Four specimens of this Ayriornis were collected at Tinta in May 
and June. It approaches nearest to 4. solitaria of Ecuador, being 
nearly of the same build, and having, like that species, the three 
pairs of external tail-feathers wholly white. But it may be imme- 
diately distinguished by its much paler colour below, and by the 
distinct black markings on the white throat. 
A. pollens, Sclater* (A. andicola, Sclater, nec D’Orb.), has also 
the external rectrices wholly white, and is very like the present bird 
in general colour, but is much larger and stronger in form, resem- 
bling in these respects 4. livida, the type of the genus. 
“Shot off the roof of a house. Quite solitary in its habits; I 
have never seen two birds together.” 
* The name andicola having been used by Lafresnaye and D’Orbigny for a 
species of this genus, I have altered my former name (given P. Z. 8. 1860, p. 78) 
into pollens.—P. L. 8.
