148 ORNITHOLOGY OF KEPAL. 



N. B. In this spee^^'^s the shorter and more rounded nares are tvholhj 

 hidden by the sete^eous frontal zone ; and all the remiges, save the 5 first 

 and 5 last, iife nearly equal. The mandibles of the bill are exactly equal 

 and ep*i^"e, eminently typical. 



y:^pecies 1th. Cinc. Rufimenta, rusty-chined Cinclosoma, Milii. 



Above, olive brown, broadly lunated with black : entire cap black : tail 

 immaculate, but furnished towards the tip with a double band of black and 

 rusty, prevailing throughout : chin and vent rusty : throat white : breast 

 and belly smokygray with black drops : lower part of the flanks and thighs, 

 olive brown ; bastard-wing, and external edges of primaries, subcerulean : 

 the former and the long coverts, tipt with black bar-wise : a pale roundish 

 spot before the eyes : broad longitudinal black patch behind the gape : bill 

 horn yellow : orbitar skin splendid blue : iris sanguine-brown : legs fleshy 

 brown: ] inches by 1 Of ; weight oz. 



N. B. In this species the nares are not wholly hidden, but they are 

 even less elongated than is the last : the wings are very feeble and jDerfectly 

 round : bill, as in the preceding species, but shorter. 



Species 8th. Cinc. Setafer. Spiny Cinclosoma, Milii. 



Slaty blue, overlaid with ruddy brown, which is clearer and paler 

 below, and richer and almost castaneous on the wings and tail-feathers. 

 Lateral rectrices broadly banded with black towards the tips : the tips 

 themselves bluish grey : shafts of the feathers on the head and neck, 

 rigid, spinous and black : elsewhere, albescent and soft : 8^ inches by 9 ; 

 weight 1:^ oz. 



N. B. In this somewhat anomalous species the tomiee are scarped 

 internally as well as less near to the palate or more locked than in any of 

 the preceding species, and the upper mandible, rather longer than the 

 lower, has always the meruline bend and notch. The nares are short and 

 ovoid, free from the frontal zone, and more shaded above by the membrane. 

 The stomach, which is gradually more muscular in the two last species, in 

 this reaches the form of a true gizzard almost.
