 color, the u[)per tail-coverts inclining to raw umber 5 outer webs of tail- 

 featliers plain bistre, inner webs more dusky brown ; lesser wiug-coverts

 into black subterminally, their tips rather broadly and sharply tawny; 

 outer surface of secondaries warm brown (between bistre and vandyke), 

 the outer webs of primaries brighter or tnore russet. Lores and whole 

 of the orbits naked, the naked space extending almost to the occiput, 

 with the posterior extremity pointed. AW the feathering below this 

 naked space, as well as along the posterior half of its upper margin, 

 together with chest, deep tawny, the remaining lower parts similar but 

 l^aler, changing on sides to olive, and on under tail-coverts to mixed 

 olive and tawny. Bill dusky (l)luish in lifef); legs and ieet grayish 

 dusky (bluish in life ?), the claws light horn gray. Length (skin), G.2."); 

 wing, 3.00; tail, 2.25; culmen, 0.83; bill from nostril, 0.50; tarsus, 1.15; 

 middle toe, 0.78. 



Young male (No. 120194, same locality, date, etc.) : Simdar to the 

 adult female, but top of head and hind neck rather duller brown, the 

 middle and greater wing coverts without trace of tawny, and the tawny 

 which covers solidly the exposed surface of the lesser coverts lighter 

 in color. Length (skin), (J.IO; wing, 2.90; tail, 2.40; culmen, 0.90; 

 bill from nostril, 0.49; tarsus, 1.15; middle toe, 0=75. 



4. Grallaria guatemalensis Prevost ? 



A young male (supposed to be this species) is very different from the 

 adult, as shown by the following description : 



Young (No. 120198, U. S. National Museum, Santa Ana, Honduras, 

 October 24, 1890; Erich Wittkugel): Top of head and hind neck dark 

 slate-color, each feather marked near end with a tear-shaped streak of 

 pale buff — the slate-color considerably darker, or approaching black, 

 immediately about these markings ; throat, chest, and breast similarly 

 colored and marked, but slate-color rather lighter and bufty streaks 

 longer, extending al«)ng the shafts of the feathers nearly to their base; 

 lower breast marked with large, somewhat ])andurate, spots of buff. 

 Rest of plumage as in the adult (except wing-coverts more distinctly 

 spotted), the feathers having been molted and those of the adult dress 

 assumed. 



Oil account of lacking specimens of the latter and authentic speci- 

 mens of tlie young of the former, I am unable to determine whether 

 this specinieu sliould be referred to G. guufeniulensis or to G. jf^'i^ceps 

 Scl. and Salv., the form which replaces it in Costa Rica and Veragua. 



The following si)ecies may be mentioned on account of the locality : 



(1) f^pinns notatus (Du Bus). Six specimens, Santa Ana, December 

 23, 1890. ! 



(2) Dives dives (Bonap.). Guaruma, January 23, 1891.
