350 TWO CENTENARIES AND A QUARTER 



skin of this extraordinary bird is in the Andersonian Museum 

 at Glasgow. The upper plumage is entirely without those dark 

 stripes so common in the genus ; the front and lores are white ; 

 a stripe of the same colour passes over the eye and ears, where 

 it unites with another, which also passes under the ears : the 

 shoulder covers are deep black, separated from the grey of the 

 other covers by a light border : the quills arq black ; the three 

 last of the primaries being white, with a black band before 

 their tips ; and there is a white external band on the middle 

 of the first quill, continued, internally only, on the two next. 

 Tail short and grey ; the lateral feathers with a band of white, 

 and tipt with another of black : the neck and breast are grey ; 

 but the body, beneath, is white : bill black : legs yellow.

 the body rose-colour : three lateral tail feathers black, 

 with numerous oblique white bands on the outer web, 

 narrow white tips, and white dots at the edge of the 

 inner webs : wing covers lineated.

 beyond, 3 ; from the base 5fg. Of this species I have only seen 

 the female, which very much resembles that of my leucurus in 

 the whole of the upper plumage ; but it is easily distinguished 

 by its smaller size, by the obsolete white pectoral bar, by the 

 red commencing much higher on the breast, and, above all, by 

 the distinct white bands on the tail, of which there are about 



13 on the outermost feather ; the white tips are also not broader 

 than these bars, — a circumstance very unusual in this genus. 



207. FuRNARitJs longipennis. 



Above, browm ; beneath, white : quills with a broad 

 white basal band : tail black ; the two outermost feathers 

 edged and tipt with rufous. Bill short : wings length- 

 ened.
