Dr. Pfeifl'er en-s gi-eatly in regarding tliis as a variety of 

 the preceding species ; it has certainly a general resemblance 

 to it, but, as an attentive comparison of the foregoing 

 descriptions wdl show, it is specihcally distinct throughout.

Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1836, p. 44. 



Hab. Ambo, near Huanueo, Peru; Sir Alexander Crichton. 

 The channel of the base of this remarkable species, of 



which this is, I believe, the only specimen known, is thought 



by Mr. Broderip to be a distortion.
