1875. ] ON TWO BIRDS FROM ANTIOQUIA. 541 
scarcely be seen in general; and there isno trace of a dark line down 
the back. The general colour of the animals, as figured, is too rufous ; 
the lower parts are not sufficiently white; and the horns in the male 
are poorly drawn. 
It is only due to Dr. Stoliczka to point out that the drawing from 
which the plate was taken was not sent by him, and that he is only 
responsible for the description, p. 425, in which it will be seen that no 
mane or dorsal stripe is mentioned, and that the length of the tail is 
given as only 4 inches. The drawing was by Col. Gordon, who ef course 
isnota naturalist ; but I can hardly suppose that the mistakes men- 
tioned were made by any one having the animal before him. In any 
case it is essential to point out these errors before somebody invents 
a new genus for this long-tailed and maned type of the genus Ovis. 
5. Description of two new Species of Birds from the State of 
Antioquia, U.S.C. By P. L. Scrarer, M.A., F.R.S., 
and Ospert SaLvin, M.A., F.R.S. 
[Received July 9, 1875.] 
Mr. T. K. Salmon, who has now returned to his former quarters 
at Medellin, the capital of the the Columbian State of Antioquia, has 
sent us a new collection of birds, formed in the neighbourhood of that 
city. Amongst these are single examples of two species which appear 
to be new to science*, and which we propose to describe as fol- 
lows :— 
CATHARUS PHXZOPLEURUS, Sp. nov, 
Supra olivaceo-brunneus : dorso, collo postico et capite toto, nisi 
in gula, fusco-griseis: subtus in gula et abdomine medio albus, 
illa plumbeo variegata: pectore et hypochondriis griseo-plum- 
beis: rostro et pedibus flavis: long. tota ale 6°3, caude 2°3, 
rostri a rictu, 0°85 poll. Angl. 
Hab. in Statu Antioquiensi reipublicee Columbianz. 
Obs. A C. mexicano capite griseo et pectore hypockondriisque ma- 
gis plumbeis, a C. fuscatro dorso olivaceo-brunneo et capitis colore, 
necnon a C. griseicipite dorso obscuriore et coloribus corporis infe- 
rioris diversus. 
Mus. .P. L.S. 
This species of Catharus, of which Mr. Salmon sends but a single 
specimen, resembles several distinct species of the genus, being some- 
what intermediate in its characters between the black-headed group 
represented by C. mewxicanus and C. fuscater, and the grey-headed 
C. griseiceps, which belongs more properly to the group represented 
by C. melpomene. 
~ The discovery of C. pheopleurus raises the number of species 
of this genus now known (i. e. if we allow C. maculatus to be di- 
* The species described as new from Mr. Salmon’s former collection from this 
district were Chlorochrysa nitidissima, Sel. P. Z.S. 1873, p.728, Grallaria ruficeps, 
Sel. P. Z. 8. 1873, p. 729, and Tigrisoma salmoni, Scl. et Salv. P.Z.8. 1879, p. 38.
