The Bellhird.

The most remarkable thing in CON
nection with the bellbird is its power
ful voice. 1t utters a clear metallic
note that can be heard at a distance of
three miles. Its noise is like that pro-
duced by blacksmith striking his an
vii Sometimes it repeats its notes in
quick succession. sometimes at fairly
long intervals. There is no mistake
about the voice of this bird; it is loud
and piercing and would be heard
above the din produced by every in
mate of the zoo raising its voice at
once.
Except for space of naked skin on
the throat and around the eyes. which
during the breeding season is of green
color, this bird is pure white. The
contrast between the sexes in the bell
birds is extreme. for, while the male is
pure white, the female is brownisl
green. Darwin refers to the bellbirC
when he points out that white is ;
very rare color in terrestrial species o
moderate size and inoffensive habits.
