. 1. TURDUS SWAINSONI. 



This little Thrush we only met with on one occasion, in a 

 wood at Herradura. 



. 2 TURDUS GIGAS. 



Frequents the outskirts of woods at an altitude of from 8000 

 to 9000 feet. We first met with it about a day's journey from 

 Ocaiia. Just under the paramo of Pamplona it was not an 

 uncommon species. Iris brown. 



3. TuRDUS EURYZONUS*. 



We only met with this rare Thrush in one locality, in the 

 dense forest on the summit of the mountain-chain between the 

 Magdalena and Ocana. There, however, it was not an uncom- 

 mon bird, but, owing to the density of the vegetation, it is dif- 

 ficult to obtain specimens. We often saw it sitting on the 

 bough of some tree within a few yards of us ; but there was no 

 chance of finding it if we shot it. Locality Alto. Altitude 

 5000-6000 feet. 



4. TuRDUS ALBIVENTRISf. 



We shot this species by the side of little streams, where there 

 were a few trees and bushes, between Ocaiia and La Cruz, and 

 again met with it in the Cocuta valley. Altitude 5000-4000 

 feet. Iris brown. 



. 5. MiMUS MELANOPTERUS. 



This was the first bird we saw in the Mimosa thicket at the 

 back of Santa Marta. It generally chooses one of the highest 

 boughs for a perch, and there displays its power of song and 

 mimicry. At Ocana and in the adjoining mountain-regions it 

 was equally common. Iris brown. 



• 6. CiNCLUS LEUCONOTUS. 



The head-waters of those streams of the Cordillera which have

 described by Sclater, P. Z. S. 1857, p. 273, and figured in ' The Ibis ' for 

 1861, p. 277, pi. viii. as Turdus fuhiventris. We are not sure that Du Bus's 

 plate was ever really published ; but as it exists in the Zoological Society's 

 copy of this work, we give Du Bus's name priority. — P. L. S. & 0. S.]
