Rallidse 



Pardirallus rytirhynchus rytirhynchus (Vieill.). One adult d\ 

 Huancabamba, August 22. 



The only specimen secured was taken near the Plaza of the little village 

 of Sondor, a suburb or outlying town of Huancabamba. A number of 

 rails, probably all referable to this species were observed in the meadows of 

 an affluent of the Huancabamba River, but none of these could be secured. 

 A little later a pair of rails were seen feeding with some of the village 

 chickens in a slough near the plaza. One of these was singled out from 

 the chickens and shot. 



Charadriidse. 



Ptiloscelys resplendens (Tschudi). Three adults, one male, two 

 females, Lake Warinja, August 18. At this point the plover was abun- 

 dant, but was seen at none of the many other high lakes visited. 



Scolapacidse. 



Actitis macularia (Linn.). One adult d* , Huancabamba, August 27. 

 Seen now and then along the stony bed of the Huancabamba River through- 

 out the month of August. 



Columbidge. 



Chloroenas oenops (Salvin). One adult 9, Perico, September 11. 

 Apparently rare in northwestern Peru, as only one or two small flocks 

 were seen. These frequented the banks of a deep river valley, and were 

 very shy. 



Zenaida auriculata pallens subsp. nov. 



Four adults, both sexes, Sullana and Huancabamba, August. 



Type from Huancabamba, northwestern Peru, adult d\ No. 80019 

 M. C. Z. Collected August 22, 1916, by G. K. Noble. 



Characters, similar to Z. auriculata auriculata (Des Murs) but upper parts 

 slightly paler and grayer; under parts much paler, the vinaceous of neck 

 and chest much lighter and more pinkish; lower breast, belly, sides and 

 under tail coverts pale pinkish buff — almost whitish.
