M. Salle's collection contains four examples of this interesting bird, 

 which has never previously come under my notice. One marked as 

 a female has the bill rather longer than the others, but does not 

 otherwise differ from them. It may be at once distinguished from 

 the Brazilian S. caudacutus (to which it shows great general resem- 

 blance) by its smaller size. Hartlaub's S.fuscus (R. Z. 1844, p. 370) 

 seems to be larger, and differently coloured.

 latis: Cauda tota nigricante et rufescenti-brunneo tessellata: 

 rostro nigra : pedibus brunneis. 

 Long, tota 38, alse 2*2, caudse TO. 

 Salle, no. 112. Cordova. 



This Mexican species much resembles in colouring a Bogota bird 

 in my collection, which I somewhat doubtfully refer to S. griseicollis, 

 Lafr., but differs from it in having the lower parts cinereous and not 

 white.
