236. Aramides cayennensis (^Gm.). — Common along the river; often 

 trapped bj the natives. 



237. Porzana cayennensis (Gm.). — Common in the marshes. 



[238. Heliornis fulica (5<?r/f/.). — One specimen taken by Williams. — 

 F. M. C] 



239. Jacana jacana (/.,/««.). — Verj common. 



240. Vanellus cayenennsis (Gm.). — A male and female taken June 22, 

 1S87. 



241. iEgialitis collaris (Ardll.). — A male taken June 24, 1S87. 



[242. Himantopus mexicanus (MillL). — An adult collected bj Smith 

 April 16, 18S9.— F. M. C] 



[243. Gallinago frenata (Z^/c/^/".). — Four specimens collected by Smith 

 in March and April, 1889.— F. M. C] 



[244. Actitis macularia (Linn.). 



Tringoides macularis Allen, Bull. Essex Inst., VIII, 8, 1876, p. 83. 



"Santarem, April 12; common along the river banks. Specimens 

 were obtained both in mature and immature plumage." (Allen, /. c.).] 



[245. Phaethusa magnirostris (Lic/iL). — A specimen collected by 

 Smith March 3, 18S9.— F. M. C] 



[246. Tinamus guttatus Pelz. — A specimen collected by Smith Febru- 

 ary 4, 1889, I refer provisionally to this species. It differs from an Upper 

 Amazonian example identified by Mr. Salvin as "Z'. guttatus, but with 

 fewer black marks on the lower back," in being less rufous and more 

 olivaceous above, in having all the feathers of the back, rump, wing and 

 tail-coverts banded subterminally with black and spotted with pale rufous, 

 these spots growing more numerous posteriorly. In the coloration of the 

 lower parts, and in size the two specimens agree. — F. M. C] 



247. Tinamus tao (Temm.). — One specimen taken August 5, 1SS4, in 

 a dense forest on the 'mountain.' 



248. Crypturus pileatus (Bodd.). — Common in the lowlands; its 

 strange note heard only about sunset. 



[249. Crypturus cinereus (Gm.). — "Santarem, July 6; common in deed 

 woods."*] 



250. Crypturus parvirostris Wagl. — Common amongst clumps of 

 bushes on the campos ; acting very much like a Quail, and as difficult to 

 shoot. 



[A female taken June 14, 1884, the only specimen received, I refer 

 with some hesitation to this species of which I have no examples forcom- 

 parison. In coloration it apparently agrees with descriptions of parvi- 

 rostris, but there is a great discrepancy in the measurements given by 

 Taczanowski (Orn. Peru, III, p. 299) for this species and the measure- 

 ments of the present specimen, as the following figures show : 



C. parinrostris, $, {ex Tarz.), wing 118 mm.; bill 23 mm.; tarsus 

 25 mm. 



Santarem specimen, wing 103 mm. ; bill 16 mm. ; tarsus 25 mm.
