Piping Curassow, Lath, Pen. Pipile, Jacq. Beytr. 

 pi. 11.* 



The windpipe, at least in the first named of the 

 above species, descends under the skin to far behind 

 the posterior edge of the sternum, remounts again, 

 and returns to bend again and remount towards the 

 furca, by which it passes, as in common, to arrive at 

 the lungs.t 



One species is almost without a crest. 



Marail Turkey, Lath. Pen, Marail, Enl. 338, 

 VieiU. Galer. 198. 



Greenish-black, with a yellow belly ; appears to be 

 very distinct. The trachea in both sexes makes a 

 little handle at the top of the sternum before it 

 enters the chest.t 



* Temm. considers this the same as the Cumana Curassow.
