passed at various spots on the western slope of the Andes to the 
north and north-west of Quito. Of the birds collected there I have 
given an account in a separate paper. But I have added to the pre- 
sent list the names of the species obtained at Quito itself, and at the 
following localities, all of high elevation, and in its immediate vicinity : 
(1) Lloa, a small pueblo situate a few miles to the south-west of 
Quito on the side of Pichincha in a well-wooded district ; (2) Gua- 
pulo, at a somewhat lower elevation, one league to the north-east of 
Quito; (3) Guagua (old) Pichincha and Rucu (young) Pichincha, 
the names applied to two of the principal summits of that celebrated 
volcano, to which Mr. Fraser made excursions. 
1. THRYOTHORUS EUOPHRYS, sp. nov. 
Supra lete rufus, pileo summo fuscescente ; superciliis distinctis 
et elongatis cum macula suboculari albis: subtus pallide ru- 
Jescens ; gutture et pectore medio albis, mystacibus latis et 
pectoris plumarum marginibus nigris : rostro et pedibus plum- 
beis. 
Long. tota 6°5, alee 2°7, caudze 2:2, tarsi 1-0. 
Lloa, May 1859, one ex. “ Irides hazel; bill blue; culmen black; 
legs and feet blue.” 
This Wren belongs, like 7. mystacalis, from Pallatanga, to the 
group of 7’. coraya. It much resembles the former species, but has 
a longer, thinner, and more curved bill, a lighter plumage above, and 
black terminations to the breast-feathers, which are sufficient to 
distinguish it.

Many ex., Quito: “Very common in and about the city.” In 
May this Swallow was building under the eaves of the houses. The 
nest forwarded is a shallow structure, composed of moss and lined 
with a little wool. The egg is of a spotless white, 0°72 inch in length 
by about 0°51 in breadth, and has the usual character of birds of 
this group.
