These specimens agree very well with Temminck's descrip- 

 tion and figure of H. rufomarginatus, and also with the 

 examples of the species in the collection of the British 

 Museum. I agree, therefore, with Dr. Ihering and Mr. 

 C. W. Richmond that Dendrooecia erythroptera of Bertoni 

 must be placed as a synonym of the present species. 



[Like the preceding and about as abundant. — IV. F.~\ 



84. FOEMICIVORA MALURA. 



Myothera malura Temm. PI. Col. ii. pi. 353. figs. 1 & 2 

 (1825 : Ypanema). 



Furmicivora malura Sclater, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xv. p. 254; 

 Sharpe, Hand-list B. iii. p. 26 (1901). 



This specimen agrees very well with Temminck's figure, 

 and also with another example in the National Collection 

 from Ypanema, collected by Nattercr. The species is new 

 to the avifauna of Paraguay. 



85. Cham^esa brevicauda. 



Turdus brevicaudus Vieill. N. Diet. d'Hist. xx. p. 239

a. ? ad. Sapucay, June 10, 1904. 



Bill, tarsi, and feet pale pink ; iris brown. 



This example is identical with others in the National 

 Collection from Eastern Brazil, and the species is recorded 

 here for the first time from Paraguay. 



[A rare bird with us, living solitary in the large forests. 

 In habits this species is identical with the Thrushes, 

 and in the dim light and thick undergrowth of the woods it 

 is not easily to be distinguished from them. — W. F.]
