 »Rare». »Makes holes in the hill-sides, comes out and suns 

 itself. Is supposed to sleep in the burrows at night.» (L. S.) 



Xenicopsis temporalis Sclater. — 2 (^<^, 2 ??, -74 & ^7?» 

 road to Mindo 6000 f. 



Margarornis perlata Less. — 5 (^(^, 3 ?$, March-Aug., 

 above Lloa, 11000 f. 



Dendrocincla tyrannina Lafr. — \ ^ ^Vs? Maspa below 

 Papallacta, 7000 i.\ \ S 'Vn, Baeza, road to Napo, 6000 f. 

 Both these specimens are exactly alike. Both show distinct 

 striations on foreneck and pileum. It is t hus evident t hat 

 the same race of this bird occurs on both sides of the Andes. 



Xiphocolaptes promeropirhynchus crassirostris Berl. & 

 Tacz. — 1 (^ "/g, Alonguinche South-side of Mojanda, 9000 f.; 

 1 c^ Viu 1 ? ""A? Piganta, western side of Mojanda, 8600 f. 

 The measurements of these specimens are as follows wing: 

 149, 142, 141 mm.; tail: 132, 127, 113 mm.; culmen 48, 45,5, 

 46 mm. 



Picolaptes lacrymiger cequatorialis Meneg. — 1 ^ ^/^, 1 9 

 Ve. 2 (^(^ ^Vg, road to Gualea 5500—6000 f.; 1 ? 73, below 

 Nono 6000 f., 1 $ '/„ MebH 7500 f. All these specimens are 

 exactly similar inter se. When compared with P. lacrymiger 

 from Bogota, Colombia, the most visible difference appears 

 to be the buffish tint to the throat and also to the stripes of 

 the lower parts, which are white in lacrymiger, The greater 

 breadth of the stripes of lacrymiger is most conspicuous on the 

 fore-neck and chest. 



Dr. Menegaux has kindly communicated to us the diagnose 

 of this subspecies, which otherwise had not been accessible.
