Panza, one ex. “ Solitario ravo-blanco : irides hazel ; in gizzard 
a large white grub: common.” 
This is the finest and largest species of Agriornis I have yet seen. 
It exceeds in size 4. livida of the Chilian sea-coast, and possesses 
the striated throat of this species with the white tail of 4. soli- 
taria. 
24. AGRIORNIS SOLITARIA, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1858, p. 553. 
Quito, May. Solitario ravo-blanco. Two nests are forwarded 
by Mr. Fraser belonging to this bird. One was taken “from a mud 
wall,’’ the other from “ under a bridge passing over the Machangra.”’ 
They are cup-shaped, composed rather roughly of roots and tendrils, 
and lined with wool. The eggs are rather rounded in shape, white 
sparingly dotted, principally at the larger end, with red and pale 
purple. They measure 1°15 in long and ‘85 in short diameter. Mr. 
Fraser says that this bird frequents the tops of the houses in Quito, 
and is said to breed in the church-towers.

Panza, two ex. ‘‘ Solitario colorado: irides hazel ; bill, legs, and 
feet black ; food insects.” The bill of this species is much more 
feeble than in M. rufiventris and M. striaticollis, and the primaries 
are not emarginate at the tips.
