. The specimen of this species in the Society's collection is in 
very indifferent condition, and the upper mandible has unfortu- 
nately been mutilated. We cannot therefore refer it with cer- 
tainty to the present genus. From what we can judge however 
of the bill, it accords with that of the type of Falcunculus, with 
the exception of the notch being less strongly marked. In the 
characters of the wings, tail, and ¢arsi, it agrees very accurately 
with the present genus. | 
This bird was presented to the Society by Mr. Brown, and was 
procured by that gentleman at Kent's Group, December 1803.
