narrowed near the middle; posterior margin nearly straight, indented
with two large fissures, narrowed at their exit; between the
junctions of the coracoids furnished with a bifid process; the
portion of the sternum to which the ribs are attached, continued
anteriorly beyond the junction of the coracoids; keel of moderate

arched, furnished with a flattened process, turned inwards at the
point it approaches the sternum.
Pelvis broad, and short, narrowest anteriorly, the os pubis and
ischium continued far backwards, beyond the junction of the caudal
vertebræ; ribs strong, and flattened; posterior process large;
scapula long, broadest near the extremity; legs of moderate
strength, the internal processes of the tibia large, and flattened;

Remarks:—The skeleton and soft parts of this bird very nearly resemble
those of the genus _Loxia_, but differ in their superior size, in having
the fissures on the posterior margin of the sternum not so deep, and in
the margin itself being straighter, the coracoids larger, and in having
the process at the end of the os furcatum approaching the sternum
smaller than in that genus. The ribs also are stronger.
TROCHILUS GIGAS. _Vieill._ (Male.)
Tongue bifid, each division pointed; hyoids very long, in their
position resembling those in the _Picidæ_; trachea of uniform
diameter; destitute of muscles of voice; bronchia very long;
œsophagus funnel-shaped, slightly contracted on approaching the
proventriculus, which is small, and scarcely perceptible; gizzard
small, moderately muscular, the inner coat slightly hardened, and
filled with the remains of insects; intestine largest near the
gizzard; I could not perceive a vestige of cæca.
Inches
Length of œsophagus, including proventriculus 1¾

Sternum with the keel very deep, its edge rounded, and projecting
anteriorly; posterior margin rounded, and destitute of indentation
or fissure; the ridges to which the pectoral muscles have their
attachment, large and prominent, the horizontal portion much
narrowed anteriorly, consequently the junctions of the coracoids are
very near together.
Pelvis short, very broad; os pubis long, curved upwards at the
extremities, projecting far downwards, and posteriorly beyond the
termination of the caudal vertebræ; the ischiatic foramen small, and
linear; femora placed far backwards; coracoids short, very strong,
their extremities much diverging; os furcatum short, slightly arched
near the extremities of the rami, which are far apart, furnished
with only a small process on its approach to the sternum; scapula
flattened, long, broadest near the extremity; humerus, radius, and
ulna short, the metacarpal bones longer than either; the former
furnished with ridges much elevated for the attachment of the
pectoral muscles; caudal and dorsal vertebræ with the transverse
processes long, and expanded; cranium of moderate strength, the
occipital portion indented with two furrows, which pass over the
vertex, and in which the hyoids lie; orbits large, divided by a
complete bony septum; the lachrymal bones large, causing an
expansion of the bill near the nostrils.

Remarks:—The skeleton of this bird does not differ in form from that of
_Trochilus pella_, figured at page 270 of the Cyclopædia of Anatomy and
Physiology. The whole of the group are more nearly allied to
fissirostral birds than any other.
TINOCHORUS RUMICIVORUS. _Eschsch._ (Male.)
Trachea of uniform diameter, furnished with one pair of
sterno-tracheal muscles, from which a few fibres descend on each
side to the upper rings of the bronchiæ; œsophagus of large diameter
to about half its length, where it is furnished with a craw, and
afterwards contracted to the proventriculus; the craw where it is
connected with the œsophagus is much contracted, afterwards it
expands into a large sac; proventriculus small; gizzard large, and
very muscular; the grinding surfaces hard, concave in the middle,
and furnished with longitudinal grooves in the concave part; the
intestinal canal is of moderate length, small next the gizzard,
largest at the entrance of the cæca, from whence it slightly tapers
to the cloaca, which is small; cæca long, of greatest diameter at
the opposite extremity to their entrance into the rectum; the
gizzard and œsophagus were filled with reeds, mixed with very small
pebbles; liver bilobed.
Length of œsophagus from glottis to gizzard 3 inch.

A second specimen, a female, did not differ, except in sex. Skeleton
light; bones in general thin.
Sternum broadest posteriorly, and indented on its posterior margin
with two large fissures; keel deep, its inferior edge rounded, much
scolloped out anteriorly; a moderate size bifid manubrial process
between the junction of the coracoids.
Pelvis broad, of moderate length, similar to that found among the
genus _Strepsilas_.
Os furcatum much arched, furnished with a small flattened process,
where the ligament unites it to the sternum; coracoid of moderate
length, strong, furnished with a large process externally near their
junction with the sternum; ribs flattened, posterior process long,
slightly curved, and narrow.

Remarks. The bill of this curious bird much resembles that of the genus
_Glareola_, but the soft skin covering the nostrils is more developed,
in which respect it resembles the quails, and other gallinaceous birds.
The structure of the tarsi, feet, and nails approach near to that of
_Strepsilas_, but differ in the latter being sharper, and in the scales
on the feet and tarsi being more apparent, which may, perhaps, have been
caused to a certain degree by the bird having been for a long while in
spirits.
The wing has precisely the same structure as in _Glareola_, and some of
the plovers.
The tail is more lengthened than among the plovers, but not more so than
in _Glareola praticola_, which species has, however, the tail forked,
but some of the same genus, as the last named bird, although it is not
so long in them, have it in the same shape as in _Tinochorus_,—as
_Glareola Australis_.
The structure of the digestive organs is altogether that of a
gallinaceous bird; the skeleton, however, agrees scarcely in any
particular with that order, approaching closely to that of the waders.
The sternum differs from any gallinaceous bird with which I am
acquainted, in wanting entirely the strong lateral process, and in the
fissures on the posterior margin being much smaller; the nearest
approach in form which I have been able to find, is that of _Machetes_,
from which, if it were not for the superior size of the latter, it could
scarcely be distinguished.
The pelvis agrees so perfectly with that of _Strepsilas interpres_, and
the _Charadriidæ_ in general, as not to require farther remark.
The remainder of the skeleton resembles both the plovers and sandpipers.
I much regret that I have never had an opportunity of dissecting a
specimen of _Glareola_, to which the genus, _Tinochorus_, appears
closely allied, and I believe that they will form a connecting link
between the orders _Grallatores_ and _Razores_.

Footnote 1:
I measured a specimen, which I killed there: it was from tip to tip of
wing, eight and a half feet; and from end of beak to end of tail four
feet.
Footnote 2:
I noticed that several hours before any of the Condors died, all the
lice with which they are infested, crawled to the outside feathers. I
was told, that this always happened.
