Tail somewhat graduated, the feathers acute and acuminate at tips ; the outer tapering from about its middle. Bill lengthened • commissure nearly straight, but slightly sinuated towards base ; nostrils broad and open. Legs stout; tarsus about equal to middle toe and claw, without distinct scutellar divisions anteriorly except below; a few faint and obsolete transverse divisions on outer side. Inner toe separated to base, the basal joint of middle toe united for rather more than basal half to outer toe ; clawa all rather large. (No. 41,908.) Total lengt
