deep rufous on the upper tail-coverts; tail chestnut; wing-quills chest- 

 nut along the shafts, dull rufous exteriorly, shading basally into buf! 

 on their inner margins, and broadly tipped with fuscous; superior 

 Tving-coverts rufescent olive-brown like the back; sides of head and 

 neck olive-browm mixed with ochraceous, the lores paler, and a notice- 

 able postocular stripe dull ochraceous; chin buff, shading gradually 

 into the raw-umber hrovm of the remainder of the lower surface; 

 jugulum wdth broad spots and shaft streaks of dull ochraceous; longest 

 lower tail-coverts rufous; lining of wing ochraceous. Wing, 99, tail, 

 75, exposed culmen, 21, tarsus, 25, middle toe, 16.5, 



A local form of rather restricted distribution, specimens of which 

 have been examined from only Yucatan and Campeche, IMexico, those 

 from the latter locality being, however, indistinguishable from Yucatan 

 examples. The type of Dendrocinda anahatina anahatina came from 

 Omoa, Hondm-as, and although this is not far from the eastern part 

 of Yucatan, yet a specimen seen from La Puerta, Honduras, near the 

 type locahty, is decidedly different from tijphla, and indistinguishable 

 from those taken in Guatemala, while one from Santa Ana, Honduras, is 

 still darker. This, therefore, fixes anahatina as the dark form, leaving 

 the Yucatan bird to be supphed with a name, as above. 

 Dendrocinda fuliginosa (Vieillot).

Type Locality. — Cayenne, French Guiana. 



Geographical Distribution. — Lower Amazonia, south to Bahia, north 

 to British Guiana. 



Similar to D. atrirostris, from which, however, it may readily be dis- 

 tinguished by its much more olivaceous coloration both above and 

 below, as well as its lack of pale shaft streaks on the feathers of the 

 pileum. Its olivaceous colors separate it from also D. anahatina ana- 

 hatina, and in other respects it differs from this form much as D. atri- 

 rostris does. Mr. Ridgway's Dendrocinda rufo-olivacea; which imfor- 

 tunately he was unable to compare ^-ith authentic examples of fuligi- 

 nosa, seems to be identical with D. fuliginosus, as some time ago con- 

 sidered by Sclater;^ so that unless more abundant material should 

 prove it a recognizable geographical race occupying the Amazon valley
