GENUS CXCV.--COCCOTHRAUSTES, Brisson, 

 GROSBEAK. 



Rostrum validissimum, tu- 

 midum, crassum : mandi- 

 hula superior rectum, in-

This genus, as now constituted, embraces a con- 

 siderable number of species, varying greatly from 

 each other in the form of the beak, and requires much 

 elucidation : the species hereafter given are arranged 

 in conformity with the views of Cuvier in his Regn^ 

 Animal, that being the only work in which they are 

 enumerated. 



Sp. 1. Co. vulgaris. 



Loxia coccothraustes.
