﻿Museum, however, I discovered a series of specimens there from Mysol, and it is to Professor 

 Schlegel's kindness in lending me the examples in question that I am enabled to give a 

 figure of this beautiful Tanysiptera in three stages of plumage 



In general appearance it resembles T. galatea, but differs conspicuously in the unspa- 

 rulated tail which seems to be preserved in all ages. 



The species is dedicated to Mr. D. G. Elliot, one of the most illustrious American 

 Naturalists, and author of several Ornithological "Monographs."
