Group I. COLIOMOEPH^. 



Fam. V. PRIONOPID^. (Vol. iii. p. 270.) 



In the course of the examination of the families described in the 

 present volume, I have come to the conclusion that two genera at 

 least should belong to the Prionopidaj, and not to the families in 

 which they are generally placed. These are the genera Cochoa and 

 Phceornis, the fonner placed near NilUiva (Muscicapidae), and the 

 latter in Eoiisahria (Laniidae) by the late Mr. G. E. Gray. 



The genus Cochoa must be inserted immediately after OralUna 

 (Cat. B. iii. p. 212) and between that genus and Tejihrodornis ; and 

 the key on p. 270 must be modified as follows : — 



«. Distance between the primaries and the secondaries 

 gi-eater than the length of the tarsus. 

 a'. Wing short or moderate, falling short of the tip of 

 the tail by more than the length of the culmen ; no 

 eye-wattle. 

 a". Tail square or slightly rounded, shorter than the 

 wing. 

 a'". First primary moderate ; second primary longer 

 than the secondaries. 

 or*. Bill narrow, measuring at gape less than the 



middle toe without claw Gkallina. 



h*. Rill broader, measuring at gape as much as 



middle toe without claw Cochoa. 



The following will be the synonj-my and description necessary to 

 add in the <'ase of the last-named genus : —
