312 Mr. W. GooMeWoyv— Ornithological 



at intervals. This is the first specimen recorded from the 

 Eastern Andes. 



9. POLIOPTILA BILINEATA (Bp.). 



(S . Near Santo Domingo, W. Ecuador, 1000 feet. Shot 

 in a low bush near a stream. 



10. Campylorhynchus BREviROSTRis Lafr. (Sharpe, B. 

 M. C. B. vi. p. 198.) 



A good series of these birds from Santo Domingo, W. 

 Ecuador, altitude about 600 feet, where they were very 

 numerous at times in the low bushes around the huts. The 

 iris is bright red. The black spots on the under tail-coverts 

 seem to be partially or totally wanting in the females ; they 

 also have a wash of brown on the nape, and the feathers on 

 the crown are edged with a lighter grey than in the males. 



11. CiNNICERTHIA UNIBRUNNEA (Lafr.). 



Common at many localities on the Western Andes at 

 altitudes of from 10,000 to 12,000 feet, and also at Papal- 

 lacta on the Eastern range. One d from the latter locality 

 has some cream-coloured feathers above the nostrils, and 

 although we obtained a large series of both sexes, it is the 

 only one so marked. Four or five individuals were generally 

 seen together. 



12. CiNNICERTHIA OLivASCENs Sharpe. 

 Cinnicerthia olivascens Sharpe, B. M. C. B. vi. p. 184. 



2 cJ s, 1 $ . We met with this bird on the western side 

 of Pichincha only from 8000 to 9000 feet. It was not 

 nearly so numerous as the preceding species, and was seen 

 singly or in pairs. I see in my note-book I have recorded 

 that the call-note is different from that of C. imibrunnea, 

 but I do not remember now in what way. 



13. Henicorhina leucophrys (Tsch.). 



We ohtained a series from both the Eastern and Western 

 Andes at elevations of from 9000 to 11,500 feet, where the 

 birds hop about on the ground under the low bushes, and 

 as they are very active they are somewhat difficult to shoot. 

 Iris reddish brown.
