GARRULUS STRIATUS. 
Garr. pallidé brunneus, subtus pallidior ; corporis supra subtusque plumis in medio albo longitu- 
dinaliter striatis ; crista vertical, remigrbus, rectricibusque unicoloribus. 
Longitudo corports, 12 unc.; rostri, 1s; tarsz, 14. 
Tuis curious and interesting bird is at present provisionally placed in the genus Garrulus. Future researches, 
however, will most probably bring to light other species assimilating to the present; and it may then be found 
that the characters in Garrulus striatus which differ from those of its present congeners will warrant its being 
removed from the group where it is now placed. The chief characters on which such a suggestion is 
hazarded are, the beak more compressed and pointed than the blunt mandibles of the true Jays, and the total 
want of those markings, and of the general tone of plumage, which are so conspicuous in that well-known 
group of birds. 
The head is crested and of a dull rufous brown; the cheeks, sides of the neck, and back, brown with an 
olive tinge, each feather having a long narrow longitudinal mark of white; the quills and tail are of a dull 
rufous colour; the under parts pale brownish grey, each feather being white along its centre ; the beak and 
tarsi are blackish brown. 
The bird is figured of the natural size.
