Furnarius agnatus endoecus subsp. nov. 



Type from Encontrados, Zulia, northwestern Venezuela (in heavily 

 forested region southwest of Lake Maracaibo). Adult female, No. 50546, 

 Field Museum of Natural History. Collected by M. P. Anderson, Novem- 

 ber 27, 1913. 



Description. — Similar to F. agnatus agnatus, but upper-parts, wings and 

 tail darker (more chestnut rufous), and crown very much darker (not so 

 brown as in leucopus from Guiana), but color approaching nearer to leu- 

 copus than it does to that of agnatus agnatus from Santa Marta; abdomen 

 paler, more whitish. 



Remarks. — F. a. endoecus differs from F. a. venezuelensis (from 

 the arid coast region east of Lake Maraeaibo) in much darker and 

 more brownish crown, much darker more chestnut-rufous upper 

 parts, wings and tail, and darker and more rufous breast. 



Cinclodes neglectus sp. nov. 



Type from Mountains near Otuzco, (alt. about 11,000 ft.) western Peru. 

 Male, No. 50559, Field Museum of Natural History. Collected by W. H. 

 Osgood and M. P. Anderson, March 19, 1912. 



Description. — Ground color of crown dark brown (near Dresden brown) 

 approaching that of C. fuscus, but feathers of anterior crown and forehead 

 with small tawny shaft spots; eyelids and superciliary stripe whitish; 

 back dull reddish brown becoming strongly rufous brown on rump and 

 upper tail coverts; tail rufous brown, the three outer tail feathers entirely 

 bright rufous; throat dull whitish, the feathers bordered with dusky; 

 breast feathers tawny white bordered with dusky; rest of under-parts 

 grayish brown becoming slightly rufous brown on the flanks and under 

 tail coverts; nearly all of the feathers of the breast, abdomen and sides 

 with narrow, pale (whitish or tawny white) shaft streaks; exposed portion 

 of quills rufous; under wing coverts tawny, more or less marked with 

 dusky; band near base of inner quills rufous; legs and feet pale brown 

 (in dried skin). 



Measurements. — Wing, 84; tail, 70; bill (upper mandible broken) 

 about 18; tarsus, 27 mm. 



Remarks. — Although but one specimen was taken, this seems to 

 be a well marked species distinguished by its rufous tail, strongly 

 marked under-parts, pale legs and feet, etc.
