Intermediate between the Flycatchers and the 

 Certhise, and, therefore, difficult to arrange. 



There are several genera, or sub- gen era, which 

 approach certain links of the series of Flycatchers, 

 as the 



Gymnocephales, or Bald Tyrants, 



which have nearly the beak of the Tyrants, ex- 

 cept that the keel is rather more arched, and a con- 

 siderable part of their face is denuded of feathers. 

 There is but one species known, which is of Cayenne, 

 as large as a crow, and of the colour of Spanish 

 snuff.
