DEFINITIONS

COLLURICINCLA
(Pachycephalidae; Ϯ Grey Shrikethrush C. harmonica) Gr. κολλυριων kolluriōn  thrush-sized bird mentioned by Aristotle and Hesychius, not further identified, but in ornithology considered to be a shrike (cf. genus Collurio Kaup,1829, shrike); Mod. L. cinclus  thrush  < Gr. κιγκλος kinklos  unidentified waterside bird; "Genus. COLLURICINCLA*.  Rostrum forte, sub-elongatum, compressum, rectum, culmine apicem versus gradatim arcuato: mandibula inferiori prope apicem fortiter emarginata: naribus ovalibus subobliquis, membrano partim clausis, setis plumulisque obtectis: rictu setis parce instructis.  Alæ mediocres rotundatæ: remigibus, prima brevi, tertia quarta quinta et sexta fere æqualibus longissimis, septima breviori, secunda et octava paulo brevioribus æqualibus; tertiæ ad sextam  inclusam pogoniis externis in medio paulatim latioribus.  Pedes mediocres, subfortes; acrotarsiis scutellatis, paratarsiis integris; digitis mediocribus, medio longiori, halluce forti, hujus ungue subelongato forti.  Cauda subelongata, æqualis.    *Kολλυριων lanius, and κιγκλος turdus.    This group, which by its straight and rather lengthened bill appears to come into the subfamily of Thamnophilina among the Shrikes, may probably be considered the representative in Australia of the South American Thamnophili and the African Malaconoti.  From both those genera it differs in its entirely even tail; in its wings being comparatively longer, although rounded as in those genera; and in the paratarsia being entire instead of being furnished with either large but distant, or small but numerous, scales.  We have been enabled to ascertain nothing of the habits of the group: but its general appearance points out the situation we at present assign it; while at the same time it has also some general resemblance to the neighbouring family of the Thrushes.  The present subfamily, it is to be observed, is that which connects the Laniadæ with the last-mentioned family Merulidæ: and this approaching conformity to the Thrushes in the birds which compose the extreme and connecting group of the Shrikes is therefore to be expected.  We have assigned the genus a name indicative of these approaching affinities.   1.
