Inhabits South America. In the collection of Mr. Bullock is a 

 singular feather, full three feet in length, wholly most brilliant and 

 glossy green, similar to the back of the Red-bellied Curucui, the 

 webs loose, as in the feathers of a Peacock's train. Supposed to 

 belong to the tail of some species of Curucui from South America, 

 vet unknown.
