Tm s c,„-io„s and interesting bird is a t present provisionally placed ii, the genus Oarruks. Fntnre researches
Iiowever, w.ll most probably bring to light other species assimilating to the p.-esent; and it may tlien be found
th a t tbc characters Garruks striatus which differ from those of its present congeners will warrant its beimr
removed from the groap whore it is now placed. The chief charactc-s on which such a suggestion i°s
hazarded are, the hc.ik more compressed and pointed than the blunt mandibles of the true Jays and the total
™ „ t ot those markmgs, and o f the general tone o f pinmage, which are so conspicuous in that well-kno.vn
group o f birds.
The head is crested and of a dull rufous brown; the cheeks, sides of the neck, and baek, brown with an
olive tuigc, each feather having a long narrow longitudinal mark o f w h ite ; the quills and tail are of a dull
rnfons colour; the under parts pale brownish grey, each feather being white along its centre ; the beak and
tarsi are blackisli brown.
The bird is figured of the natural size.
