 also the feet dusky lead-colour. Skin of the neck loose ; trachea 

 dilated, and the voice very loud and remarkable." — A. W.

" Met with by me only in the wooded islands of Lower Rio Negro, 

 between Barra and the mouth of the Rio Brancho. Occurs again 

 on the banks of the River Uaupes, above the cataracts. It is also 

 found on the Upper Amazon near Ega (see Bates, Nat. on the 

 Amazon, ii. p. 283). I have described its habits in an article pub- 

 lished in the Society's ' Proceedings' for 1850, p. 206." — A. W.
