Fig. 1. — Psarisomus dalhousm and nest (from Hodgson's drawing). 



Order II. EURYL^MI. 



Palate aegithognathous (Vol. I, p. 4). The deep plantar tendons 

 differ from those of the Passeres in the flexor longus hallucis being 

 connected by a vinculum with the Jiexor profundus digitorum, as 

 shown in the accompanying figure (fig. 2). Syrinx mesomyodian 

 (Vol. I, p. 6) and ohgomyodian as in Pittidce (Forbes, P. Z, S. 

 1880, p. 384). The sternum, as in the Passeres, has but one notch 

 on each side of the hinder border (Sclater, Ibis, 1872, p. 179, also 

 p. 370), but the manubrium sterni (spina externa) is unforked, as 

 in most non-Passerine birds. Oil-gland present but nude.
