Phaethornis boliviana, Gould, Intr. Troch. p. 42. 

 Phaethornis superciliosus, Scl. i^- Salv. P. Z. S. 1879, p. 626. 



Adult. Very similar to that of P. longirostris, but rather smaller, 

 aud the under plumage fawn-colour and less grey ; the outer rec- 

 trices are tipped with deep buff, in this respect resembling more 

 southern examples of P. longirostris. Total length about 5-5 inches, 

 wing 2-2 ; tail 2-5, lateral rectrices 0-9 ; bill I'S. 



In our review of the genus Phaetliornis, Mr. Elliot and I con- 

 sidered P. bolivianus, Gould, to be inseparable from P. longirostris, 

 and we doubted the authenticity of the locality ascribed to the type 

 of Gould's description. Several specimens of a Phaethornis obtained 

 by Buckley in Bolivia agree with the type of P. bolivianus, so that 

 the locality given by Gould is fully conBrmed. The slight dif- 

 ferences existing between these birds and typical P. longirostris thus 

 assume greater importance, seeing that the ranges of the two birds 

 are separated by a -wT-de interval, the intervening country being 

 apparently occupied by P. superciliosus. 



Specimen /I include herewith some doubt. It is larger than 

 typical P. bolivianus, but has the under plumage deep fawn-colour. 

 It is marked as coming from Brazil on the authority of a Mr. Camp- 

 bell.
