12 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON THE GENUS SYNALLAXIS. [Jan. 6, 



Hab. Brasil. merid. orient, prov. S. Paulo et Parana (Natt.). 



This is a rather small and weakly formed species, obtained, so far 

 as I know, only by Natterer. I have one of his typical specimens, 

 and have seen others in the Museums of Berlin and Vienna. 



13. Synallaxis propinqua.

 Orn. Bras. p. 37.

 alee 2*2, caudce 2-8 .• tarsi 0-95. 



Hab. Rio Madeira {Natt.) ; Amazonia sup. (E. Bartlett). 



After comparing the type of Synallaxis propinqua (kindly lent to 

 me for that purpose by the authorities of the Imperial Cabinet of 

 Vienna) with examples of S. terricolor (founded by Mr. Salvin and 

 myself on Mr. Bartlett' s Upper-Amazonian specimens), I have come 

 to the conclusion that they must be referred to the same species. 

 The typical specimen of £. propinqua is slightly tinged with rufes- 

 cent above, but is otherwise scarcely different. 



14. Synallaxis stictothorax. (Plate II. fig. 1.) 

 Synallaxis stictothorax, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1859, p. 191. 

 Synallaxis maculata, Lawr. Ann. L. N. Y. x. p. 186 (1872).

The figure of this Synallaxis is from the typical specimen in the 

 British Museum. In the Jardin des Plantes are four skins — three 

 sent from Guayaquil by Mr. Remy, and the fourth collected by 

 Eydoux on the island of Puna.
