" Iris seal ; feet plumbeous pea-green ; bill dusky drab-grey, below pale smoke- 

 grey." 



This quite distinct new species has a very long and powerful bill, agreeing in 

 form nearly with that of A. major, while in its coloration it resembles most 

 X promeropirhijnchus, differing, however, in its darker back, and the more rnfous 

 brown, less olivaceous tint of the lower parts of the body, as well as in the much 

 darker chestnut of its tail and wings. 



(A. emic/rans of Central America is smaller, and is easily distinguished by the 

 much lighter tail, while the colour of the upper surface is not so very different.)
