IIT TIMOB-LAUT. 359 



Heteranax. Sharpc, gen.nov. (erepoff - alter, ava^~xQx) is closely allied 

 to the Australian genus Siztira ; but the bill is narrower, less flattened 

 and strongly compressed, so that it is higher than broad at the notrils.

There are 14 specimens of this apparently new and very disinu't 

 Bhipidura in the collection, from the three localities above mentioned. 

 The irides are marked '' dark brown/' and the legs and feet '* hlack:' 



The bill is broad and robust, and the rcctriccs but slightly graduated, 

 the external being only al)Out i inch shorter than the middle jmir; m 

 that the species vronld appear to come in the same division as Kos. 12 

 and 13 of Count Salvadori's list.
