Above cinereous ; superciliary stripe ■whitish ; wings and tail 

 darker, edged with cinereous ; inner primaries and secondaries, ex- 

 cept the outer ones, crossed by a bar of pale cinnamomeous ; external 

 rectrices tipped with pale cinnamomeous white : beneath dirty white, 

 more or less overspread with ashy ; throat and middle of belly nearly 

 white ; bill and feet dark brown : whole length 7 inches, wing 4, 

 tail 3. Female similar. 



Hah. Andes of S. America, from Venezuela to Peru ; Chili, La 

 Plata, and Patagonia. 



After examining a full series of this bird, I am unable to give 

 decisive characters to separate C. albidiventris of Ecuador and the 

 north, C. rivularis of Peru, and C. minor of Chili from the typical 

 form of the Argentine Republic ( C. fuscus). The Argentine spe- 

 cimens are the darkest on the lower surface and C. rivularis much 

 the lightest, but Bolivian skins seem to be intermediate.
