It has the culnien unusually broad between the nostrils, and it extends back some distance into the forehead. The dift'erence in the structure of the feet from DoUchonyx is very great. Species of Molothrits resemble some of the FrinfjiUidcc more than any other of the Idcriche. The bill is, however, more straight, the tip with- out notch ; the culmen running back farther on the forehead, the being situated fully one third or more of the total length from its posterior extremity. This is seldom the case in the American families. The en- tire absence of notch in the bill and of bristles along the rictus are strong features. The nostrils are ])erfectly free from any overhanging feathers or bristles. The |K)inted wings, with the first quill longest, or nearly equal to second, and the tail with its broad rounded feathers, shorter than the wings, are additional features to be specially Molothrus pecorix.
