 the Leyden Museum.

33. GRALLARICULA. 



Type. 



Grallaricula, Scl. P. Z. S. 1858, p. 283 G, flavirostris. 



Under this head, as the term implies, I place the smallest and 

 weakest forms of Grallaria, which in external appearance are not 

 unlike Conopopliaga. Their internal structure has yet to be ascer- 

 tained. 



The species assigned to this genus extend from Costa Rica over 

 the northern portion of South America to Guiana and Ecuador.
