I have compared these four specimens with twenty-seveu 

 others iu the British Museum from Brazil, Paraguay, 

 Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile, and find them to be very 

 similar both in coloration and measurements. 



No. 2765 is unusually wliite on the forehead, while one 

 from Sorata, Bolivia, collected by C. Buckley, is pale vinous 

 on the fore part of the head and deeper vinous on the breast 

 than any other iu the series.

The three birds enumerated above are similar to others in 

 the British Museum from Ecuador and Peru. 



This bird is allied to C. griseola Spix, but the male is 

 easily distinguishetl by its darker vinous coloration and 

 larger size. The female differs from tlie female C. griseola 

 in being earth-brown on the abdomen and flanks.
