320 AVES. Ps 
The stems of the primary wing-quills are singularly widened in 
some of them,(1) and among those which have none of these orna- 
ments, we may still distinguish the fork- -tailed species,(2) some of 
which have their very long lateral quills widened at the end.(3 
Among those which have a square or’slightly emarginated 
tail, there is one worthy of notice from its extreme smallness, 
the : ’ 
Troch. minimus, Enl. 276, 1; Edw. 1053 Vieill. 64. It is of : a 
violet-grey colour, and about the size of a Bee. LF 
Another, on the contrary, because it is the largest of the ‘wiole 
genus, the 2 
Troch. gigas, Vieill., Gal. 180, which is almost equal in size 
to the Hirundo apus.(4) 
Urupa, Lin. 
In this genus we will first place, 
Freciius, Cuv.(5) : ‘ i 
Where the nostrils are covered with feathers directed forwards, 
from which circumstance several authors have placed these birds 
with the Crows, which they also somewhat resemble in their, man- 
“ners; their beak is a little longer than the head. 
Corvus graculus, L.; Le crave d’Europe, En). 255; Naum. 57, 
2; Vieill. Galer. 163. The size of a Crow; black; red feet and 
beak; wings reaching to the end of the tail or extending beyond 
nis; the straight beaked ones, in which the quills of the ‘wings are inflated, 
Campyroprervs; and those with a forked tail, CynanTuus.
