Ard. nigra, L.; Enl. 3993 and the young, Frisch, 197; Naum. 
23, f. 32. (The Black Stork.) Blackish, with purple reflec- 
tions; belly, white. Haunts solitary marshes, and builds in 
forests.(1) 
Among various species we may distinguish, 
The Bare-necked Storks, 
Which have a thicker beak than the others, but one composed of 
a light substance; and among them 
The Pouched Storks, Ard. dubia, Gm.—Ard. algala, Lat. 
Which have an appendage under the middle of the throat, resem- 
bling a a thick sausage, and from under whose wings are procured 
the feathers forming those light plumes called by the French, Ma- 
rabous. They are the largest birds of the genus; their belly is white, 
and their mantle a bronze-black. There are two species, 
Cic. marabou, Tem., Col. 300, from Senegal, with a uniform 
mantle, and Cic. argala, Tem., Col. 301, from.India, whose 
“wing-coverts are edged with white. By means of their broad 
bill, they are enabled to capture birds on the wing.(2)

The Jabirus, separated from Ardea by Linnzus, are closely allied to 
the Storks, and much more so than the latter are to the true Herons; 
the moderate opening of their beak, the nostrils, the reticulated 
envelope of the tarsi, and the extent of the membranes between the 
‘toes are the same as in the Storks; their mode of life is also similar. 
Their peculiar character consists in a beak slightly curved upwards 
_ hear the extremity. 
Myct. americana, L.3(3) Enl. 817 (The American Jabiru), 
(1) To this genus also belongs the Maguari, or American Stork, (4. maguari) 
Vieill. Galer. 254; and Spix, LXXXIX, under the wrong name of Ciconia jubura, 
which, with the exception of its ash coloured beak, differs but little from our 
White Stork;—the little C. noire de Nubie (Cie. Abdimii, Lichtenst.) Ruppel. 8;— 
the C. violette (C. leucocephala, Gm.) Enl. 906. 
(2) Add the Cigogne chevelue (C. capillata,T.), Col. 312. 
(3) Vowyouyou in Cayenne; Azaiai in Paraguay, Collier rouge, &c. Barrere has 
confounded it with the .2merican Ostrich, which has caused the name of Touyouyou, 
or Touyou, to be transferred to that bird by Brisson and by Puffon. 
Mycteria, a name derived by Linnzus from wuxrnp, nose, proboscis, on account 
of its large beak.
