and wings, of which there are no traces in the other bird, though I 

 have some doubt whetlier this may not be due to the individual not 

 being fuUy adult.

 sordide flavescenti-grisea et crisso darius f errugineo , necnon rostro 

 forti dignoscendus. (Cab. 1. c.)

Mus. Berol. 



I examined the type of this species when at Berlin, and was rather 

 doubtful about its real distinctness from the preceding. I possess a 

 specimen very much resembling it, as far as I can recollect and can 

 gather from Cabanis' description. The bill of this exainple is not 

 thicker than in one specimen of S. gularis, but is uniform black, and 

 the back and wings are olive-green as in that in the Berlin INIuscum. 

 But I think it is probable that this may be an immature stage of 

 -S. gularis.

M. d'Orbigny found this species very common in the environs of 

 Enquisivi, in the province of Sicasica, and near Palca, in the province 

 of Ayupaya in Bolivia. Mr. Bridges' specimens in the British 

 Museum are also from Bolivia. It is a well-marked bird, and not 

 likely to be confounded with any of its congeners.
