Mr. Salmon's specimens do not agree absolutely with examples of 

 C. unibrunnea from Ecuador. They are all browner in colour, and the 

 transverse markings of the wings and tail are much more clearly de- 

 fined. In several specimens many of the feathers of the forehead 

 are white ; but as this character is of uncertain amount and absent in 

 the majority of examples, it cannot be deemed a distinctive fea- 

 ture.
