THRUSH. 87 



These three last described, according to M. Levaillant, might form 

 a new Genus, hanging between his Flycatcher, Tyrant, Drongo, and 

 Curueui ; for the bill is broad at the base, nostrils covered with 

 feathers, the upper mandible bent at the tip, with a slight notch ; 

 head large, body full of feathers, especially on the rump, so that 

 passing the hand against the feathers upwards, they feel as sharp as 

 pins ; however this may be, the general character seems to prove 

 their strong alliance to the Thrush Genus, under which they are 

 here placed.
