Horn, to the length of k of a foot. Yet not Bended up- 
ward, as in that of Boutins, but (landing horizontal 
It is fpongy behind, and hollow before 5 fo that it is very 
light, although fo big. The Bird defcribed by Bontius, and 
probably this alfo, breeds in Bantam and Molucca. 
The nether BEAK of the RHINOCEROS Bird. If 
we believe, faith Georg. de Sepibits, (a) the Reverend Fa- ( a) Mufe- 
thers, which are us d to go to the Indies ; the* Bill of this um Rorfiah 
Bird is a moft precious Antidote againft all manner of 
Poifons. For which caufe alfo , the Indian Kings pre- 
ferve it as a great Treafure , and account it a Royal 
The' HEAD of the CROWNED CROW Mr. Wfc 
lugbby pictures it. But I meet with the Defcription here- 
• of no where. Tis almoft a foot long. The Skull not above 
two inches and Hong, above two broad, and as high. The 
Bill likewife as broad. The nether Beak an inch and 2 
high, one forked Bone, in the ftiape of the 0s Hyoides in 
a Bird, hooked or bended downward, the edges indented 
like a Saw $ but with the points of the Teeth directed for-

one concamerated Bone, bended downwards, and Toothed 
as the other. To this and the Skull, grows a fquare horny- 
Crown, about fix inches long, three and * over, and one

Noftrils, which are about * of an inch wide, open between 
the Eye and the top of the Bill.

but forward or outward, plainly Ihews, that they ferve not, 
as they do in fome other Birds, to hold faft the Prey $■ but 
rather, for fome purpofe or other, to perform the life of a 
Saw.

They breed not only in Brafile, but alfo in Guajana, and 
other places. This Bill was fent from Peru. See the 
Defcription of the Bird in Mr. Willughbys Omithologia.
