170 Dr. Horsfield's Systematic Arrangement 



Spec. 2. Dicceum flavum mihi. 



D. olivaceo-flavum, subtus flavum, remigibus rectricibusque mar- 

 ginibus exterioribus exceptis perfuscis. 



Longitudo 4 poll. 



Gen. 38. Eurylaimus. 



Rostrum capite brevius, validum, depressum, basi latissimum, 

 postice dilatato-ampliatum, margine angusto intracto. Rictus 

 amplissimus. Maxilla culmine obsolete carinato apice abrupte 

 adunco, emarginato, tomiis verticalibus. Mandibula basi recta 

 ad apicem maxilla congruenter curvata. Nares basales, subro- 

 tundae, apertae, omnino nuda3. Pedes congrui, gressorii. Di- 

 giti compressi, medius fere longitudine tarsi, hallux robustus. 

 AIce cauda breviores. Rectrices 12. 



The distinguishing characters of this genus are a broad, de- 

 pressed, cuneated beak (passing backwards into a narrow in- 

 curved margin, which extends beneath the eyes and forms an 

 excessively wide throat) and prominent, erect, vertical cutting 

 edges (tomia), associated with gressorial feet. In these characters, 

 and also in the nakedness of the nostrils, it differs essentially from 

 Todus platyrhynchos, which is arranged among the Dentirostres 

 (Sylviadce Leach) by M. Cuvier. It resembles Todus viridis (the 

 only species of the genus known at present, Temm.) in the gres- 

 sorial feet, but differs essentially from it in the form of the bill, 

 disposition of the nares, &c. 



Spec. 1. Eurylaimus Javanicus mihi. 



J5. capite toto corporeque infra vinaceis, dorso absque perfus- 

 cis flavo variis,' cauda atra fascia apicali alba. 



Longitudo 11 poll.
