Mr. P. L. Sclater on the Genus Spermophila. 17 



thing more than a slight variety of the present species. Some 

 of the feathers of the belly are narrowly edged with ferruginous ; 

 but this may be only a remnant of the immature plumage.

Nigra, speculo alari albo : subtus alba : rostro robusto, rubro : 

 long, tota 5-3, alse 2-5, caudse 2*2. Fern. Fusca, alis cau- 

 daque obscurioribus : subtus alba, subrufescens. 



Hab. Bolivia, Moxos {D'Orb.). 



Mus. Paris. 



This is rather a rare species. Besides the five specimens in 

 the Paris Museum (all obtained by D'Orbigny), I have only seen 

 two. These are both males, in my own collection. The dia- 

 gnosis of the female is from one of D'Orbigny^s examples. 



22. Spermophila hypoleuca.

Cinerea ; speculo alari albo ; subtus alba : rostro robusto, rubro ; 

 long, tota 4-5, alse 2*3, caudse 2*0. Fem. Fusca, alis cau- 

 daque obscurioribus : subtus subrufescens, medialiter dilu- 

 tior : rostro corneo. 



Hab. S.E. Brazil, Campos (^wm.); B'dh\?L{Wucherer); S.Paulo, 

 Goyaz et Cuyaba {Natt.). 



This Finch is by no means uncommon in collections fi'om 

 Bahia, and appears to be widely diffused in South - eastern 

 Brazil. Temminck's figure (PL Col, 11. f. 1) certainly repre- 

 sents this species ; but Bonaparte's diagnosis of Sporophila 

 cinereola (Consp. p. 499) seems to have been intended for S. 

 grisea.
