 must be allowed that in Schainicola the bill is shorter and 

 stronj^er, the tarsi longer, and the feet larger, so that there 

 are, perhaps, suffieieiit grounds for maintaining the genus 

 Ererniornis for the Australian representative of this group. 



One of the most remarkable features in Kre/niorni.<s (whieh, 

 however, it shares with ScltUifiAcola) is the enormous length 

 of the liudf-r full-eoverts, some of \vl)ieh extend beyond

the extremity of the outer pair of rectrices. They carrv 

 a broad pale band at their ends, as shown in the aeeom- 

 panying figure ^fig. 19;. The rectrices are ten in number, a>s 

 in most of the other Bradypterine Sylvians*. The upper 

 tail-coverts, as will be seen by the coloured figure, are also 

 much elongated, but this is a common feature in th(; 

 Bradypterines. 



The figure is taken from a specimen obtained by Mr. Carter 

 at Point Cloates on February 20, 1902, and forwarded 



* I agree with Dr. Sharpe (Cat. B. vii. p. 93) that the Bra/lypteri 

 are allied to the Reed-^^'arble^3, and, should be placed among the 

 Sylviana.
