A specimen of this apparently new Synallaxis is in the Gallery of 

 the Jardin des Plantes at Paris. It is marked " Bogota, Rieffer, 

 1843." It does not very closely resemble any species with which I 

 am acquainted, and is rather remarkable as being striated both above 

 and below. 



5. TuRDUS FULViVENTRis, Vcrrcaux, MS. 



Nigricanti-cinereus, alis caudaque obscurioribus ; capite tota cum 

 gutture nigris ; cervice antica fuscescenti-cinerea : abdomine

I have received a single example of this fine Thrush from MM. 

 Verreaux, with the MS. name attached, which I have adopted. It 

 is quite distinct from every other bird of the group hitherto de- 

 scribed, but may be placed near Turdus migratarius of the U. S. 



6. Turdus ignobilis. 



Cinerascenti-fuscus unicolor, subtus dilutior, gula albicante, striis 

 paucis cinereis : abdomine media cum crisso albis, lateribus 

 cinerascentibus : tectricibus subalaribus fusca- cinereis ^ rufo 

 vix tinctis : rostra cornea, pedibus fusco-nigris. 



Long, tota 9'0, alse 4*5, caudae 3*9.

I have had examples of this Thrush some time in my possession, 

 and have indicated it without naming it in my first list of birds from 

 Bogota (P. Z. S. 1855, p. 145, sp. 168). Having lately obtained 

 other specimens, I have no hesitation in describing it as apparently 

 unnamed, unless indeed it chance to be Prince Bonaparte's Turdus 

 luridus (Notes Orn. p. 28), which however it is impossible to deter- 

 mine from so brief a notice. In its uniform style of colouring it 

 resembles Turdus fumigatus of Brazil and T. Grayi of Mexico, but 

 may be immediately distinguished by the colour of the under wing- 

 coverts, which are cinereous like the breast, with a faint tinge only 

 of rufous. There are two examples of this same bird in the collec-
