My dear Dr Müeller
The specimen which you have sent for the Museum of the Crax Alberti presents some remarkable dark variations of color apparently pointing to its being a hybrid with Crax alector. The only apparent cause of death was a very great enlargement of the liver.
I remain
My dear Dr Müeller &c
