 Collected and presented to the British Museum by the late 

 Lord Brabourne. 



I have compared this series with sixteen other examples 

 in the British Museum from Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and 

 northern Chile, and fiud them to be very similar in coloration 

 of plumage, but the birds from the south are rather larger 

 in wing-measurement. The amount of material to hand, 

 however, is not sufficient to enable me to come to any 

 satisfactory conclusion on this poiut.
