THE BEAUTIFUL TROGON.

The BEAUTIFUL TROGON (_Calurus Pharomacrus_ or _C. antisianus_)--(See

Coloured Plate XXV.)--is recognisable from the Peacock Trogon by a bunch

of hair-like feathers on the region of the beak, and by the inferior

length of the long feathers on the wing and tail. The coloration of the

plumage is almost identical, except that the tail-feathers are quite white

underneath, and the beak of a yellowish shade. The body is fourteen inches

long; the wing measures seven inches and a half, and the tail six inches

and a half. D'Orbigny discovered this bird in Bolivia, where it frequents

the vicinity of the rivers.
