‘its base, and the margins folding over those of the 
under mandible: the tip abruptly hooked. Wings 
rather short. Feet strong, moderate. The outer toe 
connected for half its length to the middle toe ; hinder 
toe long ; inner toe shortest. 
_ Evryxarmus, Horsf. ( fig.144. p.81.) Bill broader than 
_ the head: under mandible very thin, particularly 
at the base. Nostrils basal, transverse, oval; the

Cymeiryneuus, Vigors. Bill thicker, subconic, and 
more powerful; the base with a thickened margin : 
under mandible strong, equally deep with the upper.

Puatystomus, Sw.* Bill as broad as the head; the

edge of the upper mandible not dilated or folding 
over that of the under. Rictus strongly bristled. 
Nostrils basal, oblong, naked, and without a mem- 
brane. Wings lengthened, pointed ; the outer quills 
graduated ; the fourth and fifth quills equal, and 
longest. Tail moderate, forked. Feet as in Eury- 
laimus, but the tarsus is shorter. The fissirostral

Psarisomus, Sw.t General structure of Eurylaimus ; 
but the bill is small, and only of an ordinary size. 
Tail rather lengthened.

* M. Lesson places this and Cymbirynchus, in his genus Erolla. 
+ Never having seen a specimen, I can only judge of this remarkable 
type by the figure in Dr. Royle’s work on Hymalayan Natural History. 
Its striking resemblance to a Psaris, and the smallness of its bill, makes me 
conclude it is the most aberrant, or tenuirostral type.
