 This genus is allied to the former, but it differs in the compa- 

 rative straightness of the bill and its more gradual tapering to 

 the point ; it is also destitute of the horny covering of the nares. 

 It holds an immediate place between Pomatorliinus and Necta- 

 rinia. In the situation of the nares it agrees with the latter, but 

 the aperture is much larger and of a different form. The eleva- 

 tion of the tarsi constitutes a peculiar character.
