148 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON THE BIRDS OF LIMA. [Feb. 25, 
6. MoLtoTHRUS PURPURASCENS, Cassin, Pr. Acad. Phil. 1866, 
p- 20. 
No doubt the species spoken of by Cassin under this name (J. ¢.), 
hut probably not the bird intended by Hahn. Specimens of both 
sexes. 
7. CERYLE CABANISI, Tsch. F. P. Aves, p. 253; Sharpe, Alced. 
pt. 2. t. 16. 
A single skin of this Kingfisher. 
8. Ruovorts vesrerA (Lesson). 
“This is one of our rarest Humming-birds, visiting us at long 
and uncertain intervals. I have seen a single individual in imma- 
ture plumage occasionally in spring, and once or twice I have seen 
one in adult plumage in summer. Like Thawmastura cora, it fre- 
quents low bushes and flowering plants near the ground. At a 
distance it resembles the Cora Humming-bird ; but its note is louder 
and its flight stronger.’—W. N. 
9. THAUMASTURA FRANCESC&, Sclater, Cat. A. B. p. 299. 
Ornismya fanny, Less. 
«This is the rarest of Lima birds. I saw it for the first time in 
the winter of 1865; in the spring of 1867 I saw it again. In habits 
it resembles the Cora Humming-bird.”—W. N. 
-Mr. Nation sends one young male of this species, the only one 
he has ever obtained. 
10. CroropHAGA SULCIROSTRIS, Sw. 
Crotophaga casasii, Tsch. F. P. Aves, p. 256. 
11. CurysopriLus ATRICOLLIS (Malh.). 
Chrysopicus atricollis, Malh. R. Z. 1850, p. 156; Mon. Pic. ii. 
p- 178, t. 88. f. 4. 
A male of this distinct species, which I had not previously met 
with. 
12. THINOCORUS RUMICIVORUS, Eschsch. 
A single skin of a Thinocorus sent by Prof. Nation agrees very 
nearly in plumage with skins of 7’. rumicivorus from Chili, but is 
very much smaller in dimensions. Before separating it specifically 
I should like to have an opportunity of examining more specimens. 
(See remarks, P. Z. 8. 1867, p. 989.) 
13. Porzana ERyTHROPS, Sclat. P. Z. S. 1867, p. 343, t. xx. ; 
Scl. et Salv. P. Z. 8. 1868, p. 457. 
A second example of this curious species of Crake.
