Coecygus cinereus, Burm. P. Z. 8. 1868, p. 634. 
Fuscescenti-cinereus, subtus pallide cinereus, ventre medio albi- 
cante: subalaribus et crisso ochracescentibus: rectricibus fuscis, 
versus apicem nigricantibus, albo anguste terminatis ; rostro 
nigro: long. tota 9, ale 4:1, rectr. med. 3°11, lat. 3°7. 
Hab. Paraguay (Azara) ; vic. of Buenos Ayres (Hudson). 
This Coccyzus has been sometimes supposed to be the same as C. 
melanocoryphus, but is in fact, as recently pointed out by Dr. Bur- 
meister, a most distinct species, having the lateral rectrices but 
slightly shorter than the middle pair. From what Mr. Hudson 
states (P. Z. S. 1870, p. 88) it would appear to have only lately 
become a denizen of the riverain forest near Buenos Ayres. 
8. Coccyzus PUMILUS. 
Coccyzus pumilus, Strick]. Orn. Contr. 1852, p. 28, pl. 82; Sclater, 
Cat. Am. B. p. 323; Cab. et Hein. Mus. Hein. iv. 79; Scl. P. Z.S. 
1864, p. 122. 
Fuscescenti-cinereus, pileo cinereo: subtus ad imum pectus fer- 
rugineus, ventre albo, subalaribus et crisso ochracescentibus : 
cauda fuscescenti-cinerea, nigro late terminata, indealbo anguste 
marginata: rostro nigro: long. tota 9, ale 4, caude rectr. 
med. 4°2, lat. 3°8. 
Hab. Trinidad (Strickl.) ; Venezuela, Bogota (Mus. S.-G.). 
Mr. Strickland gives the locality of this Cuckoo as Trinidad ; and 
I have a skin received in a collection which was stated to have come 
from that island. But I have some reason to believe that it is 
doubtful whether this bird really occurs in Trinidad. It is not men- 
tioned by Léotaud, and many birds from the adjoining districts of 
Venezuela reach us in so-called “ Trinidad ”’ collections. 
Messrs. Salvin and Godman have a “‘ Bogota ” skin of this Cuckoo, 
which shows that it is also found in the neighbouring republic of 
New Granada.
