BIRD LIFE IN THE URUBAMBA VALLEY OF PERU. 77 



In the light of -this material two specimens from La Morelia, in 

 eastern Colombia"*^ may perhaps better be referred to V. Ji. orenocensis 

 Berlepsch and Hartert which, on the basis of two specimens from 

 the upper Orinoco, appears to be merely a small form of Mlaris. 

 Two adult males from Peru and Bolivia, both lack the "fulvous 

 yellow" on the neck, whitish line under the eye and whitish ante- 

 ocular spot, the absence of which is said to distinguish the Orinoco 

 form. Unfortunately no specimens of ruficeps are available.

An adult male is referred to this species of which I have seen no 

 authentic specimens. It is considerably darker than Malherbe's 

 plate.

(1818) SCYTALOPUS ACUTIKOSTRIS Tschudl. 



Scytalopus acutirostris Tschudi, Arch, fur Naturg., 1844, p. 282 (Peru). 



While certain species of the genus Scytalopus differ from each other 

 but slightly, they have, nevertheless, most extended ranges. S. niger, 

 for example, ranges from Chile to Colombia (though there must be 

 many breaks in its distribution); S. microjHerus, with but slight 

 change, from Bolivia to Colombia. Specimens for comparison have
