mandible is also furnished \vith five or six serrations, but very low 

 and indistinct. I^he wing is much rounded, the fifth quill being 

 longest and the ręst graduated. The colour and texture of plumage 

 are much likę that of the East Indian Pycnonotus flavirictus, Strickl. 

 (Ann. Nat. Hist., June 1844.) 



Totai length 6| inches; beak to gape 11 lines, to front 7 lines ; 

 breadth 4 lines, height 2į lines ; \ving 3į inches ; medial rectrices 

 3 inches ; external 2^ inches ; tarsus f inch, middle toe and claw 8 

 lines, hind ditto 6 lines. 



The above description is taken from a specimen marked " female." 

 In two other specimens in which the sex is not indicated the dimen- 

 sions and plumage are the šame, but the yellow streak on each side 

 of the chin is wanting, and the lower mandible wants the serrations, 

 and exhibits only a small subterminal notch. These are probably 

 younger individuals.

Andropadus gracilirostris, Strickl. A. corpore toto suprd. oli- 



vaceo, remigibus primariis fuscis, extiis olivascente, intūs pallide 



ochraceo limbatis, corpore subtūs pallide olivaceo-cinerascente, 



mento guldque albidis, abdomine medio crissogne pallide fluvescen- 



tibus, alarum tectricibus infernis pallide ochraceis. Rostrum 



pedesgue corneo-fusci ; rostrum longiusculum, turdinum, dentibus 



maxilla duobus, mandibulie nullis. 



This species differs from the former one in several points of struc- 



ture ; the beak is considerably narrower at the base and more slender, 



the upper mandible has onl)^ two dentations, with a faint trace of a 



third, and the lower mandible exhibits only a slight subterminal 



emargination. The wings also difFer, being more pointed ; the first 



quill is subspurious, and the second, third and fourth nearly equal, 



the third longest. These two species, however, agree in the struc- 



ture of the tail and feet, and in the texture and cJmost the colour of 



the plumage, the rump-feathers being dense, long and downy, as in 



the true Pycnonoti. The specimen before me is a malė ; it exhibits 



two or three slender nuchal bristles, likę those of Pycnonotus and 



Criniger, which are not traceable in A. latirostris.
