SCREAMER. 2 i 



of a dull yellow : claws brown ; the hind toe placed high up, fo 

 as not to touch the ground in walking. 



This bird inhabits Brafil. Linnaus makes it to belong to the Place and 

 Screamer genus, perhaps from its cry, for it is faid to be heard 

 far ofF, and is not unlike that of an hen Turkey. None of our later 

 writers feem to have feen it, all of them relying on Marcgrave 

 both for defcription and figure *. It is faid to feed on the fame 

 food as the Heron tribe : the flefli is good, and the bird by fome 

 kept tame. -
