OF NEW OR LITTLK KNOWN BIRDS. 34? 



the upper and under tail covers are bright yellow. The first 

 quill is spurious, and only ^ of an inch long. 



196. PiPiLLo macronyx. 



General plumage resembling P. maculata ; but the 

 spots on the wings, the under wing covers, and tips of the 

 lateral tail feathers, are yellow. Feet and claws very 

 large. 



Inhabits Mexico. Mus. Nost. 



Total length 8 inches ; wings 3^ ; tail, base 5 ; tarsus l^g ; 

 middle toe and claw 1^; hind ditto fg. Ground colour of the 

 upper plumage olive green : bill deep black : legs pale. 

 Another specimen, which I view as the female, has no yellow 

 spots whatever, either on the back, wings, or lateral tail fea- 

 thers ; although in other respects they are both alike. 



197. PiPiLLO fusca. 



Greyish brown above ; white beneath : chin and 

 throat fulvous, with dusky spots : under tail covers 

 fulvous : tail blackish brown, unspotted. 



Inhabits Mexico. Mus. Nost. 



Total length 7i inches ; wings 31 ; tail, base 4 ; tarsus -^ ; 

 middle toe and claw the same ; hinder ditto ^§. Rather smaller 

 than maculata. Bill and legs pale : the latter smaller, and 

 the claws more curved, than in any other known species : crown 

 with a pale rufous tinge. 



198. Arremon flavirostris. 



General plumage of A. torquatus ; but the bill is 

 bright yellow, and the hinder toe longer. 



Inhabits Brazil. Mus. Nost. 



Total length 6\ inches ; bill, gape ^ ; front ^ ; wings 3 ; tail, 

 beyond, 2 ; base 3 ; tarsus nearly 1 ; middle toe and claw ^ ; 

 hinder ditto 13. Top of the bill with a line of black, the rest 

 fine yellow : the three stripes on the head, which in A. tor- 

 quatus commence at the base of the bill, do not begin in this 

 so far forward ; and the white ones commence above, and not 

 before, the eye : the tail feathers are longer and narrower. 



199- Leucophrys j9t7ea<M*. 

 Above, light earthen brown ; beneath, white : front, 

 crown, and sides of the chin, black : stripe above the 

 eye, rump, and upper tail covers, pure white.
