786 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN [ Nov. 15, 
Paramo of Culata, must, we think, be referred to C. armillata, a 
species well known in Bogota collections. 
It is, however, slightly larger than Bogota skins, and the blue 
colouring is of a deeper hue, particularly on the upper surface of 
the tail and wings, which in Bogota skins have somewhat of a green- 
ish tinge. Mr. Goering notes the legs and bill of this bird as being 
of a shining black, and the iris as ‘‘ dark brown.” 
40. CincLopEs Fuscus (Vieill.). 
Cinclodes fuscus et C. albidiventris, Scl. Cat. A. B. p. 149. 
After examining Sclater’s present series of skins of this bird from 
Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and La Plata, and comparing them with a 
specimen obtained by Mr. Goering from the Paramo of Merida, we 
have come to the conclusion that they are all referable to one species, 
which will include Sclater’s C. albidiventris. The La Plata speci- 
mens (C. fuscus verus) are less rufescent above, and have the tail 
rather greyer. 
49. GRALLARIA GRISEONUCHA, Sp. nov. 
Supra rufescenti-brunnea, alis intus nigricantibus, loris et nucha 
lata obscure griseis: colli luteribus et corpore subtus intense 
Serrugineis, lateribus obscurioribus: cauda brevissima, subcau- 
dalibus abscondita: rostro et pedibus obscure corneis: long. 
tota 6, ale 3:5, caude 1, tarsi 1°9, rostri a rictu 1. 
Hab. Paramo of La Culata, north of Merida (Goering). 
Obs. Habitus generalis G. brevicaude, sed rostro paulo fortiore et 
crassitie majore: quoad colorem ab omni specie diversa. 
Mr. Goering obtained a single specimen of this new Grallaria 
on the Paramo of La Culata in September 1869. It is marked 
“male, iris clear brown ; very rare.” 
51. OCHTHOECA SUPERCILIOSA, sp. nov. 
Murino-brunnea, alis caudaque nigris: superciliis latis, maculis 
tectricum majorum alarium terminalibus, et secundariorum 
marginibus externis cum subalaribus et abdomine toto ferru- 
gineis; rectricis unius utrinque extime pogonio externo et 
crisso albis: rostro et pedibus nigris: long. tota 6, ale 3°2, 
caude 2°7. 
Hab. Paramos of Merida (Goering), 
Obs. Proxima O. fumicolori ex Columbia, sed superciliis et abdo- 
mine ferrugineis dignoscenda. 
‘Two examples of this species are sent by Mr. Goering. Both are 
females, and were obtained in the Paramos of Merida. The iris in 
one is marked “clear brown,”’ in the other ‘ brown.” 
Besides O. fumicolor, O. cenanthoides (Lafr. et D’Orb.) of Bolivia 
and O. polionota (Scl. et Salv, P. Z.S. 1869, p. 599) of Peru belong 
to this group of the genus Ochthoéca. But both the latter species 
have the superciliaries white.
