Allied to the long tailed Malacocerci and also to Sphenura, but the bill inter- 
mediate in form to those of Turdus and Lanius and the gape conspicuously armed 
with straight vibrissae: it is nearly equal to the head, moderately compressed, 
the ridge of the upper mandible obtusely angulated, and its outline curving 
towards the tip, which is strongly emarginated and forms a distinct hook, over- 
hanging the extremity of the lower mandible; nostrils oval, pierced in the fore 
part of the nasal membrane; wings and tail graduated, the first primary two 
fifths the length of the fifth, which is equal to the sixth and seventh and longest; 
feet formed for peruhing, the tarse rather longer than the middle toe with its 
claw, and the claws but moderately curved; tail elongated.
