THE BLOOD-RE-L COCK OF THE ROCK, 
The Cocks of the Rock are near relations of the extraordinary Umbrella birds already illustrated in this work. There are three 
species, of which two are orange, black and grey (or brown); but the very rare form here illustrated has the greater part of its 
plumage of a blood-red, perhaps more brilliant than any other bird can show. The Blood-red Cock of the Rock (whose female is 
brown, tinged with orange), is confined in its distribution to Western Ecuador and S.W. Colombia. Examples of it are very rare 
in Museums. This picture has been painted from the specimen to be seen at Stuttgart.
