LANIIDiE. 



Inhabits Malimba in Africa. Not much unlike 

 the former bird, in size and the distribution of its 

 colours : the beak and legs are black : the former 

 with a very slight notch : the forehead yellow, pass- 

 ing a little way over each eye, and ending in a point : 

 the plumage on the upper parts of the body and 

 wings, sides and thighs, deep green : from the nostrils 

 a black streak commences, which passes through and 

 down on each side of the neck, and growing broad, 

 forms a deep crescent on the breast : within this and 

 the middle of the belly to the vent deep red : tail 

 moderate, rounded at the end, green above ; dark 

 coloured beneath.
