Hab. Venezuela, Columbia int. et iEquatoria. 



Three skins of this bird now before me from Bogota collections 

 have the under surface more or less cinereous, whereas in two 

 Ecuador skins (and in others I have seen) the under plumage is cin- 

 namomeous, rather paler than the back. But a fourth Bogota skin 

 resembles the Ecuadorian form ; and even if the localities favoured 

 the idea of separation, the difference would hardly be sufficient, in 

 my opinion, for specific distinction. 



27. Synallaxis fuliginosa.

 goniis angustis et tenuibus : long, tota 6*8, alee 2'5, caudce 4. 



Hab. Columbia int. 



This Synallaxis is only met with in Bogota collections. It is 

 remarkable for its long tail, composed of narrowly webbed and rather 

 stiffened rectrices.
