ORDER SCANSORES. 465 



We should, probably, also distinguish from the 

 rest, the species with a bill less thick, and which have 

 scarcely any nudity round the eyes. 



Java Malkoha. Malcoha a bee peint, Phcenicophceua 

 Calorhenchus. Col. 347- 



Black ; head and neck, red ; crown, iron-grey ; bill,

 Horsf. 



Dark greenish-gray ; bill, throat, breast, vent, and 

 thighs, ferruginous ; tail, tipt white.* 



The ScYTHROPs. Lath. 



Have a bill still larger than the preceding, and 

 thicker than the last, with two slight ridges longi- 

 tudinally on each side. Round the eyes is naked, 

 and the nostrils are round. Their bill approximates 

 them to the Toucans, but their tongue is not 

 ciliated. Only one species is known, which is proper 

 to New Holland. It is as big as a crow, whitish, 

 with a grey mantle. 



Psittaceous Hornhill. Scythrops Novce Hollandite. 

 Lath. Scy. Anstralasice. Shaw. 



Pale-green ; back, wing, and tail, lead-coloured.

 figures. There are better in PI. Col. 290, and Vieill. 

 Gal. 39. 



• Lesson mentions a bird as the Phcemcophceut SuperciUostu of Cuvier, but 

 Cuvier does not notice it in print.
