessarily quite adult, 
having been nearly three years in captivity. The male would probably not be 
different in colour, the sexes being alike in the two other species of Mitua. 
Unfortunately the exact locality of this Curassow could not be ascertained. It is 
not likely that it was from the immediate vicinity of Bahia, as that is one of the
