BLACK-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. 61 
Independent of the above five species, Le Vaillant 
gives the name of Le Tchitreche to another, of which 
he makes three varieties. One of these is the 
original paradicea of Linn., hut we suspect there 
will still he other species left under this name. 
Upon the whole, we may feel assured, however, 
that there are at least eight very distinct species, 
which, up to this time, have been confounded by 
systematic writers under the common name of Mu- 
scipeta paradicea. 
We now quit the Dentirostres and enter upon 
the Fissirostres, an order w T hich contains those 
families whose feet me remarkably feeble, and who 
only feed, like swallows, when upon the wing. To 
this division belongs the genus Merops or the Bee- 
eaters, the most splendid coloured group of the 
whole tribe, and the Caprimulgidce or Night-jars, 
which are the most typical.
