The bill is, however, more straight, the tij) with- out notch ; the culnieu running back farther on the forehead, the nostrils being situated fully one third or more of the total length from its posterior extremity. This is seldom the ease 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 luistles. The ])ointed wings, with the first quill longest, or nearly equal to second, and tiie tail with its broad rounded feathers, shorter than the wings, are additional features to be specially Molothrus pfcorix.
