A very iine specimen in the present collection, shows the 

 Panama species not to be helias ; its size is much larger, the 

 plumage of the back is umber brown crossed with blackish- 

 brown bars, the wing-coverts bluish-grey ; the bands across the 

 quills are broader and of a deeper chestnut than in helias^ in 

 which the ground color of the upper parts is pale ftdvous or 

 light rufous intermixed with grey, and conspicuously barred 

 with blackish-brown, being much more variegated and the con- 

 trasts of color more decided. The under mandible in major is 

 deep orange ; in the Brazilian species pale yellow. ' 



The comparative measurements are as follows : 



E. major, length 19 in. ; wing 9 ; tail Y ; bill 2^; tarsi 2^. 



K helias, " 15 in. ; " 8; " 6; "2; " 1^.
