Sp. 13. Tyrannus cinereus. 

 Gray-throated Tyrant. 



T. ferrugineus ; capite, cervice juguloque cinereis; uropygio caudaque rufis; 

 alis brevibus; tarsis elongatis. 



Ferruginous; head, neck, and throat cinereous,- rump and tail rufous ,• wings 

 short ; tarsi lengthened. 



Muscicapa cinerea. Gm. 938. Ind. Orn. 2. 488. 



Le gobe mouche roux de Cayenne. Brisson. Ois. Supp. p. 51 . pi. 3. f. 3. 



Rufous-bellied Flycatcher. Lath. Gen. Syn. 3. 363. 



Size of T. calearattis; but the bill is rather larger, and less de- 

 pressed, although equally beset with stiff feathers and lengthened 

 bristles : the upper mandible is brown, the under yellowish ; the head, 

 neck, and throat is cinereous, darkest above, while the feathers beneath 

 have their margins nearly white : the shafts of those on the crown are 

 black. Wings and middle of the back rufous, graduating into a bright 

 ferruginous towards the rump. The tail is rather short, even, and rufous ; 

 the under plumage, from the breast, is of the same tint as the rump. 

 Wings short and feeble ; tarsi pale and lengthened, with a series of small, 

 reticulated, posterior scales. Claws strong, and nearly equal in size to 

 those of T. ambulans. 



Inhabits Brazil: manners unknown. 



Total length 8, bill lj, wings 3§, tail 3, tarsi 1 ; the outer toe con- 

 nected, as far as the first joint, to the middle toe. 



The figure of this species, in the valuable work of M. Brisson, 



is very characteristic ; but that which has usually been referred 



to in the Planches Enluminees, seems to me intended for a very 



different bird. 



Sp. 14. Tyrannus rufescens. Sp. Nov. ? 

 Yellow-rumped Tyrant. 



T. ferrugineus, infra pallidior; abdomine albente; uropygio fulvo; cauda 

 rufS; alis brevibus ; tarsis elongatis. 



Ferruginous, beneath paler; body whitish ; rump fulvous ; tail rufous ; wings 

 short ; tarsi lengthened. 



Yellow-rumped Fly-catcher ? Lath. Gen. Syn. 3. 354. 



Considerably less than the last, though closely allied to it. The plu- 

 mage above is rufous brown, which changes to buff-coloured yellow on the 

 rump and upper tail-covers. Wing-covers dusky-black, tipt with rufous- 

 brown ; and this last colour forms three bands on each wing. Under 

 plumage, from the chin to the breast, light brown ; body white ; vent and 

 under tail-covers tinged with yellow. Tail nearly even, rather short, and 

 entirely rufous. Tarsi pale and lengthened, having a small row of poste- 

 rior scales similar to T. cinereus ; claws moderate.
