middle of the featlier and extend to tlie tip itself. The ter- 

 tiaries show broader margins of soiled white. The medium- 

 sized and the longest of the upper wing-coverts are marked 

 on their tips with large fulvous-yellow spots, presenting two 

 well-marked bands on the wing-coverts. Bill and feet dark 

 brown^ the mandible paler at the base below. 



The typical specimen was received with a lot of Bogota 

 skins forwarded by Mr. Edward Gerrard, jun., of London, 

 and shows the peculiar make of all skins prepared by the 

 Indians of that country. 



3. Attila griseigularis, sp. nov. 



A. cmereo simillimus, sed differt gula tota cum jugulo 



albo et griseo variegatis, pectore pallidius rufo^ abdo- 



mine toto citrino-fiilvo ; capite snpra clarius cinereo et 



hoc colore magis in dorsum producto ; dorso, uropygio 



caudaqne pallidius rufo-brunneis ; tectricibus caudse 



superioribus pallide fulvis. Long. al. 17, caud. 74, 



rostr. 37^, tars. 25^ mm. 



Habitat. Sta. Catharina, Brazil (?) (typ. in Mus. H. v. B.). 



My specimen^ which I got from Mr. F. F. G. Umlauff, of 



Hamburg, is labelled as coming from Sta. Catharina. A skin 



of Dendrocinc/a tnrdina (Licht.), of similar preparation, is 



also said to be from Sta. Catharina ; therefore I have little 



doubt that the habitat assigned is correct. 



Of A. cinereus (Gmel.) 1 have several skins from Bahiaand 

 one from Soiithern Brazil (Rio or S. Paulo?), all of which 

 have only the upper part of the throat (or chin) whitish, 

 variegated with dark grey ; while in the new sjiecies the whole 

 throat and jugulum to the breast are of this coloration, in 

 which the white more predominates. There are other points 

 of difference, which are expressed in the diagnosis.
