8— EYE-BROW GUAN. 



SIZE of a small Hen Turkey. Bill dusky, shaped as in our 

 common poultry, and a trifle bending downwards ; nostrils pervious; 

 feathers of the crown and hindhead somewhat elongated, and incline 

 upwards; plumage in general dusky brown ; over the eye a white 

 streak, passing some way down on the neck on each side; chin, and 

 neck before, as far as the breast, bare of feathers, and yellow orange, 

 with here and there a few hairs ; several of the feathers of the sides 

 of the neck before, also on the breast, and wing coverts, with whitish 

 margins; the tail about one-third of the length of the bird, cuneiform ; 

 legs stout and scaly, not unlike those of a Turkey, but shorter, and 

 the claws more hooked. 



The female is smaller, and paler, with more undulations of white 

 among the feathers; round the eye not covered with feathers; throat 

 bare and reddish as in the male ; and the feathers of the head less 

 elongated. 



Inhabits South America ; and seems to be very similar to, if not 

 the same as the last described. — General Davies.
