externo oblique versus basin producitur), corpore toto inferno fer- 

 rugineo, guld obscuriore. Rostrum atrum, pedes jlavescentes. 

 Seems to l3e a typical Cossypha, allied to C. reclamator (Vieill.), 

 with which it agrees in all essential characters. The specimen above 

 described is a male, and was procured at Clarence, Fernando Po. 



Total length 7f inches ; beak to gape 10 lines, to front 7 lines, 

 breadth 4 lines, height 2 j lines ; wing 4 inches 2 lines ; medial rec- 

 trices 3|^ inches, external 3 inches 4 lines ; tarsus 1 inch, middle toe 

 and claw 1 inch, hind ditto 8 lines, lateral toes equal. 



Mr. Fraser adds that this bird " feeds on the ground ; when sitting 

 quiet in a naked bush it is with difficulty to be discovered. Irides 

 hazel." 



Pycnonotin^. 



Andropadus latirostris, Strickl. A. corpore suprci olivaceo, re- 

 migibus fuscis, exths viridi-olivascente, intils albido, marginatis, 

 rectricibusfusco-brunneis, olivaceo limbatis ; corpore subtus olivas- 

 cente, lateribus menti, alee tectricibus infernis, et abdomine medio 

 stramineis. Rostrum corneum, marginibus pallidis, pedes ungues- 

 que pallescentes . Rostrum depressum, tomiorum dentibus obli- 

 qiiis 6 vel 7 utrinque ; illis maxillce distinctis, mandibulcB subob- 

 soletis. 

 In this species the beak is considerably depressed and formed like 

 that of a Muscicapa ; the teeth of the upper mandible are distinct and 

 regular, but disappear about the middle of the beak. The lower 

 mandible is also furnished with live or six serrations, but very low 

 and indistinct. The wing is much rounded, the fifth quill being- 

 longest and the rest graduated. The colour and texture of plumage 

 are much like that of the East Indian Pycnonotus flavirictus, Strickl. 

 (Ann. Nat. Hist., June 1844.) 



Total length 6| inches ; beak to gape 1 1 lines, to front 7 lines ; 

 breadth 4 lines, height 2y lines ; wing 3 J inches ; medial rectrices 

 3 inches ; external 2| inches ; tarsus J inch, middle toe and claw 8 

 lines, hind ditto 6 lines. 



The above description is taken from a specimen marked " female." 

 In two other specimens in which the sex is not indicated the dimen- 

 sions and plumage are the same, but the yellow streak on each side 

 of the chin is wanting, and the lower mandible wants the serrations, 

 and exhibits only a small subterminal notch. These are probably 

 younger individuals. 



Hab. Fernando Po ; June. 



Andropadus gracilirostris, Strickl. A. corpore toto suprci oli- 

 vaceo, remigibus primariis fuscis, extus olivascente, intixs pallide 

 ochraceo limbatis, corpore subtUs pallide olivaceo-cinerascente, 

 mento guldque albidis, abdomine medio crissoque pallide favescen- 

 tibus, alarum tectricibus infernis pallide ochraceis. Rostrum 

 pedesque corneo-fusci ; rostrum longiusculum, turdinmn, dentibus 

 maxillce duobus, mandibulce nullis. 

 This species differs from the former one in several points of struc- 

 ture ; the beak is considerably narrower at the base and more slender.
