52 Mr. R. B. Sharpc on the Genus Glaucidium. 



lent mc by ]\Ir. Salviu : one is a cinnamon bird witli striped 

 head, and has a few longitudinal markings remaining on the 

 tail ; the other is a female of the ochraceous-brown form, the 

 spots being very distinct on the whole of the upper surface, 

 thus agreeing with the specimen mentioned by Mr. Ridgway 

 (p. 103).

Amazonia. Messrs. Salvin and Godman own a specimen 

 from the ''Amazon/^ obtained from the Maison Verreaux. It 

 is difficult to know what country would be intended by a 

 French agent by such a locality ; but the bird is one of the 

 immature ferruginous Owls with uniform tail and clouded 

 brown head, very similar to the young Trinidad specimen 

 before noticed. 



Brazil. From this rather comprehensive locality I have a 

 large series representing three forms, viz. the true grey-plu- 

 maged G. infuscatum of Ridgway and authors, the real G. 

 ferrugineum of Prince Max., with uniform cinnamon tail, of 

 which Mr. Ridgway seems only to have seen one specimen 

 (p. 101), and, lastly, the ochraceous brown form with white- 

 spotted tail, like the Santa-Marta specimens above mentioned. 

 From Bahia the Museum has both forms, rufous and grey, 

 collected by the late Dr. Wucherer. Only two specimens of 

 the ferruginous form have any traces of bars on the tail.
