I am much perplexed about this bird, which, in 1871, Mr. Salvin 

 and I agreed to regard as the young of S. olivascens. But MM. 

 Berlepsch and Taczanowski are quite opposed to this view, and cer- 

 tainly, judging from the specimens in Messrs. Salvin and Godman's 

 series from Puna, it would seem to be more correct to place this species 

 next to *S. albicollis. In fact it is difficult to detect much difference 

 between specimen h of the subjoined list and some examples of 

 S. albicollis.
