When comparing the Simons bird, No. 1966 from Perene, 

 vvitli others from Bolivia, Peru, and E .-uador in the British 

 Museum, I noticed that the Bolivian bird was darker in 

 colour both on the upper and under surface as well as 

 larger in wing and tail measurements, particularly the 

 latter. I found, too, that the darker coloration was depicted 

 by Reichenbach in his original figures. Wing 322 mm., 

 tail 340. 



I propose, therefore, that this form be recognized as a 

 subspecies under the name Penelope jacqua<^u boliviana. 



Habitat. Bolivia.

No. 1874. Adult. San Ramon, Junin, Peru, 1000 metres,

 in brush. ^' 



No. 1932. Adult. Rio Perene, Junin, Peru, 800 metres, 

 17 March, 1900. ''Found in thick wood." 



With a series of fourteen specimens, including the two in 

 the Simons collection, from localities in the following states 

 — Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, I notice a consider- 

 able amount of variation, particularly in regard to the colour 

 on the rump. In several, the feathers ar^ short and flufly 

 and of a deep rust-brown or chestnut in colour, while there 

 are others which do not show either of these characters but 

 liftve normal feathers and are olive-brown like the back.
