1873.] MR. P. L. SCLATER ON PERUVIAN BIRDS. 783 



Iii my original description of this species, I spoke of the possi- 

 bility of its being identical with Ci/lurus palliatus of Tschudi's 

 ' Fauna Peruana.' The occurrence of it in Peru renders this supposi- 

 tion still more likely. But it is not possible to reconcile the bird 

 with Tschudi's figure, if that is correctly drawn. See my remarks 

 /. s. c. 



32. Grallaria erythroleuca, sp. nov. 



Supra late rufa, pileo et lateribus capitis cum Cauda saturatioribus, 

 ferrugineis : subtus gutture et ventre medio albis, pectore et 

 lateribus dorso concoloribus, plumis quibusdam albo anguste ter- 

 minatis : subalaribus ferrugineis, remigum pogoniis internis schis- 

 taceis, ferrugineo vix marginatis : rostro et pedibus cornels : long, 

 tot a 7 "2, alee 3 6, caudee 2, tarsi 2'1. 

 Hab. Peru via alta, Huasampilla (Whitely). 

 Mus. P. L. S. 



This fine large Grallaria comes nearest to G. hypoleuca, mihi, of 

 Columbia, but is larger, and differs in having a broad band of rufous 

 (two inches wide) across the underside. Some of the feathers of this 

 band are margined at their extremities with white. 



37. Capito versicolor (Midler); Marshall, Mon. Barb. pi. 68. 

 Mr. Whitely obtained a single male specimen of this fine and rare 



species in a small copse near San Antonio, in July 1871. He notes, 

 " Eye hazel ; bill bright green at base, yellow at point ; legs, toes, 

 and claws olive. Contents of stomach ants." 



I should rather have expected Capito glaucogularis to have occurred 

 in this district. 



38. Urochroma, sp. inc. 



A single skin from Paucartambo of a small green Parrot, which 

 Dr. Finsch considers probably new, and has kindly undertaken to 

 work out for me. 



39. Peristera mondetoura, Bp. C. R. xlii. p. 765 & 957, 

 et xliii. p. 944 ; Icon. d. Pig. t. 126. 



A fine male of this rare Pigeon was obtained at Huasampilla in 

 March 1872. The species was originally described from a Vene- 

 zuelan skin procured near Caraccas by Levraud ; but Mr. Salvin has a 

 Mexican example received from He Oca, and has recently obtained a 

 specimen in Guatemala *, so that the species must have a wide range. 



40. Geotrygon frenata (Tsch.). 



Columba frenata, Tsch. F. P. Aves, p. 278, pi. xxviii. 



In our article on G. bourcieri (Ex. Orn. p. 79), Mr. Salvin and I 

 stated that we had not met with examples of this Pigeon. But we 

 subsequently had an opportunity of examining Tschudi's typical 

 specimen (thanks to Mr. Coulon's kindness), and of convincing 

 ourselves that the species was valid. Mr. Whitely sends us a single 

 skin from Huasampilla, obtained in March 1872.
