With a series of twenty-one birds in the British Museum, 

 including the birds collected by Simons, I notice that the 

 northern Peruvian birds are paler than those from Bolivia 

 and south-east Peru. 



The southern birds, in most individuals, have the hind- 

 neck tinged with vinous, and the back, wings, and tail 

 darker and more earth-brown, instead of grey. The breast 

 is also more vinous and the abdomen and under tail-coverts 

 buff, instead of pale isabeliine-buff. 



Total length 183 mm,, exposed culmen 11, wing 101, 

 tail 71, tarsus 17. 



The type. No. 3163, is in the British Museum, and was 

 collected by P. O. Simons at Challapata, Bolivia, at an 

 altitude of 3750 metres on 14 October, 1901. The female. 

 No. 3162, also collected by Simons at the same place, is 

 similar to the male described, but paler in coloration. 

 Wing; 95 mm.
