other writers ; and I am uot myself certain that it may not be pos- 

 sible to consider them only as a subfamily belonging to that series.

In my communication on some new species of this genus in last 

 year's Proceedings (p. 84), I have united this bird with T. galea- 

 tum, figured in PI. Enl. 391. f. 1, from Cayenne. Mr. G. R. Gray 

 has however pointed out to me specimens of both these species 

 in the British Museum, whereby it clearly appears that I was in 

 error in so doing. The two are certainly very nearly allied species, 

 but T. galeatum (which appears to be the same as the bird deno- 

 minated Colopterus cristatus by Cabanis) may be distinguished by 

 having no edgings to the wing-coverts, and by the very peculiar ab- 

 breviation of the three first primaries. 



87. Todirostrum picatum, sp. nov. 



Supra nigrum, loris et secundariarum trium ultimarum pogoniis 

 externis cum macula rectricis unce utrinque extimce apicali 

 albis, his flavicante tinctis ; subtus album, tectricibus sub- 

 alaribus et margine campterii jiavicanti-albis : rostro superior e 

 nigro, inferior e albo ; pedibus pallide fuscis. 

 Long, tota 3"5, alse 2*1, caudae 1*3, rostri a fronte 6'0, tarsi 6*5. 

 This peculiar Todirostrum is quite unlike any other known mem- 

 ber of the genus in colouring. In structure it is generally typical, 

 but with the bill not quite so broad towards the apex as in some 

 others.

coloribus : subtus flavicans, gula grisescente ; pectore et late- 



ribus cum c?'isso ofivaceo perfusis ; tectricibus subalaribus sul- 



phureis ; rostro superiore nigro, inferior e albo; pedibus carneis. 



Long, tota 6*0, alse 2*6, caudse 2*3, rostri a rictu 0*8, tarsi 0*7. 



This bird is a close ally of the Brazilian Cyclorhynchus olivaceus, 



but may be distinguished by its shorter wings and tail, and by the 



pure yellow of the middle of the abdomen.
