a Brazil? (Argent) 1852. 



A Bolivian skin agreeing with examples from that country. This 

 bird has usually been called Phrygilus atriceps (Lafr. & D'Orb.), but 

 it differs from that species in having a gray instead of a black head. 

 It is, I believe, the Eniberiza gayi (stirps major) of those authors.
