Since writing my description of the genus Aramides, the Museum 

 has received from Messrs. Salvin and Godman two examples of this 

 species, which had previously been unknown to me. I find that it 

 is a dark form of A. albiventris, with a ruddy mantle and deep 

 chestnut breast, without a perceptibly lighter abdomen. Total 

 length 14 inches, culmen 2-35, wing 7"2, tail 1-95, tarsus 3-05.
