Mr. Hoffmanns reports that this bird lays a single egg on the ground amidst 

 dry leaves and grasses. One egg, taken at Calama, October 14, 1907, is pinkish

Compared with several skins from Bahia and Ypanoma (S. Paulo) this bird is 

 of a brighter rufous brown, bnt the markings are the same. Topotypical Peruvian 

 specimens are not available for examination. 



('. rosenbcnji Hart.,* from Western Colombia and N.W. Ecuador, is very 

 nearly allied to C. ocellatus, and, like it, has no white cross-bar on the reiniges. 

 How(;ver, the general colour is blackish, the white apical margin to the rectrices 

 is much narrower, there are no cinnamomeous marginal spots on the outer web of 

 the primaries, while, on the other hand, each of tlio innermost greater wing- 

 coverts has a large, rounded white apical spot.
