. The Cambridge natural history. Zoology. 184 TINAMIFORMES As will be seen from the following examples, the general coloration is rufous or slaty-brown, which may be relieved by buff, or barred with blackish above and even below; the under parts being often greyer, wdth whitish throat and belly. The sexes do not differ greatly, but the female is, if anything, the larger bird. Some six forms occur in Mexico, while of tlie remainder Tinamotis ingovfi extends the range to Southern Patagonia. The genus Tinamus has ten members, T. tao, of South America north of Bolivia and Brazil, being greyish-olive, with slaty breast and buff abdomen, wavy blackish markings on both surfaces, black primaries, black head and neck with white spots and bands on the sides, and still whiter throat. Of the thirty or more species of Crypturus, C. tatav/pa, extending from Peru and Bolivia to Brazil and Argentina, is plain chestnut-brown, with blackish crown, grey cheeks, neck, and breast, wdiitish throat and belly, buflish flanks with lilack crescentic bars, red beak, and pinkish feet. It haunts dense under- growth in forests, even near habitations, and frequently sits bent for- ward with its " tail " ex- panded over its back; its melody consists of several notes at dimin- ishing intervals, merg- ing into a hurried trill, which is terminated by a reiterated sound like "chororo"; its eggs are of a reddish chocolate- colour. Bhyncliotvs Tufescens of the same countries except Peru, the " Perdiz grande " of Argentina, which is represented in Bolivia by the similar B. macidicollis, is grey-brown, with blacker crown, rufous cheeks, neck, and breast, and chestnut primaries; the back being barred with whitish and black, and the flanks with brown and white. This somewhat solitarv bird threads. Fig. 42.—Great Tiimniou. Rliynchotvs rufescens..
