belonging to the Genera Phytotoma, Indicator, Cursorius, &c. 91 
cies in honour of M. Le Vaillant, who first pointed out the cha- 
racteristic peculiarities of this group; and whose services in 
general to science have been of the highest importance.

The bill of this species, although agreeing in general charac- 
ters with those of the rest of the group, exhibits a decided dif- 
ference from all, in its shortness and thickness. In this.respect 
it has nearly the appearance of the Beefeater's bill, partially 
agreeing in the strong and angulated form so conspicuous in 
that genus. 
This analogical resemblance has induced me to confer on the 
species the name of Buphagoides.
