40. Attila sclateri Lawr. 
Rare. One specimen. . 
Fam. DENDROCOLAPTIDZ. 
41. Synallaxis pudica Scl. 
Abundant. This bird has habits remarkably similar to those of wrens. 
It is generally found hopping about in thick bushes or brush heaps. 
Its song alsois like that of a wren, being loud, varied, and melodious, 
while the other members of its family, so far as I have been able to as- 
certain, are very silent birds, having no musical notes at all. 
Tris reddish. 
*42, Automolus pallidigularis Lawr. 
Not common. Onespecimen shot in thick forest. 
43. Glyphorhynchus cuneatus (Licht.). 
Common. A silent bird, always found in the deepest parts of the

specimens.

One specimen killed in dense forest. 
Fam. FORMICARIIDA.

g (No. 91235, Los Sébalos, Nicaragua, May 8, 1883; C. C. Nutting). Wing, 2.85, 
tail, 2.55, culmen, .70, width of bill at base, .35, depth, .17; tarsus, .55 ; middle toe, .30. 
Q (No. 91234, same locality and collector, May 2, 1883). Wing, 2.80; tail, 2.45; 
culmen, .67; width of bill, .35; depth, .17; tarsus, .50; middle toe, .30. 
In coloration this species comes nearest to C. schotti, but has the throat and ventral 
region much more nearly white and the pectoral region less olivaceous. The dimen- 
sions are nearly the same, except that the bill is larger and more depressed. In the 
character of the bill there is a close resemblance to the several West Indian forms of 
this species, especially C. bahamensis, and to C. punensis of Western Ecuador, but the: 
species is clearly distinct. 
* Judging from the material in the National Museum collection, there is a very 
marked difference between specimens of Cymbilanius from Central America, as far 
south, at least, as Panama, and those from Eastern South America. The Museum 
unfortunately possesses but a single skin from South America, an adult 2 (No. 32823) 
from Cayenne; but this is decidedly different from four northern females. The 
chief difference consists in the much narrower light bars on the upper parts, these 
being also much paler in color, or fulyous-white (nearly pure white on the tail), in-
