Mr. Sclater and I have recently had an opportunity of comparing 

 the type specimen of 2\ tessellaiiis, kindly lent us by the authorities 

 of the Muse'um d'Histoire Naturelle of Paris, with specimens of 

 the Panama Wren, collected by M'^Leannan. They present inap- 

 preciable differences.

I am quite unable to detect any tangible differences between a spe- 

 cimen, no doubt identical with the species described by Mr. Law- 

 rence, collected by Arcc, one from the Amazon Valley, by Wallace, 

 and a third from Bahia, the former equalling in size either of the 

 others. I prefer leaving the question open ; but I believe this Ve- 

 raguan Anthus to be a species ranging widely over the continent of 

 South America, and that it is identical with the bird referred by 

 Sclater, Cat. Am. B. p. 24, to Anthus c/^n, Vieill., Spix, Av. Bras. i. 

 p. 75, pi. 76. f. 2, which, being founded on a bird described by Azara, 

 is very probably the same as the Petite Alouette de Buenos Ai/res 

 of BufFou, PI. Enl. j). 738, and, therefore, as Alauda rufa, Gm.

Already noticed as far south as Costa Rica (Baird, /. c.) ; but not 

 yet observed beyond the locality here given. Arce sent only one 

 specimen.

This species ranges southward into New Granada (Sclater, P. Z. S. 

 1855, p. 143).
