M. Salle's collection contains four examples of this interesting bird, 

 which has never previously come under my notice. One marked as 

 a female has the bill rather longer than the others, but does not 

 otherwise differ from them. It may be at once distinguished from 

 the Brazilian ^S*. caiidaciifns (to which it shows great general resem- 

 blance) by its smaller size. Hartlaub's S. fuscus (R. Z. 1844, p. 3/0) 

 seems to be larger, and differently coloured.

 bus capitis nigris alba variegatis : subtus albus ; lateribus cinera-

 latis : cauda tota nigricante et rufescenti-brunnea tesselluta: 

 rostra nigra : pedibus brunneis. 

 Long, tota 3"8, alae 2"2, cauda? TO. 

 Salle, no. 112. Cordova. 



This Mexican species much resembles in colouring a Bogota bird 

 in my collection, which I somewhat doubtfully refer to S. griseicallis, 

 Lafr., but differs from it in having the lower parts cinereous and not 

 white.
