CATALOGUE OF PICI. 95 
Our specimen, collected by Mr. C. Hose, agrees very well with the above descrip- 
tion. The bill, however, is much shorter and stouter than that of M. duvauceli ; 
the gonys very much shorter and ascending more abruptly. We have conse- 
quently placed it under the genus Cyanops.
