Bill moderate, broad at the base, and the sides compressed, with the culmen elevated and arched to 
the tip, which is emarginated ; the nostrils exposed and rounded, with the frontal plumes advancing to 
the opening. Wings moderate and pointed, with the first quill spurious, and the second nearly as 
long as the third and fourth, which are the longest. Tail more or less long, rounded, or graduated at 
the end. Tarsi as long as the middle toe, strong, and covered with broad scales. Toes moderate, strong, 
with the outer longer than the inner ; the hind toe long and strong ; the claws moderate, curved, and 
acute. 
The birds that compose this genus are found in the continent of India and its isles. They five in flocks, migrating 
from place to place in search of their food, which consists of berries, fruits, and insects. They are by no means shy, 
but very courageous, and are rarely observed on the ground. The nest is formed of roots of grass and dried leaves of 
trees, in holes of trees and buildings. They are also fond of making their nests in dove cots, from which they will 
expel the pigeons ; and it is not unfrequent to observe twenty or thirty pairs to infest one pigeon-house.

Bill moderate ; the culmen elevated, much compressed and acute at the base, and curved to the tip, 
which is emarginated ; the gape broad ; the sides compressed, the lateral margins slightly .curved, and 
the gonys long, straight, and advancing upwards ; the nostrils lateral, oblique, and sunk in a narrow 
groove, with the front edge keeled, and the opening oblong oval. Wings moderate, with the first quill 
* This genus was proposed in my List of Genera in 1841. It embraces those birds that form the second division of M. Temminck’s genus 
of Lamprotornis, and probably also his genus Enodes (1838). 
f The Baron de Lafresnaye established this genus in 1845 ( Rev . Zool.p. 93.).
