RARE SOUTH AMERICAN BIRD
When Birds Were Evolved
from Reptiles.

Specimens of the hoactzin, one OF
the most remarkable birds in the world.
are being prepared by Nelson r. Wood,
OF the Smithsonian institute, for the
pathological exhibit at St. Louis, says
Washington report
The bird is one with which people of
the United States are not familiar. 1t is
a native of Brazil and Guiana The bird
seems to be survival of the Jurasic
period, when birds were being evolved
from reptiles and mammals had not
made their appearance
The archaeOpetryx was perhaps one of
the first birds evolved from the reptiles
1t was contemporaneous with the phas-
colotherium, amphiterium and tricon-
don, three diminutive marsupials, resem-
bling the modern opossum. that also
branched off from the reptiles. The arch
aeopetryx had a tail, which, although it
bore feathers, was more like that of
lizard than that of a bird The wings
were relatively small and had three dig
its, each terminated with a claw 1t is
more than likely that this bird could not
only fly, but could also walk on all tours
and climb trees.
The archaeopetryx had toothed bill
The beak of the boactzn is denticulated
along the margin. The hoactzin is about
the size Of Porto Rican parrot The
eyes are surrounded by patches of bare
skin. and it has bristly lashes like those
Of the African hornbill. The head bears a
crest Of feathers. In color it is olive green
with narrow whitish bar on the wings
brown underparts and long tail tipped
with yellow Its breastbone is unlike that
of any living bird. The keel. which is
highly developed in the breastbone Of the
best flying birds. is cut away in front so
that the hoactzin flies poorly
The absence OF a keel to the breastbone
and the structure of the wshbone have
doubtless been the cause OF the bird de-
veloping an enormous crop. which. IN
like that Of other birds, is muscular and
seems to fill other functions than OF
store house for food.
Thestrongest thing about the bird how
ever. is that the young at the time they
are Matched have thumb. tipped with
claw, and the stories that the young
Of the hoactzin are able not only TO walk
on all fours, but also climb, mounting
the bush with the aid Of this claw, are
strictly correct
The hoactzin builds its nest in low
bushes along the banks of streams,
where it feeds on the wild srum. Feed
ing on this plant imparts to the bird an
intolerable musky smell
w, H. Bates states in his work The
Naturalist on the Amazon" that to him
the odor Of the hoactzin was like that
Of musk combined with wet hides,
while Devile said 1t smelled like a COW
stable. The hoactzin is thoroughly dis
liked by the people of Brazil and Guiana
on account Of its odor, it's mischievous,
prying habits and harsh, grating, hiss
ing voice.
