Typus genericus. Cinclosoma ocellatum, Vig. 



Montium Ilimalayce Incolce. 



The chief distinguishing characteristics of the genus lanthocincia 

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

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

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

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

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

 The downy nature of the covering is alluded to in the generic name. 



The following species may be referred to it.
