for turtles, while here may be heard
the soft. long-drawn whistle Of the

Among the closely-interwoven crowns
OF the trees, many OF them more than
hundred feet high, the hunter some
times spies for the first time that rare
and singular prize, the umbrella bird, q

out In tho form of q fringed sunshade

! A queer ornament, like a pclerinc. Is
also suspended from the neck, formed
by thick pad of glossy feathers, which
grow on along, heshy lobe. This lobe
Is connected with an unusual develop
ment of the vocal organs, to which tho
bird owes its singularly deep, loud and
long-sustained fluty note.
The Indian name OF this strange
creature Is urid-Dimbeu. or fifc bird, in
allusion to tho tone OF It's voice. and
nsinbs,i Is the Indian name for rude

IL Is great treat to hear It's perform
ance. Tho bird draws itself up on its
perch, spreads widely tho umbrella
formed crest, dilates ard waves is

vent TO its loud, piping note, bows It's
head slowly forward.
The female has only the rudiments Of
the crest and lapel, and Is not, on the
whole. as fine-loolxing bird as the male.
