 Lanius lunulatus, Cuv. , in Mus. Paris. — Less. Tr. d'Orn., 



p. 375, pi. 45, fig. 2. 



$ cristatus ; supra rufus ; subtus albo nigroque trans-fas- 

 ciatus ; cauda nigra, albescenfce trans-fasciata. 



Long, tota 8*5, alse 3*7, caudse 3*0. 



Hab. Cayenne (Poiteau in Mus. Paris). 



Of this bird I have as yet seen but one sex, which is, I 

 rather expect, the male, and of this only the two examples in 

 the Paris and British Museums. In the formation of the bill 

 it approaches the preceding species, and would perhaps form a 

 second Cymbilahnus for those who separate that as a genus 

 from Thamnophilus. 



As no accurate description of this bird has been published, 

 I add my notes of the British Museum specimen. Crest, nape, 

 whole back and wings, bright rufous ; lores, sides of the neck, 

 and underparts densely lineated transversely with black and 

 white, tail dull black, outer feathers barred with whitish. 



Div. C. — TAR ABA, Lesson : medii ; rostro modico : caudd 



breviore.
