Montium Ilimalayce Incolce. 



The chief distinguishing cliaracterlstics of the genus lanthoclncla 

 are the comparative length of the tarsus ; the length of the hinder 

 toe, and the great length of the claw by vvhich it is terminated; the 

 roundness, concavity, softness, and yielding character of the wings 

 and tail ; and the peculiar fuUness, lightness, and downiness of the 

 whole of the plumage, and particularly of that of the back and rump. 

 The dovvny nature of the covering is alliided to in the generic name.
