I have not seen an example of C. o. ohsoletus from Para- 

 guay, which is the type locality, but have compared Simons' 

 birds with specimens in the British Museum from the Uio 

 Parana, Sao Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, all of which agree 

 in being larger in size and paler in coloration. 



In addition to the type from Oroya, Department of Pnno, 

 g(nithern Peru, and the male and female from Chulumani in 

 Bolivia, collected by P. O. Simons, there is an adult bird 

 in the Museum collected by the late Clarence Buckley at 

 Tilotilo in the Province Yungas, Bolivia, which is identi- 

 cally the same as those in the Simons collection.

 Museum^ vol. xxvii. 1895, p. 53, it would appear that the 

 species was closely allied to C atricapillus, but I do not 

 consider that the specimen in the Simons collection is at 

 all nearly allied to that species. I am, therefore, giving a 

 description of it. 



Adult female. Middle of the crown of the head chestnut- 

 brown with blackish bars and edgings to the feathers, 

 becoming paler on the lores, sides of face, and hind-neck, 

 where the dark markings are much more minute; lower 

 hind-neck and mantle dusky rufous-brown barred and 

 mottled with blackish and washed with hoary-grey ; upper
