Mr. Salmon's skins cannot be distinguished from examples from 

 Ecuador in Sclater's collection. 



"The nest is placed in a mass of moss on a bank ; it is also composed 

 entirely of moss. The female lays two eggs, large for the size of the 

 bird, and white. I was first attracted to this bird by a harsh cry 

 continually repeated near me, and immediately looked round to dis- 

 cover what animal it could be, expecting something of considerable 

 size, but, after carefully searching, saw what appeared a small 

 black mouse creeping along the ground. Upon killing it I found 

 it to be a specimen of this bird." — T. K. S.
