of neck and breast and larger abdominal area ; outer tail feathers 

 with small apical whitish tips. 



Measurements of type. — Wing, 61 ; tail, 385; culmen, 21. 



Remarks. — This species is based on eleven specimens from the 

 type locality. It appears to be quite distinct from the known mem- 

 bers of the genus but has a close superficial resemblance on the upper 

 parts to E. aurelicu but the colors are brighter than in that species, 

 Its entirely buffy, and not very fluffy, leg puffs are a strong character.
