Mr Vigors to this bird and to the N. Riocourii, 
when he made out his valuable observations on 
the “ affinities of birds.” They appear to us to 
differ considerably, and we are now' inclined to 
adopt for the long and fork-tailed species the 
generic title of the latter ornithologist. 
Nauclerus. — Generic character . — Bill short, 
weak, compressed ; nostrils oval, oblique, 
covered with bristles at the base ; wings 
long, the second or third quill longest ; tail

tarsi reticulated, the acrostarsia below the 
knees plumed to the middle, claws nearly 
round ; body slender. (Vigor’s Zool. Jour.)
