and Cotingidae. Though laterally seen, it looks somewhat like the bill of Scoto- 

 t/iorus, on account of tiie well develoiied ridge on the cuhneu, its great width and 

 strong rictal bristles make it resemble the bills of certain TyraMiidae. The nostrils 

 appear to be qnite round. The feathers of the lores are directed forward, and the 

 feathers of the crown are somewhat elongated, suggesting a slight crest. The 

 iilnmafe gcnei-allv is rich, soft, and loose. The distal halves of the outer webs of 

 the outer primaries have the tips of the barbs slightly recurved or hooked, but 

 not stiffened. 



The single specimen, marked ? , is above uniform olive-green. The quills are 

 blackish brown, outer webs margined with olive-green above, inner webs margined 

 with pale greenish buff towards the base. Tail blackish brown, widely margined 

 with the colour of the liack. Underside olive-green, but much lighter and more 

 vellowisli than the upper surface. The bases of all the feathers are light grey. 

 These bases are more extended and show through on the sides of the body, but 

 this may be partially due to the somewhat abraded tips. Thighs and under 

 wing-coverts olive-green. 



A single example, No. 141, marked ?, evidently fully adult, was obtained ou 

 the Rio Sapayo in N.W. Ecuador, November 2nd, 1901, by Mr. Miketta, one of 

 Mr. F. W. H. Rosenberg's correspondents in South America, who has discovered 

 several other fine novelties in Ecuador. The iris is said to be reddish brown, feet 

 grey, bill black, grey underneath. The total length is about 1.50, wing 85, tail 

 60, metatarsus Ki, the middle toe 14, hind toe 11, the cnlmen from base 17, from 

 end of feathering about 12, nostrils to tip 10, width at base 11 mm. 



On the label the collector states, that the bird had two eggs, but unfortunately 

 they were not sent. 



Whether the male will be of the same colour as the female is of course 

 impossible to say.
