throat and sides of the head buff, the feathers of the throat tipped with 

 pale brown; a narrow black streak extends from the base of the. lower 

 mandible to below the ear coverts; breast and upper portion of sides of 

 body silvery gray, the bases of the feathers tawny ochraceous and with 

 a central spot of the same color ; rest of under parts pale tawny ochra- 

 ceous, palest on the middle of the abdomen, most of the feathers with 

 obscure buffy white edges; thighs barred with pale brown; general 

 coloration and marking of wings approaching N. curvirostris, but the 

 wing coverts more grayish. 



Wing, 140; tarsus, 39; culmen, about 90 mm. (tip of bill broken). 



The single specimen before me is apparently different from any 

 known Peruvian species. I have not seen N. fulvescens and N. moebiusi 

 of Berlepsch, but, judging from the published descriptions, they are 

 quite different.
