M YI AGRA LATIROSTRIS, 
Broad-billed Flycatcher. 
Gould. 
My'iagra latirostris, Gould in Proc. of Zool. Soc, Part VIII. p. 172. 
I possess two examples of this species, one of which was procured on the north coast by Mr. Dring, and 
the other at Port Essington by Mr. Gilbert. It is in every respect a true My'iagra, and is rendered 
remarkably conspicuous by the great breadth or lateral dilatation of the bill. As no notes accompanied the 
specimens, I am unable to give any particulars as to its habits and economy ; in all probability they are 
very similar to those of the other members of the genus. 
All the upper surface, wings and tail dark bluish gray, with a shining greenish lustre on the head and 
back of the neck ; throat and chest sandy buff ; under surface white ; bill black ; irides blackish brown ; 
feet black. 
The figures are of the natural size.
