Very similar to C. scolopax, from which it differs in having the 

 neck and posterior part of the head not distinctly rufescent with 

 dusky bars, but greyish, and the upper parts with finer vermicula- 

 tions ; the lower parts are usually more whitish ; the flanks more 

 or less brightly rufous. 



Adult male. Forehead slaty grey, changing into brown on the 

 occiput ; sides of the head greyish ; throat white, in some specimens 

 tinged with grey ; neck greyish ohve-brown with obsolete vermi- 

 culations ; mantle and back chestnut-brown, changing into olive- 

 grey on the rump, upper tail-coverts, and wings ; all the upper 

 parts finely vermiculated with narrow dusky lines ; breast and 

 sides greyish olive, more or less vermiculated with narrow dusky 

 lines ; middle of the breast and abdomen uniform whitish or 

 whitish buff ; flanks more or less brightly rufous and with cres- 

 centic narrow brown bars, sometimes obsolete or wanting ; under 

 tail-coverts rufescent, with the centres and crescentic narrow bars 

 black, the tips pale buff ; primaries slaty grey ; secondaries more 

 or less olive-grey, vermiculated with dusky lines on the outer web ; 

 under wing-coverts grey, the marginal ones darker, the last row 

 paler, the central whitish freckled with grey ; tail olive-rufous, 

 vermiculated with dusky lines. Total length about 13 inches, 

 wing 7"2, tail 2-6, culmen 1-15, tarsus 1-9-2. 



A specimen from San Paulo, belonging to the San Paulo Museum, 

 has been sent to Graf von Berlepsch by von Jhering for identifica- 

 tion : this has the flanks of a very bright uniform rufous, with no 

 bars whatever ; the under tail-coverts are also bright rufous, but 

 with irregularly crescentic narrow black bars, and the tail-feathers 

 of a dark rufous brown, freckled with irregular dusky lines.

* Pcztis Japura, figured with yellow legs, seems very different from Tem- 

 minck's plate of T. vermiculattts !
