Genus Curysococcyx, Boie. 
The members of this genus are distributed over most parts of the Old World; two species occur in Australia.

Sylvia versicolor, Lath. in Lambert’s Drawings. 
Genus Scyrnrors, Lath. 
The only known species of this remarkable form inhabits the eastern parts of Australia, and according to 
information derived from the notes made by Mr. Gilbert during Dr. Leichardt’s Expedition, extends its range north- 
ward from thence to within the tropics. 
I have recently had a young specimen presented to me by Lady Dowling, one of two taken from a branch of a 
tree while being fed by birds not of its own species, an important fact as showing the parasitic habits of the bird. 
344. Scythrops Novee-Hollandiz, Lath. . ; " : ‘ Vol. IV. Pl. 90. 
Genus Eupynamys, Vig. § Horsf. 
One species only of this form inhabits Australia; others are found in the Indian Islands and on the continent 
of India. 
345. Eudynamys Flindersii . : : . ; : . ; , Vol. IV. Pl. 91, 
Genus Centropvus, J//. 
On reference to my account of the Centropus Phasianus, it will be seen I have stated that some variation exists 
in the form of the bill in specimens from different localities, intimated a belief of there being more than one species, 
and remarked that should such prove to be the case, the term macrourus might be applied to the Port Essington 
birds, and melanurus to those from the north-west coast; and these names are provisionally given until future 
research has proved whether they be or be not distinct.

Family CERTHIADA, Vrg. 
Genus Curmacreris, Zemm. 
Several species of this well-defined and singular group of Australian birds have lately been discovered; two 
out of the six now known are all that had been described prior to the publication of the present work. With 
the exception of Van Diemen’s Land and the Cobourg Peninsula, every colony is inhabited by one or other of the 
following species :—
