This is a vny distinct I'orra, at once known from .V. t. fi'nvsfi-i.i .Tard. In- the 

 following characters : tlie n])iier [larts are much darker, mnmmy brown (instead 

 of i)ale olivaceous brown), the wings darker chestnut, and tlie breast and abdomen 

 also much more intensely colourgd, scarcely lighter than the back. The whitish 

 spots on the throat are greatly restricted, the blackish ground-colour becoming 

 much more apparent. Only the anterior portion of the chest shows a few narrow 

 fulvous shaft-lines, while in -S'. t. terre.stria from Tobago the whole breast is 

 covered with distinct pale stripes, which are slightly margined witli dusky 

 laterally. 



8. t. strir/tijii'i'tus ( 'hapm. from Cumana is another close ally, but differs in 

 the decide<lly rufous sides of the neck and superciliaries, and in having tiie whole 

 lireast and abdomen marked with broad fulvous shaft-stripes.

The series is fairly uniform, and agrees perfectly with a good many skins from 

 Gumanaand Puerto Oabello. Two specimens from Tobago are also in no way ditferent. 

 It is certainly wrong to treat D. ineruloidfs as a subspecies of r>. inenda (Lciit.). 

 The latter is readily distinguished from all South American species of Dendrocincla 

 by its deep chestnut upjier wing- and lower tail-coverts and bright orange axillaries. 

 D. meruloidex, on the other hand, agrees in both respects with J ). jihaeochroa {v{\\\ch. 

 occurs together with ]>. mcritla at different localities, e.g. on the Orinoco), but 

 differs in its more ciunamnmeous-brown upjier parts, more rusty under-snrface, and 

 in the throat being uniform with the breast (instead of buffv).

* I compared two of the typical specimens, cullectcd by M. l!eaupeitlniy.s, in the I'.iris Museum. 

 They are both labelled •' Ciimaiiu," ami as lieaupeitluiys never collected anywhere else, tills locality must 

 be regarded as the typical one.
