LIVING IN THE SOCIETY’S GARDENS. 281 
The bird described by Herr v. Pelzeln as the female of his Crax mikani, seems to be 
the female of this species, judging from the figure of the specimen, with which de 
has kindly supplied me, as also from his accurate description.

As regards the preceding seven species of Craa, we are now acquainted with both 
sexes of each of them, and know the localities in which they occur in a state of nature. 
There remain some other dubious species, namely :— 
1. Crax PINIMA. 
Craz pinima, Pelzeln, Orn. Bras. pp. 287 et 341; Gray, Hand-l. ii. p. 253; Scl. et Saly. P. Z. S. 
1870, p. 518, et Nomencel. p. 135. 
Crax fasciolata, Spix, Av. Bras, ii. p. 48, t. 62a (?). 
Natterer obtained a single specimen of the bird described by Pelzeln as Crax pinima 
in the neighbourhood of Para, and, as stated by v. Pelzeln, had at first doubts as to its 
being a valid species. He remarks in his MS. that the Mutum pinima of Para, as it is - 
called there, does not differ from the Curassow of Cujabé and Paraguay (i. e. C. sclateri). 
Afterwards he appears to have changed his opinion, and to have designated the bird of 
Para C. pinima. On the whole I am inclined to believe that Crax pinimais founded on a 
female Craa sclateri. But I should be glad to be able to examine examples of both 
sexes of the Curassow of Para, in order to compare it with that of Mato Grosso and 
Paraguay, the range being rather extensive for one species of the genus. 
2. CRAX INCoMMODA. (Plate XLIX.) 
Crax incommoda, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 690, et Rev. Cat. Vert. p. 295. 
In 1872 I proposed to give the temporary designation of Craxr incommoda to the 
bird living in the Society’s Gardens, of which I now give a figure. As will be seen, it 
comes nearest to the female of Crax daubentoni, but is at once distinguishable by the 
narrow transverse white bars across the upper plumage, and the pale flesh-coloured legs. 
From the female of Crax sclateri (Pl. XLV.), which it likewise somewhat resembles, it is 
distinguishable by its larger size, white belly, barred thighs, black bill, and differently 
coloured legs.
