* With the characters of this genus, as laid down by Temminck, I am not satisfied ; and 
I find myself unable to rectify them, for the want of good specimens. There is also room to 
doubt whether or not two or three of the species, which Temminck has classed under this genus, 
ought to be retained in it.
