Characters. The members of the genus Serilophus are nearest allied to Eurylaimus, 
but their bills are smaller and the tails and wings are longer, moreover the plumage is wonder- 
fully soft and silky to the touch. The scales in front of the metatarsus are almost quite fused. The 
middle secondaries are unusually broad. The females have a silvery white band across the 
lower throat, wich is not found in the males. The nests are as usual, the eggs spotted. 
Four forms of the genus are known. One of these, Serilophus rubropygia, has the longest 
primaries normal, with rounded tips, while S. /unatus and its two allies have them suddenly 
and sharply pointed. While S. rwbropygia is of course a totally distinct species, the other three 
forms are better regarded as subspecies, 1. e. geographical races. They may be distinguished 
as follows : 

Primaries vounded at the tips S. RUBROPYGIA.
