Mecocerculus leucophrys, Scl. Cat. A. B. p. 199. 



Ochthoeca setophagoides, Cab. et Hein. Mus. Hein. ii. p. 48. 



Nearly agrees with Bogota skins of this species. We have already 

 corrected the error of referring Ochthoeca leucophrys (Lafr. et d'Orb.) 

 to this species. See P. Z. S. 1867, p. 986.

Euscarthmus impiger. 



Mr. Goering's single skin, obtained near Caraccas, agrees with a 

 Bogota specimen in Sclater's collection. The species seems to be 

 most nearly allied to E. margaritaceiventer (Lafr. et d'Orb.), but 

 differs in its olivaceous lower back and the obscure flammulations 

 below. These two species have to be added to the list of the genus 

 given in Sclater's ' American Catalogue,' p. 208, and may stand 

 after E. orbitatus. 



Mr. Goering notes the irides of this bird as " white." 



76. StJBLEGATUS GLABER, Sp. et gen. UOV. (PI. XIII. fig. 2.) 



Apparently the adult of the bird numbered 1340fl! in Sclater's 

 ' American Catalogue.' It is not quite a Legattis, and in some re- 

 spects comes nearer to Elainea ; but we are not able to refer it satis- 

 factorily to any other genus.
