22. MyRMOTHERULA MENETRIESI (D’Orb.)? 
A male and two females, apparently referable to this species of 
the section embracing M. azillaris and its allies. *‘ Irides hazel ; 
gizzard contained insects.” 
23. DysirHAMNUS MENTALIS (Temm.)? 
Many specimens of this bird, apparently hardly different from 
Brazilian examples. 
24. PacuyRHAMPHUS ——? 
A female of a species belonging to the group containing P. mar- 
ginatus,—perhaps of P. dorsocinereus.

Four ex. gd and 2, “‘Irides orange; bill black above, blue 
below; legs and feet green ; gizzard contained the bodies of Land- 
Mollusks.” 
The males of this bird do not quite agree with the example from 
Bogota, now in the British Museum, from which my figure was 
taken (P. Z.S. 1855, pl. civ.), the head being purely black without 
yellow markings, and the wings shorter. The latter is the case in the 
female specimens also. If they are different, it would be difficult ~ 
to decide which is Tschudi’s bird without actual comparison of spe- 
cimens, particularly as the females are coloured alike.

vol. xvii. p. 467. 
Chillanes, one ex. “‘ Esparagun: irides hazel ; bill, legs, and feet 
red ; gizzard contained a small green fruit.” 
This example seems to agree with Venezuelan specimens, and to 
be different from the Bogota bird (P. riefferi), though more of a 
local race than a species. 
27. CEPHALOPTERUS PENDULIGER, Sclater, P.Z.S. 1859, p.142. 
Mr. Fraser has now sent a large series of this fine bird, both of 
males and females. In the females the throat-lappet is quite small, 
not exceeding + of an inch in length, and the crest-feathers are very 
little developed. The dimensions are generally smaller. Other 
names for this bird, besides Bocinero, are according to Mr. Fraser’s 
notes, Trompetero and Muchilero. One example, “when shot, drew 
the whole of the neck-appendage into one bunch close up to his 
throat. It was in company with a Cacique (Ostinops atrovirens).” 
Again Mr. Fraser says, ‘The appendage seems generally held in a 
bunch like a rose under the throat, and to fall after death.”
