LENGTH twelve inches. Bill one inch and a half long, broad, 

 and black at the base ; on the forehead a fleshy caruncle, two inches 

 long, hanging loosely over it, as in the Turkey Cock, and capable 

 of being erected quite upright; the whole plumage in the adult male 

 is pure white ; some adult birds, but in a less complete stage, have a 

 slight tinge of yellow on the rump, quills, and tail ; legs black. 



The female has the same frontal caruncle as the male; plumage 

 olive green, with a brownish tinge ; quills and tail darker; beneath, 

 as far as the breast, the same as above, but paler ; from thence to 

 the vent of a light colour, with a mixture of yellow, and a few 

 dusky markings. 



The young male, in its first feathers, very nearly resembles the 

 female. — Inhabits Cayenne, Brazil, and other parts of South America; 

 said to arrive at Surinam, with others of the Genus, and to feed on 

 the same fruits in concert ; makes the nest on tall trees, and lays 

 four greenish eggs : these birds are said to have so loud a voice, as 

 to be heard at the distance of half a league ; the notes composed of 

 two syllables, In, An, uttered in a drawling kind of tone, though 

 some have compared it, as in the Variegated Species, to the sound 

 of a bell.
