Panza and Guagua Pichincha, six ex. of both sexes. Tungi: 
irides hazel; gizzards contained “insects, caterpillars, and grubs. 
Found on every part of the Paramo: a very active bird; tame on 
our first arrival.” 
This apparently new species of Cinclodes is the largest of the genus 
that I am at present acquainted with, rather exceeding in dimensions 
Upucerthia dumetoria, an aberrant member of the same group. In 
its thick but curved beak it is somewhat intermediate between the two 
forms. U. andicola of D’Orbigny’s ‘ Voyage’ appears to be much 
smaller, the wings only measuring 90 mm. (about 3:0 inches), instead 
of 4°8. 
20. CINCLODES ALBIDIVENTRIS, sp. nov. 
Supra fumoso-brunneus, uropygium versus rufescentior, linea 
superciliart et ciliis oculorum albidis: alis nisi in duabus pri- 
mariis externis, cinnamomeo-rufis, fascia duplici et altera termi- 
nali nigricantibus, tectrictbus minoribus dorso concoloribus : 
cauda dorso concolore, sed rectricum externarum apicibus extus 
cinnamomeis : subtus lactescenti-albus, gutture clariore, pec- 
tore fusco variegato: lateribus et crisso fulvescentibus : rostro 
et pedibus nigris. 
Long. tota 7:0, alee 3°8, caudze 2°5, rostri a rictu 0°9, tarsi 1-2. 
Hab. In Monte Chimborazo reipubl. Equator. ad alt. 14-000 
pedum.

Panza, Tungi Chico, four ex., all 2. “ Irides hazel ; gizzards con- 
tained insects and caterpillars.” 
This Cinclodes is of the same size as C. vulgaris, C. patachonicus, 
and C. antarcticus, and belongs to the same group. It may be di- 
stinguished by the paler colouring below, -being almost white on the 
belly, and the deeper, almost chestnut-red colour, of the base of the 
intermediate primaries.
