Grallaria intermedia. 



A single specimen ^2so. 020. c . Museo Xacioual de Costa Eica, 

 Jimenez. April, 1SS6, A. Alfaro) agiees exactly with Mr. Eidgway's 

 type. As stated by Mr. Eidgway (Proc. U. S. National Museum, Yi, 

 p. 406), intermedia "represents a very distinct form," readily distin- 

 guished by the lighter ochraceous of the breast, sides, flanks, and 

 crissum : by the broad black striatians on the breast : a distinct black 

 rictal stripe, and rufous tips to the wing-coverts. T i om perspici (lata it 

 is easilv distinguished bv the lack of black streaks on the flanks. 



Grallaria dives. 



A young bird of this species has the head and back much darker 

 than in adults, and a few feathers, evidently of the first downy plumage, 

 are dusky chestnut. The wing coverts are faintly tipped with the same 

 color. Below, the white of the middle of the belly and the throat is 

 stronfflv washed with ochraceous.
