1874.] MR. P. L. SCLATER ON THE GENUS SYNALLAXIS. 15 



This species is occasionally met with in collections from Bogota. 

 Mr. Salmon has recently sent skins from Antioquia, showing that its 

 range extends to that district of Columbia. 



21. Synallaxis castanea. 



Synallaxis castanea, Sclater, Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 2, xvii. 

 p. 466 (1856) ; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1859, p. 193 ; Cat. A. B. p. 152 ;

Castanea, gutture medio nigro : rostro et pedibus nigris : long, tola 

 7*5, alee 2"3, caudce 4. 



Hab. Venezuela; Caracas (Levraud) ; Merida (Goering). 



This Synallaxis is of the same form as the preceding, but easily 

 known by its black throat. It is not uncommon in Venezuelan 

 collections. 



22. Synallaxis kollari. (Plate III. fig. 1.) 



Synallaxis kollari, Pelzeln, Sitz. Ak. Wien, xx. p. 158 (1856), 

 et Orn. Bras. p. 36.

 albicante : gutture nigro, plumis albo singulatim punctatis : long, 

 tota 5 - 6, alee 2*2, caudce 2'7. 



Hab. Guiana int. Rio Brancho (Natt.). 



I am not aware that any other specimens have been obtained of 

 this well-marked species since the original examples were collected 

 by Natterer near Fort S. Joachim on the Rio Brancho in 1831 and 

 1832. 



23. Synallaxis cand.ei. (Plate III. fig. 2.) 



Synallaxis candeei, Lafr. et D'Orb. R. Z. 1838, p. 168 ; Bp.

Hab. Cartagena (Cande) ; Rio Hacha (Del.) ; Savanilla (Ashurst). 



This well-marked species seems to be restricted to the northern 



littoral of Columbia. The figure is from a fine specimen collected 



by Mr. Bell at Cartagena, which Mr. Lawrence has most kindly 



presented to me.

This Synallaxis is occasionally received in collections from Bogota, 

 but is not very common.
