The siteciuR'iis before nie agree .sufTicieiitly \\'»'ll with the «Ies('ri|)- 

 tioii l)y Dr. Sclater of C. huinilis, ba.sed on a bin! in the imiscum 

 of the I'hila. Academy. Although No. 2y,225 is larger than the type, 

 a .skin received from Mr. Verreaux, 22,382, agrees more nearly with 

 it in this respect. A skin collected by i\lr. Xantus, near Colinip, and 

 belonging to the same region as the Mazatlan specimen, is undis- 

 tinguishable from the Orizaba skin, npon which the description abovo 

 given is ba.sed. In this the iris is said to be reil-brown. In the 

 brown head and other characters, as well as the short bill and tarsi, 

 it is related to C. gularin, of Sclater, although this appears to pre- 

 sent other distinctive characters. 



NoTK. — Since writing the preceding description, I have had the 

 opportunity of examining ^Slr. Sclater's type in the Phila. Academy, 

 from Muzatlan. The species appears to me the same, the type differ- 

 ing only in being of rather duller plumage above, the markings not 

 I'lO well defined, and in having the bars of tlie crissum less distinct, 

 aid externally reduced somewhat to a central spot. There are no 

 di itinct spots on the flanks.

The following species of Campylorhynchus I have not had the 

 opportunity of examining : — 



Campylorhynchus giitfatns, Lapk. H. Z. 1846, M.—ThrijothoTus 

 (/utfdtus, Gould, Pr. Z. S. 183(j, 89 (Mexico). 



This species, which has not been referred to by recent writers, 

 belongs to the same section as C. brunneicapillvs, etc., with rcddi.«Ii- 

 brown head, and back striped longitudinally with white. The 

 throat and breast are said to be spotted with black, the abdomen 

 and sides with smaller spots of the same. Ijength, 6.75 (i)r()bal»ly

 tail is not very distinct; but in several respects there is a close re- 

 lationship to C. brunneioapilluft, of liafr., and it is not impos-sihle 

 that it refers to the same species. If from Tamaulipts, like the
