271. Makgarornis perlata (Less.). 

 Maryarornis perlata Scl. Cat. Birds, xv. p. 121. 



Three males and three females from Pichincha, West 

 Ecuador, and a similar series from Papallacta, East Ecuador, 

 at altitudes above 11,000 feet, where we found them 

 frequenting the scanty bushes growing in the more sheltered 

 "quebradas" or volcanic rents on the bleak mountain-sides. 

 The bushes are thickly covered with moss, among which 

 these birds hunt for their insect-prey. Those from the 

 Eastern Andes appear to have slightly longer tails. 



272. Margarornis guttata Lawr. 

 Margarornis guttata Scl. Cat. Birds, xv. p. 123. 



One male from Pichincha, and a male and female from 

 Papallacta. The two last-named specimens vary somewhat 

 from the western by being more reddish brown about the 

 lower part of the bieast and vent; the throat is lighter, of a 

 dirty white, and the whole of the back more speckled. Like 

 M. perlata, this bird frequents the weather-beaten moss- 

 covered trees in the " quebradas." 



273. Glypuorhynciius cuneatus (Licht.). 



A male and a female from the forests of Santo Domingo. 



274. Dendrocincla tyrannina Lafr. 

 One male from Nanegal, West Ecuador. 



275. Dendrocincla olivacea Lawr. 

 Dendrocincla olivacea Scl. Cat. B. xv. p. IdG. 

 A male and a female from Santo Domingo. 



276. Dendrocincla sp. inc. 



A female from the Coca, Upper Napo. This species is 

 closely allied to D. longicauda, but is much smaller. 



277. Dendrocolaptes radiolatus Scl. & Salv. 

 A male from Archidona, East Ecuador. 



278. Dendrocolaptes validus (Tseh.). 



One male from Baeza, East ]']cuador. Maxilla horn- 

 coionred ; mandible yellowish horn-coloured.
