 length 8-5 inches, wing 4-3, tail 3-8. Female similar. Younfj more 

 or less tinged with olive above and below. 



Hah. Lower Amazonia, Peru, and Ecuador. 



The Lower Amazonian skins are mostly rather paler in colouring, 

 but cannot, I think, be separated from the Peruvian bird, which 

 Mr. Salvin and I have sometimes referred to as S. azarce. The 

 species also comes very near to 8. olivasccns, but may be distinguished 

 by its darker cinereous colour above and on the breast.
