1869.] MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON PERUVIAN BIRDS. 599 
The last collection from Tinta and its vicinity contains examples 
of about 57 species. Most of them have already been recorded from 
this locality ; but we subjoin notes upon such of them as call for 
remark or have not been noticed in our former articles. The addi- 
tional species to the district are 13 in number, amongst which three 
are new to science. One of these, a fine new Humming-bird, has 
been already described by Mr. Gould. 
1. CrncLus LEucocEPHALUS, Tsch. F. P. p. 180, t. 15. fig. 2. 
Two skins of this fine Dipper from Pitumarca are in the collection. 
The species is unmistakable; but in Tschudi’s figure the feet are 
coloured yellow, whereas in these skins they are of a dark plumbeous. 
For a general account of the group, see Salvin’s article, ‘ Ibis,’ 1867, 
p- 109. The nearest ally of the present species is C. leuconotus of 
New Granada, which has the centre of the back and the whole of 
the lower surface white. 
2. ATTICORA CINEREA (Gm.). 
Petrochelidon cinerea, Sclater, Cat. A. B. p. 39. 
Atticora murina, Baird, Rev. A. B. p. 312. 
One example of this Swallow from Tinta. Fraser obtained it at 
Quito (see P. Z. 8. 1860, p. 74). 
3. CATAMENIA ANALIS (Lafr, et d’Orb.); Sclater, Cat. A. B. 
p- 105. 
One female of this little Finch from Tinta. 
4, SycALIS LUTEIVENTRIS (Meyen) ; Sclater, P. Z. °S. 1867, 
p- 342. 
A single skin, apparently of this species, but in somewhat abraded 
plumage. 
5. PHACELLODOMUS STRIATICEPS, 
Anumbius striaticeps, Lafr. et D’Orb. Syn. Av, in Mag. de Zool. ; 
d’Orb. Voy. Ois. p. 255. 
Two skins of this bird were collected near Tintain January 1869. 
The species is allied to P. frontalis (Scl. Cat. A. B. p. 154), but 
easily distinguishable by the rufous colour of the wings and lateral 
rectrices.

Supra cinerea, superciliis latis et elongatis albis: secondariorum 
marginibus angustis rufescentibus: cauda fusco-nigra, rectricis 
utrinque extime pogonio externo albo late marginato : subtus 
gutture cinereo, albicante mixto, abdomine toto late rufo : crisso 
cinnamomeo: subalaribus albis rufo via tinetis: rostro et pedibus 
nigris : long. tota 6°3, ale 3°5, caude 3:0, tarsi 0°9, rostri a 
rictu 0'8 poll. Angl.
