18/6.] MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON PERUVIAN BIRDS. 17 



6. CONIROSTRUM, Sp. illC 



A single skin of what is probably the female of a new Conirostrum, 

 allied to C. albifrons or possibly of a new Dacnis. 



7. Euphonia, sp. inc. 



Two skins of the female of a thick-billed Euphonia of the group 

 allied to E. violacea, probably oi' E. laniirostris (Lafr. et d'Orb.). 



30. Elainea placens, Sclater. 



This brings the range of this species down to Peru. We have 

 compared skins from Mexico, Guatemala, Veragua, Panama, Bogota, 

 and Ecuador. The last-named (E. implacens, Sclater, olim) agree 

 with the Peruvian in being rather darker on the back ; but a Bogota 

 skin is barely different in this respect from Sclater's Mexican type. 



32. SuBLEGATUS GRISEOCULARIS. 



This Tyrant bird, of which Mr. Whitely sends a pair from Mara- 

 nura, is very closely allied to the Venezuelan S. glaber, but is recog- 

 nizable by its shorter smaller bill, shorter crest, and the paler colour 

 of the back. Sclater's collection contains a single immature example 

 of the same form from Mendoza (Weisshaupt), labelled "Elainea 

 griseocularis, Landbeck ; " and there is a second skin from the same 

 source in Salvin and Godman's collection. Whether this name has 

 ever been published or not we are not sure ; but we adopt it as a 

 designation of this allied species, which is generally of the same 

 form as its northern congener.
