TOUCAN. 289 



the rest of the under parts pale yellow; quills blackish, edged out- 

 wardly with dull green ; tail the same, cuneiform ; the two middle 

 feathers four inches and a half long, and exceed the outer ones by 

 two inches and a half, beneath ash-colour; the wings reach only 

 to the base ; legs lead-colour. 



The female has the bill much like that of the male, but is only 

 two inches and three quarters long ; the head, throat, and neck 

 before fine deep chestnut, which in the male are black, and separated 

 from the sulphur-colour by a small transverse black band ; otherwise 

 like the male. 



Inhabits Cayenne. 



10— SMOOTH-BILLED TOUCAN. 



Ramphastos glaber, Lid. Orn. i. 138. 



Smooth-billed Toucan, Gen. Syn. Sup. p. 67. Shaiv's Zool. viii. 375. 



SIZE of the Green Toucan ; length twelve inches. Bill one inch 

 and three quarters long, and one inch thick at the base ; the upper 

 mandible yellowish brown, the lower black, the edges not serrated ; 

 nostrils naked ; eyes placed in a bare skin ; the head and neck are 

 chestnut, the top of the head darkest ; upper parts of the body dark 

 green ; rump crimson ; lower part of the neck, the breast, and belly 

 pale greenish yellow : thighs green, dusky within ; legs brown. 



I have seen two of these from Cayenne ; they bear much resem- 

 blance to the females of the Green Toucan, and might be placed as 

 varieties of that bird, did not the total want of serratures, as well as 

 the size, forbid the supposition.
