Bill moderate and slender, with the cuhnen arched to the tip, which is lengthened and hooked, the 
sides much compressed, and the lateral margins entire ; the lower mandible longer than deep, with the 
gonys long and advancing upwards ; the nostrils basal, lateral, oval, and placed in a narrow cere. 
Wings moderate, with the first, second, and third quills nearly equal and longest, the first usually the 
longest of all. Tail rather long and graduated, with the ends narrowed and rather pointed. Tarsi 
very short, robust, covered with small scales, and partly hidden by the feathers of the thighs. Toes 
rather strong and very broad, the claws strong, arched, and acute. The tongue is furnished at the end 
with numerous strong hairs or bristles of a brush-like structure. 
The richly colouj'cd species of this genus are found in Australia, jind in sonic of the islands of the Indian arclii- 
pelago. Those that are found in the former country ajipear to live in large societies, moving from place to place in 
search of the flowers of the various species of gum trees, or Eucalypti, which furnish them with an abundant supply of 
food, and they are exclusively confined to the forests that are composed of those trees. They select the newly 
expanded flowers, as these afford them the greatest supply of nectar and pollen, which form the chief portion of their 
subsistence. The eggs are deposited in the holes of trees ; they are generally two in number.
