 Mus. P. L. S. 



Obs. Sp. colore uniformi, gutture obsoletiiis striato, insignia ; 

 crassitie A. cervinigularis et huic quoad dorsi picturam non dis- 

 similis. 



Frontino. Iris dark ; stomach contained insects. 

 Mr. Salmon obtained but one specimen of this bird, which seems 

 to belong to an unrecognized species. 



Though at first we took it for a young A. holostictus, accurate 

 examination convinces us that such cannot be the case ; and the bird 

 seemed to be quite in adult plumage. The tail is much shorter than 

 in A. holostictus, and tbe bill shorter, higher, and more compressed. 

 The wings are short and much rounded, the third, fourth, and fifth 

 primaries being nearly equal and longest. On the whole the species 

 goes best next to A. rufo-brunneus ', of Costa Rica. 

 Eggs (no. 88) white : axis 1*16, diam. -86.

 p. 465. 



Remedios. (Mus. S.-G.) Iris dark. 



This is a Veraguan and Panama species. Its extension so far 

 south is new to us. 



226. Philydor erythronotus, Scl. et Salv. Nomencl. p. 160. 



Sta. Elena. (Mus. S.-G.) 



A single specimen, agreeing with the type (from Bogota) in 

 Sclater's collection. 



227. Anabazenops temporalis, Scl. Cat. A. B. p. 159. 

 Concordia. (Mus. P. L. S.) 



It is perhaps somewhat doubtful whether this species can be kept 

 separate from the Central-American form A. variegaticeps.
