Genus ORTALIS Merrem

 =0r talis guttata adspersa (von Tschudi). See Friedmann and Deignan, 



Zoologica, New York, 27: 49, 1942. 

 41932. Adult (sex not indicated). Peru. Collected by Johann J. von 



Tschudi. Received from the Neuchatel Museum. 

 This form was described from an undisclosed nimiber of cotypes. Heil- 

 mayr and Conover (Catalogue of birds of the Americas 1: 165, 1942) state 

 categorically "type in Neuchatel Museum," but this must be in error, since 

 von Berlepsch and Heilmayr (Journ. fiir Orn. 53: 6-20, 1905) mention no 

 specimen seen by them there. At least one other cotype, received as part 

 of the Salvin-Godman Collection, is preserved in the British Museum.

No indication was given by Ridgway of the number of specimens before 

 him, but a study of museum records shows that there were probably at least 

 eight. Of these, four have the data too incomplete to have been wholly use-
