 and seventh;" "wings quite pointed." "Bill rather stout and some- 

 what Thrush-like;" "the lower mandible is rather deeper and stouter"

 " gonys about two-fifths the lower edge of lower mandible." " Frontal 

 and rictal bristles well developed. Feet short; tarsus- about equal to 

 middle toe." "Tail eraarginated and still more rounded." (Baird, Eev.

Eemarks. — As I have not had the opportunity of examining any 

 specimen, I have nothing to add to Professor Baird's description (?. c), 

 of which I have given extracts above, showing the essential characters 

 in the same manner as are given the marks of the other genera here 

 defined and described. 



Although it may be admitted that there is some doubt as to the iden- 

 tification of the species of Lesson, belonging to his genus TurdamjieUs, 

 I think that this name is the same as Cklilopsis of Oabanis. 



The genus is only known to embrace two species, one of which is but 

 lately described, viz : Turdampelis leucogenys (Cab.), and TurdampeUs 

 gularis (Salvin & Godman), Ibis, 1882, p. 76.
