170 CARUNCULATED CURASSOW. 



black : the sides of the head and top of the neck 

 are barred with black and white: the whole of 

 the upper part of the plumage, as well as the 

 tail-feathers, are striated with broad transverse 

 red and white bands ; which are slightly margined 

 on each side with a line of black : the tail is 

 tipped with white : as the bird increases in age 

 these bands disappear ; and at the first moult the 

 feathers of the crest begin to twist and curl, and 

 the transverse bands are greatly reduced in num- 

 ber ; and at the time of the second moult, they 

 are entirely obliterated. 



This bird will breed with C. alector, and pro- 

 duces an infinity of mules. It is a native of South 

 America.
