Size large. St. Thomas. Only the type, a very large dried skin, known; not .noen by ua. It is evident that Scarim gtiaoamaia Cuvier cV Valenciennes, the "Grand Scare aux niachiores bleus," with 3 to 6 posterior canines, can not be the original Scanis guacamaia of Cuvier, Avhich has no canines at all. No writer has examined any other specimens referable to the guavamaia of Valemtienncs, but Poey has given to these descriptions the nanw Scarua 2yleianua, which the Hpecics must keep if it be leally valid.
