" Iris pale brown, feet light green or greyish green, bill black or dark grey." 



The series sniistantially corroborates what I have said l.r. The nnder parts 

 are invariably deep ochraceous or tawny ochraceons, as in Guiuuan and (.'aura 

 specimens, but the upper tail-coverts are either of the same dark rufous lirown 

 shade as the back or very slightly more reddish. The young bird is considerably 

 paler and dnller, both above and below. Two eggs, taken with the parent bird 

 (No. 'ilO), are of a reddish clay-colour and measure 38 x 29, 36 x 26| mm.

The Humaytha birds have shorter wings than those from East and Southern 

 Brazil, but do not difi'er in coloration.]

Tinamus adspersus Temmiuck, Hist. Xal. Pi;/, rt Hall. iii. p. 58o (1815. — Parii ; coll. Hoffmanusegg

Right bank : Borba (Natterer) ; left bank : Humaytha (Hoffmanns). 



The four examples from Borba obtained by Natterer are practically identical 

 with the type in the Berlin Museum, said to be from '• Paril " (of. ray remarks I.e. 

 p. 703). The adult female secured by Mr. Ilotfmanns at Humaytha has the black 

 cross-markings of the back rather broader, thereby forming the passage to C. a. 

 }-adiatits (Gray), which represents C. a. adiipei:siis on the banks of the Rio Gnaporo, 

 one of the headwaters of the Madeira (see I.e. pp. 704-5).]

 Crypturus siriguhisus Hellmayr, Nor. Zoul. xiv. p. 411 (Humaytha). 



Right bank : Borba (Natterer) ; left bank : Humaytha (Hoffmanns). 

 This species is hitherto only known from Para and the Rio Madeira, ranging 

 southwards as far as Cidade de Mattogrosso, Rio (Juapor^.]
