Monarcha Vig. 8f Horsf.* 



Bill long, strong, the base broad, and the culmen slightly depressed, keeled, and curved to the tip, 

 which is emarginated ; the sides compressed towards the end ; the lateral margins curved, and the gonys 

 long and ascending ; the gape furnished with long slender bristles ; the nostrils lateral, basal, and con- 

 cealed by the projecting plumes and bristles. Wings moderate, the third quill nearly as long as the 

 fourth, which is the longest. Tail long, and slightly emarginated in the middle. Tarsi as long as the
