united to the middle toe to the last joint, or for ahout two thirds of its 

 length. 

 Several specimens from the Ogobai river. 



82. Xenocichla notata, (Cassin.) 



Trichophorus notatus, Cassin, Proc. Acad. Philada. 1856, p. 159. 

 From the Camma, and formerly from the Moonda and Muni rivers. Easily- 

 distinguished by the large yellow spot in front of the eye, which is the color 

 also of the under parts of the body, tinged with green on the breast and sides. 

 Upper parts yellowish olive green, not so dark as in the preceding. Tail olive 

 green, nearly the same as other upper parts, four outer feathers on each side, 

 with large pale yellow spots at their tips, under wing coverts pale yellow. To- 

 tal length about 7J inches, wing 3|, tail 3 inches. Outer toe united to the 

 middle for about half its length. Female smaller and with the bill shorter, 

 but with the colors very nearly as in the male. 



83. Xenocichla tricolor, (Cassin.) 



Trichophorus tricolor, Cassin, Proc. Acad. Philada. 1857, p. 33. 

 From the Camma and formerly from the Muni river. Smaller than either 

 of the preceding two species. Tail and its upper coverts dark chestnut, 

 slightly tinged with greenish, entire upper parts olive green, under parts green- 

 ish yellow, clearer on the throat and more shaded with green on the breast 

 and sides, exposed ends of secondaries having a tinge of rufous or chestnut 

 like the tail. Total length about 6| inches, wing 3, tail 3 inches. Outer toe 

 united to the middle slightly beyond the first joint. Female smaller than the 

 male but similar in colors. 



84. Hemixos serinus, (Verreaux.) 



Criniger serinus, Verr. Cab. Jour. iii. p. 105, (1855, March.) 

 Criniger xanthogaster, Cassin, Proc. Acad. Philada. 1855, p. 327 (April.) 

 Specimens from the Camma and formerly from the Moonda. This bird is 

 exactly the same genus to me as Criniger ictericus, Strickland, and another 

 species labelled in the Acad. Coll. " T. indicus, Ceylon." Sexes alike. 



85. Hemixos indicator, (Verreaux.) 



Criniger indicator, Verr. Cab. Jour. iii. p. 105, (March, 1855.) 

 Trichophorus leucurus, Cassin, Proc. Acad. Philad. 1855, p. 328, (April.) 

 This is a very bad Hemixos, but a worse Criniger or Trichophorus. It is a 

 heavy and strong bird with the bill wider and thicker and the tail shorter 

 than in either of the genera mentioned. It is for me the type of a generic or 

 sub-generic group approaching Cossypha and Geocichla in form, but different 

 in color. 

 Specimens from the Camma. 



86. Andropadus latirostris, Strickland. 



Anclropadus latirostris, Strick. Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1844, p. 100. 



Frazer, Zool. Typ. Birds, pi. 35, (young.) 



Bill and feet pale colored, and under mandible almost entirely white in 

 both adult and young. Under wing coverts yellowish olive, fifth quill long- 

 est. Throat with a line on each side of pale yellow, very distinct in the adult, 

 and generally to be traced in the young ; entire upper parts dark olive, upper 

 tail coverts and tail greenish brown. Middle of throat and breast olive, abdo- 

 men pale greenish yellow, tibia? and under tail coverts reddish olive. Quills 

 edged internally with dull white. Bill wide, depressed, serrations in upper 

 mandible distinct. The young bird frequently has the wings tinged with 

 the same reddish brown as on the tail. Total length 6| to 7 inches. 



Specimens from the Camma and formerly from the Muni. 



87. Andropadus gracilirostris, Strickland. 



Andropadus gracilirostris, Strick. Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1844, p. 100. 

 Bill and feet always dark horn color. Under wing coverts and inner edges 

 of quills dark ochre yellow. Entire upper parts yellowish olive, under parts
