 Four skins, all marked " c?," shot at Bnli'in in N.W. Ecuador, 1(5(1 i't. liijib, 

 on November 13th, 14th, and 17th, appear to bcdong to a qnite new species, or 

 subspecies of the (.'entral American AiiUa riifcsrenn. Tiiey ditfer from the mah' of 

 the latter as follows : 



The cinnamon colour is slightly dee])er. There are no blackish bars on the 

 Tinder side, and no deep black s])ots whatever. (In two or three of the specimens 

 dusky tips to the feathers (if the breast can be traced, but they are rather obsolete.) 

 There are no purplish black tips to the larger under tail-coverts, and no deep black 

 edges to the median and greater series of upper wing-coverts. Size generally less. 

 The lesser wing-coverts are uniform bright cinnamon, the crown more or less 

 tinged with dusky grey. The flank tufts are bright yellow, not reddish-orange as in 

 thej'emales of Aiilia ri/J'escens. This is important as it dispels any doubt that 

 these specimens are incorrectly sexed. Otherwise it might be observed that the 

 female of A. rufescensis very similar to ^1. te?iia indeed, though it is distinctly, if 

 faintly, burred on the breast. " Iris dark brown, feet greenish grey (grey, dark grey), 

 bill blackish above, whitish below." 



The genus Aulia appears to be quite new to the Ecuadorian fauna. (Type of 

 Au/ifi tertid : No. 02, Bnlun, 17. xi. IIMIO.)

 Since recording " Latliria unirufa " as occurring in Ecuador we have received 

 two more specimens, and 1 now find that they are much darker above, more 

 chestnut (Mntiamon, wiiile typical uninifug from Central America have the back

Very much like A. braziliensis braziliensis, but much more tinged with yellow

 more yellow-greeu, edges to the wing-coverts narrower. Kumj) clear sulphur- 

 yellow. Differs from .1. uro/ii/^/iitlis (British ftuiana) in being niucli greener on 

 head and back and on throat and breast, much clearer yellow on rnmp and upper 

 tail-coverts, and with much narrower edges to the upper wing-coverts: AV'ings 83, 87,
