It is very closely allied to the Bogota species, which I helieve to be 

 the C. luteola, Cab., but ma^ be distinguished by its duller back, 

 less brightly-coloured uropygium and belly, longer bill and shorter 

 wings. 



2. Anabates rubiginosus. 



Saturate hrunneus ; pileo obscuriore : alis cxtiis, uropygio et Cauda 

 tota cum pectore saturate i-ubighioso-rufis ; gula clariore : ventre 

 dorso concolore sed medialiter pallidiore : tectricibus subalaribus^ 

 dare rubiginosis : rostro forti, crusso, recto, iiigricante, basi 

 pallida : pedibus iiigricanti-plumbeis . 



Long, tota 8*0, alee 3-7, caudse 3-3, rostri a rictu 1-2. 



Salle, no. 102. Cordova. 



This fine Anabates is of the same strong form as A. ferruginolen- 

 tus (Max.), but has shorter wings and rather a stiffer tail. I know 

 of no species that resembles it much in colouring. 



3. Anabates cervinigularis. 



Supra saturate brunneus ; pilco nigro : dorso summo nigricante ad- 

 umbrato : plumis medialiter pallidioribus : loris, superciliis longis 

 et cervicis lateribus dare rufis : gutlure dilutiore, pallide cervino : 

 abdomine fiavescenti-brunneo lateraliter obscuriore : alarum pennis 

 nigris extus brunneo limbatis, sicbtus autem cum tectricibus sub- 

 alaribus dare rufis : uropygio et crisso cum cauda tota saturate 

 rubiginoso-rufis : rostro validiusculo, recto, corneo, basi autem 

 flavicante : pedibus pallide brunneis. 



Long, tota 7'5, alae 3*6, caudse 3-0. 



Salle, no. 104. Cordova. 



This species is not quite so strong in form as the last, and has not 

 so thick a bill. In colouring it somewhat resembles A. atricupillus, 

 but is much larger than that bird. The sexes are coloured alike. 



4. Anabazenops variegaticeps. 



Supra brunneus : pilei pennis olivaceis, nigro angustissime circttm- 

 cinctis et scapis plumarum favicantibus : superciliis longis rufis : 

 loris et regione auriculari nigris : mcnto et guiture toto oclira- 

 cescenti-albidis : abdomine pallide bruJineo : cauda dare rubigi- 

 noso-rufa : tectricibus subalaribus flavicanti-ochraceis : rostra 

 pallide corneo, basi flavicante : pedibus pallide hrunneis. 

 Long, tota 6'0, alee 3*3, caudse 2*7. 

 Salle, no. 204. Cordova. Sexes alike. 



This bird closely resembles Anabazenops rufo-superciliatus (Lafr.), 

 but may be recognized at once by the darker, browner back, and the 

 variegated head, which in the latter species is of the same greenish 

 brown as the back. In the present bird also there is not that decided 

 mottled plumage on the breast observable in the other species, 

 although there are slight indications of it on the sides of the neck. 



5. Xenops mexicanus. 



Rufescenti'Olivaceus, capite obscuriore, uropygio rufo : loris albi-
