seen so far north. The glossy ibis ({Plegadis
autumnalis}), which is widely distributed both in the
Old World and the New, has the head and neck feathered,
except between the eyes and bill; the scarlet ibis
(Guara rubra) and the white ibis (Guara alba)
inhabit the West Indies and South America, and are
