GARRULIN^. 
Wings rounded, with the fourth, fifth, and sixth quills the longest. Tail lengthened and rounded. 
Tarsi moderate, longer than the middle toe. Toes strong, with the lateral ones equal ; the hind toe 
long and strong ; the claws strong and curved. 
The Xew World is the peculiar abode of these showy birds, where they live in societies in the forests, being rarely 
seen in the open plains, and are very active, hopping from branch to branch in search of their food, which consists of 
seeds, insects, and eggs of birds. Sometimes they seek the cultivated tracts of land, to plunder them of the fruits, &c. 
Like the common Jay they attack and devour young birds. The manners of the typical species are bold and tyrannical, 
and they possess great talent for mimicry, copying the notes and cries of quadrupeds and birds with equal facility. 
This species also forms hoards of food for the winter season. Their ne^ts are placed in shady trees, usually of large 
dimensions : they are formed of twigs, and lined interiorly with dry fibrous roots, &c. The female generally deposits 
from four to six eggs.

PsiLORHINUS R'l/pp.* 
Bill strong, long, witli the cuhnen curved to the tip, which is unemai-ginatcd ; the sides compressed, 
the lateral margins slightly curved, and the gonys long and ascending; the nostrils basal, lateral, 
rounded, partly closed by a membrane, and the opening slightly concealed by a few slender plumes. 
Wings long, with the third, fourth, and fifth quills the longest. Tail lengthened, and more or less 
graduated. Tarsi strong, longer than the middle toe, and scutellated. Toes long, the lateral ones 
unequal ; the hind toe long and strong ; all the claws curved and acute. 
These fine birds are found in Columbia, Mexico, and the continent of India. The Asiatic species inhabits the forests, 
and is often observed flitting from branch to branch In search of food. It has been recorded that one kept in captivity 
ferociously pounced upon living birds, and eagerly devoured them, and that it refused other kinds of food. 
* This division was oris^inally established by Dr. Riippell, under ihe above name, in 18.S7. In Ih.iS, tlie Piir.ce of Canino cm j I.neil 
the name of Cyanid nx ; but, that word having [.rtviously been used by Mr. Suainson, 1 had in 1841 pri'[iosed in its place Colnriftn.
