532 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON [Julie 3, 



" The nest is on the ground, amongst ferns &c. 



" The eggs vary very much both in size and colour ; some are 

 quite white, others pale red with small spots. At first I was inclined 

 to think there were two species, as many of the birds differ conside- 

 rably in appearance. I have never seen more than one egg in a 

 nest."— T. K. S.

D. fuscipennis, Sclater, of Ecuador, merely differs in its brownish 

 wings, and is, we now think, inseparable. In Mr. Salmon's skins 

 the wings are quite as black as hi eastern specimens.
