 Two examples of this species of Muscisaxicola were obtained at 

 Salinas in July I«67. The eye is noted as "dark hazel." The 

 species is nearly related to AI. rujiverfex of Lafresnaye, hut is evi- 

 dently distinct, and forms a second species of the red-head section. 

 See Sclater's synopsis of the genus, 'Ibis,' 1866, p. 57. 



We are inclined to consider that Lafresnaye's M. albilora is pro- 

 bably identical with this species. 



26. Centrites NIGER (Bodd.). 



One example, male, from Salinas. " Eyes dark hazel." 



27. Pyrocephalus rubineus (Bodd.). 



Several specimens, obtained in the Catarindos valley, a little south 

 of Islay. These are quite as large as some eastern examples of P. 

 rubineus, and induce us to believe that the supposed western form 

 P. nanus is not really different. 



28. An^retes albocristatus (Vig.). 



Two examples from Arequipa, agreeing well with D'Orbigny's 

 figure of Culicivora reguloides. Eyes marked " dark hazel." 



29. Antrostomus ^quicaudatus (Peale) ; Sclater, P. Z. S. 

 1867, p. 342. 



A single skin of this species from Islay, obtained September 1 3th. 



30. Oreotrochilus estell^e (D'Orb. et Lafr.) ; Gould, Mon. 

 ii. t. 70. 



One example from Chihuata, alt. 9000 feet, July 19th, (S . 



31. Myrtis FRANCESCO (Lcss.) ; Gould, Mon. iii. t. 1.51. 

 ■ Two examples, a female and a young male, from Islay. 



32. Thaumastura cor^ (Less.) ; Gould, Mon. iii. t. 153. 

 Many specimens from Islay and Arequipa. 



33. Rhodopis vesper (Less.). 



Many examples from Islay and Arequipa, and two from Chihuata. 

 Eyes in one marked " dark hazel." 



34. Mettallura cupreicauda, Gould, Mon. iii. t. 191. 



Two specimens of this fine species, from Chihuata (alt. 9000 feet). 

 " Eves dark hazel."
