BY PHILIP LUTLEY SCLATER. 
Four other genera besides Galbula have been established in this 
family. 
(2.) Jdcamaralcyon , Cuv. 1829 ; Cauax, Cab. 1847. 
J. tridactyla. 
(3.) Galbalcyrhynchus , Dos Murs, 1845 ; Jacamaralcyonides, 
Des Murs, 1849. 
G. leucotis. 
(4.) Jacamerops , Cuv. 1817 ; Lanprotila, Sw. 1837. 
J. grandis. 
(5.) Galbuloides , Des Murs, 1851. 
G. boersi. 
(2.) Of Jacamaralcyon I have seen only the common type spe- 
cies. Does any one know Swainson’s G. lugubris f He expressly 
states, An. in Men. p. 329, that it has only three toes. It would 
therefore form a second species of this genus. The example so 
marked in the British Museum is my G. mornata. Cut off its 
fourth toe and it would fit Swainson’s description tolerably well. 
(3.) Galbalcyrhynchus , from Santa Fe di Bogota, figured Ico- 
nographie Ornithologiquc, pi. 17, is rare. There is one example 
in the British Museum. 
(4.) M. Dcville has described a second species of Jacamerops , 
under the specific name isidorei in the Bev. de Zool. 1849, 
p. 55. M. Des Murs, however, in the newly published Encyclo- 
pedic d’llist. Nat., states his opinion, that this is merely a pale 
coloured female of the ordinary grandis. I have seen the type 
specimen in the Museum of the Jardin des Plautes, and though 
I did not pay any very great attention to it at that time, my 
impression certainly was, that it was a good species. 
(5.) Docs Le Vaillant’s “ Lc Grand Jacamar,” Galbula boersi, 
Itanzaui, exist any where ? I have always regarded it as fabulous ; 
hut as M. Des Murs has lately made a new genus for its sole 
reception, his ideas upon this subject are probably somewhat dif- 
ferent. Lc Vaillant states it to be from the Moluccas'
