4* 2. PiCUMNUS WALLACII, Sp. n. 



d" ad. Similar to P. flavifrons, but differs in having those 

 feathers on the top of the head which are not tipped with 

 yellow umber-brown spotted with dull white ; the barring 

 on the chest and the spots on the breast and abdomen pale 

 dusky olive. 



Hab. Amazons (I^Fa//ace) : Sclater Collection. Type in the 

 British Museum. 



-f 3. Chloronerpes gularis^ sp. n. 



S ad. Similar to G. rubiginosus , but may be distinguished 

 by having the chin and throat black, clearly spotted with 

 yellowish white ; the rump and upper tail-coverts barred 

 golden yellow and dusky olive. The whole of the top of the 

 head, occiput, and nape, as well as the malar stripe, are 

 brilliant crimson. Total length 9'5 inches ; culmen 1*15 ; 

 wing 4*9 ; tail 3'1 ; tarsus '85. 



Hab. Santa Elena, Antioquia [Salmon). The type is in 

 my collection. A second 6 in my cabinet (from the same 

 locality) corresponds with the above. 



In the Paris Museum there is an example labelled " Co- 

 lombia [Gerrard)" evidently one of Salmon's skins. It 

 differs from my 6 in having the forehead and the greater 

 part of the crown dusky, with only a very few of the feathers 

 tipped with red ; the malar region, chin, and throat uniform 

 black, excepting a few of the lower feathers of the throat, 

 which are spotted with yellow ; the back is strongly tinged 

 with red, and the rump and upper tail -coverts are, as in the 

 male, very yellow and evenly barred. The almost uniform 

 throat and the perfectly uniform malar region are suggestive 

 ot youth, but in some respects the bird appears to be adult, 

 and may possibly be the adult female of my species ; the 

 measurements are as follows : — Total length 8*5 inches ; 

 culmen 1*03 j wing 5*0 ; tail 2*9 ; tarsus 0*88. 



-\ 4. Cerchneipicus occidentalis, sp. n. 



cJ ad. Similar to C. tinnunculus , but differs in having the 

 lateral tail-feathers entirely barred with rufous ; the black 

 barring on the plumage (generally) less broad. The di-
