BIEDS OF BRITISH GUIANA. 



■ The only record of the Umbrella-bird that I have been able to 

 find in British Guiana is that o£ Schomburgk. 



Breeding-season. Unknown in British Guiana. 



Nest. Unrecorded in British Guiana. 



Eggs. Undescribed from British Guiana. 



Range in British Guiana. Only recorded by Schomburgk. 



Extralimital Range. Venezuela, Colombia, Eucador, Peru, 

 Bolivia, Brazil.

According to Schomburgk (Reis. Guian. iii. p. 691) this species 

 is only a straggler in British Guiana. He only received one 

 specimen during his stay in the colony. > 



Genus CALVIPRONS Daud. 



Galvifrons Daudin, Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, iii. p. 146, 1804. 

 Type O. calvus (Gmel.). 



Pig. 124. — Galvifrons calvus. 



This monotypic genus is easily distinguished by having the 

 upper portion of the head unfeathered, in having long wings, short 

 tail, strong feet, sharply curved claws, and a peculiar colour of 

 plumage. Coloration : male and female similar.
