Adult. General colour above sooty bro-Nvn, with an oily green 

 gloss on the head and back, the rump and upper tail-coverts rather 

 paler brown ; wing- coverts and quills glossy brown ; tail slightly 

 forked, the leathers glossy brown ; lores velvety black ; ear-coverts 

 and sides of neck dark brown, the latter with a slight greenish gloss 

 like the head ; cheeks and entire under surface of body dark earthy 

 brown, a little darker on the under wing- and tail-coverts; thighs 

 white ; quills dusky brown below. Total length 4-1 inches, culmen 

 0-25, wing 3-3, tail 1-8, tarsus 0-4. 



A male from Antioquia (Salmon), in the Salvin-and-Godmau 

 collection, is moulting, and shows that the ncM' feathers on the head 

 and mantle and w ings are distinctly greenish black ; the under 

 surface is also deeper and more sooty brown ; and it is evident that 

 the paler coloration in some specimens is caused by the age and 

 abrasion of the feathers. 



Bah. From Panama and Colombia to Peru. Said to have come 

 from Brazil, but the locality requires confirmation.

 suppHed him by the Prince of Kcuwied years before the work of the latter was 

 publi.>hed.
