 Crax globicera, Bates, Naturalist on the river Amazons, ii. p. 113. 



Nitenti-nigra : ventre imo crissoque albis : crista nigra recurva : loris plumosis : cera 

 tuberculata et mandibula utrinque ad basin carunculata flavis : rostri apice nigro : 

 ■pedibus rubris : long, tota 36, alse 16, caudse 14-5, tarsi 4-4. Fem. mari similis, sed 

 tuberculo et carunculis rostri nullis et ventre fulvo diversa. 



Hab. Upper Amazons {Spix) ; Pebas (Cccstelneau and Deville) ; Kio -Napo (mus. 

 G. N. L.). 



The well-developed yeUow caruncles at the base of the mandible distinguish this 

 species from all its allies except C. dmtbentoni, in which the tail is broadly tipped with 

 white. I have only seen one female of this species ; it agrees with Spix's figure and 

 description. The variation of the sexes in this bird corresponds to that which obtains 

 in Crax carvmculata, which has likewise conspicuous caruncles on the base of the bill. 

 In the latter case, however, the caruncles are red instead of yellow. 



I have not yet met with living specimens of this bird. The figures are taken from 

 skins in the collection of Mr. G. N. Lawrence of New York, whom I have to thank 

 most sincerely for the loan of them. They were obtained on the Kio Napo.
