BY 
T. C. EYTON, Esq., F.L. S., &o. 
NASICA BRIDGE SII, Eyton. 
Nasica, doro coudaque ferrugineis, fronte verticeque brunneis 
linea lata snperciliari, gula et singulis pennis pectoris, abdominis, 
crissique mediis partibus late albis, his marginibus atris et brunneis 
fimbriatis : rostro, mandibula superiore atra, inferiore carnea tarsis 
pedibusque atris. 
Long. corp. 13 ; tarsi, 15; rost. front. 2.2. 
This species may be at once distinguished from Nasicc i longi 
rostris, by the more slender and curved bill, in which respect it 
approaches the genus Xiphorhyncus. The back and tail also are 
not nearly of so bright a ferruginous as in the first named bird. 
The first specimen I observed was in Lord Derby’s museum, and 
was obtained by Mr. Bridges in the interior of Bolivia, since whic 1 
time I have obtained one from the same source, and purchased 
another in Liverpool ; one of my specimens has a few spots ot 
white on the centre of each of the feathers on the back of t le 
neck.
