46. EuPETOMENA HiRUNDO, Gould, Ann. N. H. ser. 4, vol. xvi. 

 p. 370 (1875). 



Mr. Whitely sends the following notes on this interesting new 

 discovery : — 



" I found these birds at Huiro in the valley of Santa Ana, at an 

 elevation of 4800 feet; they rarely approach a flower, but appear 

 to take their food hawking about in the air, in the manner of Swal- 

 lows — in fact, at first sight might be easily mistaken for such birds. 

 Length 6| inches, bill 1 inch, wing 3 inches ; eyes and bill black ; 

 legs, toes, and claws black." 



52. BoLBORHYiXHUS ANDicoLA (Finsch). 



Vsittacula andicola, Finsch, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 90 ; Scl. et Sal v. 

 P. Z. S. 1874, p. 679. 



A third exam})le of this little Parrot from Paucartambo. On the 

 whole we think this species better referred to the genus Bolbo- 

 rhynchus, being unquestionably allied to B. orbignesius. 



58. COLXJMBA ALBIPENNIS, sp. DOT. 



Columba maculosa, Scl. et Salv. P.Z. S. 1869, p. 600. 

 Supra fuscescens, capite et collo postico vinaceo lava f is: dorso

 06*. Sp. C. maculosa affinis, sed fascia alari alba, corpore subtus 

 grisescentiore et pagina alarum inferiore pallidiore grisea distin- 

 gue n da. 



This species, though closely allied to Columba maculosa, appears to 

 take its place in Bolivia and Peru, from both of which countries we 

 possess specimens. The true C. maculosa is found further south ; we 

 have specimens of it from M<inAoi».{Weisshaupt), and from the Rio 

 Negro, where Mr. Hudson obtained it. [Cf. P. Z. S. 1872, p. 545.]
