Harrison, Esq. Of Parliament-street, Westminster, to whose liberality the Proprietor of this Museum is indebted for many of the rare produc- tions of New Holland: it was received from Port Jackson, and the only one known to have been killed at the colony. - ' " ':(*( :'! lit*' ' TOUCANS (RAMPHASTOS). This Case contains twelve of these highly singular birds, among which are the following : White-throated Toucan (Ramphastos Toco). The bill of this curious bird is of a most uncommon size, being ne...arly as large as the whole body, which F3 m*i?. -54 gives the bird somewhat the appearance of having thrust its head into the claw of a large lobster ; this extraordinary bill is seven inches and a half long, and seven in circumference ; it is extremely slight, and as thin as parchment. This bird, so formidable in ap- pearance, is quite harmless and gentle ; it feeds prin- cipally on pepper, which it devours very greedily, gorging itself in such a manner, that it voids it crude and inconcocted ; this, however, is no objection to the natives using it again.
