Fasciatus, Sh. 

 This species has been made into a new genus by the Prince Bonaparte, under the 

 name of Grammieus ; it is one of the smaller and weaker species of Hornbill, but pre- 

 sents the same characters as the larger ones, from which it differs only in the following 

 respects : — the pelvis approaches nearer to the form of that of the Kingfishers, the ridge 

 at the junction between the ilium and ischium being nearly obliterated ; and in having 

 a spine projecting backwards on the posterior margin of the pelvis at the point of their 

 junction. Only the three penultimate of the cervical vertebrse have the dorsal spine 



developed.
