* The identity of this bird with Picolaptes cinnamomeus, Less. (Rev. Zool. 

 1844, p. 433; Ccnnpylorhynchus cinnamomeus, Gray, Gen. Birds, p. 159), 

 from Guayaquil, appears doubtful. Lesson says that the bird is of the 

 same form and size as his Grimpic zone (Cent. Zool. t. 70), which is di- 

 stinguished by its long tail ; he describes the head as rufous-brown (not 

 grey), and makes no mention of the very diiFerent superciliary stripe. 

 Lesson describes also the upperside as cinnamomeous, the underside as 

 ochraceous : but these differences would be of less importance ; for our 

 specimen is in much-worn plumage, and the back especially is evidently 

 growing paler. 



t Mr. Sclater told me, in a letter dated 7th November, 1858, that 

 a specimen collected by M. Delattre in Guayaq^uil is preserved in the 

 Derby Museum at Liverpool.
