PHYTOTOMA. 



Mr. Leadbeater has described a bird in the 16th. volume of the Lin- 

 nean Transactions, under the title of P \ ferreo-rostre, which, if found even- 

 tually to belong to this genus, will form a fifth species, and has been thus 

 characterised by its describer : 



P. ferreo-rostre, Lead. Trans. Linn. Soc. vol. xvi. part i. p. 85. — P. brunnea, capite, gula 

 caudaque supra run's ; rostro nigro crasissimo. 



We have doubts (and indeed Mr. Leadbeater has himself expressed a 

 query) whether this will be admitted. We rather suspect that it will form 

 some separate genus among the Loxiada. 



CHLQROPSIS. 



For our corrections of the species belonging to this genus, see our ob- 

 servations in the description of Plate 100. No. VI. 



In looking through some Indian drawings belonging to General Hard- 

 wicke, we met with one of a bird evidently belonging to this genus, and 

 which we had never previously seen. The following characters were made 

 from the drawing, which, in the want of any thing more authentic, will 

 serve to distinguish the species until some fortunate ornithologist may ac- 

 quire real specimens. We may add, that a fac-simile of the drawing will, 

 ere long, be published by Mr. J. E. Grey in the Illustrations of Indian 

 Zoology, now prosecuting by that gentleman and General Hardwicke. 



Chloeopsis * supra viridis, mento, gula strigaque per oculos nigris ; striga mysticali lata 

 ccerulea, remigibus nigris, pectore abdomineque flavis, cauda virescente nigra ; iridibus 

 albis. 



Long, circiter 7 pollices. 



Hab. In Nepaul. 



* We would suggest to Mr Gray the specific name of Hardwickii for this beautiful species,— a compliment 

 justly due to the labours of that intelligent naturalist.
