Under the head of Buarremon, I place a series of about thirty- 

 five species, generally recognizable by their rather elongated conical 

 bill, with the tip pointed and the culmen slightly incurved, short 

 wings, and only moderately strong feet. The plumage is generally 

 dull, of olive-grey and yellowish, and the sexes ar6 alike. 



Buarremon ranges over the whole Tanagrine area of Central and 

 South America, from Mexico to Bolivia and Southern Brazil, but 

 is especially an Andean type. 



The eggs of B. elaopronis obtained by Salmon in Antioquia are of 

 a reddish white, thickly blotched and spotted with red and lilac. 



I will treat of this extensive group under two subgenera : — 



I. BUAEBEMON. 



This section embraces the larger and stronger species, with a larger 

 and more elongated bill, longer tail, and stronger feet, to suit their 

 terrestrial habits. 



II. Pipilopsis. 



The members of this group, distinguished by their shorter bill and 

 smaller feet, are said by M. Stolzmann (P.Z. S. 1880, p. 197) to be 

 exclusively aiboreal in their habits.
