l&it Mr. Swainson on two new Genera of Birds. 

 2. Drymophila longipes. 

 Long legged Ant-Thrush. 



D, supra rufa; genis ctnereis ; jugulo pectoreque nigris ; corpora 



albo; tar sis longis^ pallidis. 

 Above rufous ; sides of the crown cinereous ; throat and breast 



black ; body white ; legs elongated, pale. 



Description, 



Rather larger in size than a Lark. Bill black. The whole of 

 the upper plumage^ including the wings and tail, is bright rufous ; 

 but the crown is more dusky, and is margined above the e^es and 

 ears by a broad and clear cinereous stripe. The^ow^ is of an ob- 

 scure cinereous, with the shafts of the feathers black, rigid, and 

 shining. The throat and breast are deep black, and this colour 

 spreads over the sides of the head and the ear feathers ; the rest 

 of the under plumage is white, but the Jlanks and under tail 

 covers are ferruginous. The wings are short, feeble, and much 

 rounded ; the tail also is rounded, rather short, and the feathers 

 narrow, the colour of both is rufous. Tarsi pale, and very long. 



Total length, 6 \; bill, ^%; wings, 2 |; tail, 2 \; (the outer 

 feather ^^ shorter,) tarsi, 1 f^» 



Obs, I have never seen more than one specimen of this ex- 

 tremely rare species. It was brought from some part of Brazil, 

 ^I was told from Rio de Janeiro,) and is now in my collection, 



3. Drymophila trifasciata. 

 White shouldered Ant-Thrush. 



D. atra ; scapularibusy inter scapular ibus^ tectriciumque fasciis 2 



niveis. 

 Black; shoulder covers, interscapulars, and two bands on the 



wing covers snowy. 



Description, 



Somewhat larger than the last ; but the bill is a tenth of an inch 

 shorter. The ground colour of the zohole plumage^ both above and 

 beneath, is deep and uniform black. A broad band of snowy white
