 Cinereous Tody, Gen. Si/n. ii. 658. Shaw's Zool. viii. 130. pi. 16. 



RATHER larger than the Green Tody. Bill shaped the same, 

 dusky, with a reddish base, where it is beset with bristles ; forehead 

 black ; the upper parts of the body deep cinereous ; the under 

 yellow; wing coverts and quills brownish black, margined with 

 luteous ; the tail consists of twelve feathers, and is somewhat cunei- 

 form ; the two middle ones are black, the others brown, tipped with 

 white ; legs deep flesh-colour. 



The female has the colours less bright, and the tail feathers not 

 tipped with white. A Variety, if not differing in sex, had the chin 

 white, streaked with dusky black, and some markings of the same 

 on the breast, which, as well as the belly, are paler yellow. 



Inhabits Surinam and Guiana, where it is called Tic-tic, from its 

 note. It lives on insects, and frequents the more open places, not 

 being found at all in thick woods, though sometimes among bushes. 



4— BROWN TODY.

LARGER than the first Species. The upper part of the body 

 ferruginous brown ; across the wing coverts a dusky bar ; lower parts 

 of the body olive, spotted with white ; tail ferruginous. 



Inhabits the hotter parts of America.
