Another extremely strikingly colored bird is the Cuban Trogan, which 
htto the top of the head metallic purple# the entire back r tellic green# 
the under parts pale gray* & little lighter on the throat and the posterior 
belly sad the under tail concrete scarlet, the primaries of the wing and 
part of the secondaries are marked by white bare* The outer tail feathers 
are also tipped with broad beads of white » the whole giving the bird a 
strikingly brilliant coloration. The Trogan is rather inclined to affect 
thickets and It is only new and then that in travelling along an unfrequented 
path or along a stream that one sees these birds in the open, a brilliant 
■mark when the sun-light plays upon their plumage. Here again the note l©«L€s 
one to the bird. This call suggesting our northern Cuckoos*
