WHOOPING CRANE. 



CROWNED CRANE. 



foreign species of cranes, it is the one easiest to procure, 

 and the most satisfactory to keep in collections. It never 

 quarrels, it is very sociable in its habits, and thrives in 

 captivity. 



The Crowned Crane, (Balearica pavonina), also of Africa, 

 is, perhaps, the most beautiful of all living cranes. It is of 

 medium size, royally colored, and strikingly set off with a 

 conspicuous crown of stiff, quill-like feathers that stand as 

 «rect and regular as the aigret of an Indian prince.
