There are several newly discovered species of this 

 genus, the descriptions of which were read before the 

 members of the Linnean Society on Dec. 20, 1825. 



GENUS CXCIV.- 



Rostrum conicum, crassum, 

 rectum, subserratum. 



Pedes tridactyli; digitis duo- 

 bus anticis, uno postico. 



HYREUS, Steph. 



Beak conic, thick, straight, 

 somewhat serrated. 



Feet three-toed; two toes be- 

 fore, one behind. 



Sp. 1. Abyssinicus. 



Hy. Abyssinicus. Steph. v. ix. p, 238. pi. 53. 



GENUS CXCV.—COCCOTHRAUSTES, Brisson. 

 GROSBEAK. 



Rostrum validissimum, tu- 

 midum, crassum: mandi- 

 hula superior rectum, in- 

 tegrum. 



Beak very stout, swollen, 

 thick; the upper mandible 

 straight, intire. 



This genus, as now constituted, embraces a con- 

 siderable number of species, varying greatly from 

 each other in the form of the beak, and requires much 

 elucidation : the species hereafter given are arranged 

 in conformity with the views of Cuvier in his Regn^ 

 Animal, that being the only work in which they are 

 enumerated.
