1 The absence of tbe first primary in C. cruralis and the length of the second 
point to the Motacillidce as the position of this genus. G. rufescens, however, 
has a small first primary, the second being long, as in C. cruralis. The forma- 
tion of the wing is quite different from that of Megalurus, Malacocercus, &c., with 
which genera Strickland associated Cinclorhamphus (Contr. Orn. 1848, p. 26). 
Notwithstanding the presence in some species of a small first primary I consider 
this genus should be placed in the Motacillidce.
