SCARDAFELLA, Bonaparte. 



' . ' Scardafella, Eonap. Censpectus Av. II, 1854, 85. Type Colmhba squamosa, Temm. 



Ch.— Bill lengthened ; culjnen more than half the lengfh of head meaiiured ftom the frontal feathers. Feet as in Chamaepelia. 

 Wings' with'th? tertials nearly as long as the primaries ; shorter, l\Qweyer,^ than the first primary. Tail considerably longer 

 than the wings ; much graduated, (of fourteen feathers?) ; the feathers narrow, linear, or tapering towards the end. 



This remarkable type is a miniature of Ectopistes or Zenaidura in respect to the tail, which 

 is even longer compared with the wings. The (^nly specimen before me appears to ha,ve had 

 fpsurteen tail feathers, but of this I cannot speak with, certainty.
