  Birds - Emeus And Cassowaries
The Casuariiformes embrace two families, the Dromaeidae, or Emeus, and the Casuariidae, or Cassowaries, each with a single living genus.' The Emeus are distinguished by their larger size, a feathered neck and head, by a broad bill, and the absence of a casque or helmet on the head.
The bill has the culmen at the base elevated and sloping to the tip, which overlaps that of the lower mandible; the oblong-oval nostrils are placed in a large membranous groove.
The second family (Casuariidae) is distinguished by the smaller size, a long compressed and keeled bill, with the suboval nostrils in the middle of a broad membranous groove, while the head is ornamented by an elaborate bony helmet.
