 beneath greyish brown, with conspicuous narrow whitish shaft- 

 stripes on the neck, breast, and bell}', which become smaller and less

 the base of the lower mandible : whole length 7 inches, wing 3-5,

Hub. Costa Rica (Monte Redondo). 



Mr. Ridgway has kindly sent me for examination the type of 

 this new species, and authorized me to take a description of it. It is 

 quite distinct from any Picolaptes known to me, and easily recog- 

 nizable by its small size, short bill, and dark greyish-brown breast, 

 with conspicuous narrow shaft-spots of nearly pure white edged 

 with black. The stripes of the head are continued down over the 

 upper half of the back as in P. compress ns, but the darker colour 

 and the striping beneath are quite different. 



14. Picolaptes fuscicapillus.
