RALLUS LONGIROSTRIS. 267 
but the colour of the breast is about the same. The late- 
ral under tail-coverts are almost entirely white, with very 
large terminal spots of brown, the median under tail- 
coverts being barred with white and brown. 
These are the notes which I made without having a se- 
ries of specimens for comparison, but whichever the race 
here described may turn out to be, it is certainly an 
extension of range to the southward of one of the West 
Indian forms.

A young bird from Santiago differs from the adult in 
being browner, with a shorter bill, and having whitish 
cheeks and throat. The under surface is ashy grey, over- 
shaded with brown; under tail-coverts isabelline brown 
with black centres.

The range of this species extends from Southern Brazil 
to Peru and north to Colombia. I find a specimen in the 
Museum from Surinam.

In my remarks upon Mallus jouaji, Stejneger, I have 
endeavoured to show that the characters put forward by 
Dr. Stejneger were not sufficiently born out by our series 
in the British Museum. I have, therefore, carefully exami- 
ned the series in the Leyden Museum, and find my con- 
clusions confirmed. 
Specimens »with white bars and white spots on the 
primary-coverts well developed” are in the collection from 
Java, Sumatra, Cochin China and China and specimens with 
few spots »are from Java, Sumatra, and Lugon.” 
A specimen »with no spot” is in this collection from Java.
