TUCANA. The Toucan.

History. Added by Bayer in 1604.

Influence. It is said to give pride but gentleness, unselfishness, activity and kindness. ^[1]

Allen

Tucana, the Toucan, was published by Bayer under our English name,​ but some one has Latinized it in ornithologists’ style as we now see it. The Chinese translated the original word, given to them by the Jesuits, as Neaou Chuy, the Beak Bird, very appropriate to a creature that is almost all beak.

Tucana lies immediately south of Phoenix, bordering on the south polar Octans, its tail close to the bright Achernar of Eridanus, and marks the crossing of the equinoctial colure and the antarctic circle.

Gould assigned to it 81 naked-eye stars, from 2.8 to the 7th magnitudes. ^[1]
