Genus 9. Lalage, Boie. 



The tail in this genus is more rounded and not so strougly graduated as in Pericrocotus : the 

 tarsus is long and the Ibot stout, the length of the tarsus exceeding that of the middle toe and claw. It 

 will be Seen that some species which have been placed in Volvocivora (sc. Campophaga), according to my 

 Classification, belong to Lalage.

a. b. cf ad. c. d. e. 9 ad. Kordo, Mysore, March 1873. 



Five examples of this very distinct species, which has no very near allies. Its nearest relation seems 

 to be with C. whitmeei, nobis, but it is certainly one of the most strongly differentiated species of the genus 



I believe the foUowing species to constitute the genus Lalage. 



1. L. sykesi, Strickl. Hab. India and Ceylon. 



2. L. melanoleuca (Blyth). Hab. Philippines. 



3. L. humeralis (Gould.) Hab. Australia. S. E. New Guinea. 



4. L. atrovirens (Gray). Hab. Mysol: Salwatti.

7. L. pacifica (Gm.). Hab. Friendly Islands: Fiji & Navigator groups. 



8. L. leucopygialis, Waiden. Hah. Celebes. 



9. L. leucoptera (Schi). Hab. Island of Mysore. 



10. L. whitmeei, Sharpe. 



Similis L. pacificae, sed uropygio dorso concolori nee pallidiore cinereo distinguendus: lineä snper- 

 ciliari alba lata: facie laterali et regione paroticä albis: suprä nigricans, scapularibus albo maculatis: rec- 

 tricibus late albo terminatis. 



Hab. Savage Island (Whitmee: Brenchley). 



In its uniform upper surface this species is easily separated from L. pacifica, and comes near to 

 L. leucoptera, from which the latter characters in the diagnosis distinguish it at once. 



11. L. banksiana, Gray. Hab. Bank's group.
