Our singular genus 



Temnoris (olim Suthora), 



and which name, if objected to, may give place to Hemirhynchus , is 

 I think a Parian form, being much allied to the small long-tailed Tits. 

 It seems however to group well with our Heteromorpha and Conostoma 

 and Gould's Paradoxornis, and the whole may perhaps fall into the 

 Glaucopince. There are two species of Suthora confounded by me 

 under the name of nipalensis ; I now erase that name, and substitute 

 atrifrons B.nd fulvifrons, thus : 



T. atrifrons, mihi. — General colour bright rusty, palest on the 

 belly and vent, brightest on the wings ; false wing black ; margins 

 of the prime alars albescent ; caudals and alars internally blackish, 

 and apertly so towards their tips ; head saturate slaty, margined late- 

 rally and in front by a darker zone, and passing into diluted slaty, 

 mixed with rusty on the sides of the neck ; chin transversely barred 

 black ; cheeks albescent ; bill dusky, with a bluish base ; legs sordid 

 grey. Length, 4J inches ; bill, less ^ ; tail, 2^ ; wing, l|-§- ; tarse, | ; 

 central toe and nail, ^ ; hind, |. 



T. fulvifrons, mihi. — General hue of the preceding, but the head 

 and neck concolorous with the back; the cheeks not whitened, 

 the chin unbarred, and the size larger; bill paler or fleshy, with a 

 dusky ridge. Length, 4| inches ; bill, ^ ; tail, 2^ ; wing, 2^ ; 

 tarse, ^ ; central toe and nail, ^ ; hind, -j^. 



MuSCICAPINiE. 



Genus Chelidorynx, mihi. 



General structure of Rhipidura, but the bill very short and Crypto- 

 lopho-hirundine, being as broad as long from the forehead and 

 very slightly armed at the tip ; rictal bristles long, as in Rhipidura ; 

 nares advanced, lateral, elliptic, and shaded above by a membrane ; 

 tail rigid, with wedged tips to the plumes, smaller and less rounded 

 than in Rhipidura. 



Type, Ch. chrysoschistos, mihi. — Above slaty, with a greenish 

 smear ; below bright yellow ; wings and tail dusky ; shafts of the 

 caudals whitened ; ears, lores and orbits black. Length, 4 J inches ; 

 bill to gape, f ; tail, 2J ; wing less 2^ ; tarse, -^ ; central toe and 

 nail, -j^ ; hind, ■^, Weight \ oz. Inhabits the central hilly region 

 and great valley, on skirts of woods, among shrubs and low trees ; 

 very lively and shows itself much ; solitary or in pairs. Stomach 

 distinctly muscular; diet small insects.
