This is a singular bird, and must be separated from the three 

 following species, differing as it does in its much stronger bill and 

 longer tarsi, which give it somewhat the semblance of an Ant-thrush 

 (Grallaria).

Messrs. Newton have described the nest and eggs of this bird in 

 the 'Ibis' (1859, p. 142). 



Not being able to concur in Prince Bonaparte's transfer of his 

 name Cichlalopia to this genus, I have used the term Margarops 

 (fAc'tpyapos et w\p) — sc. " Pearly- eyed Thrush," as Messrs. Newton 

 call it.
