Of these Mr. G. R. Gray’s name Cinclocerthia is the oldest that 
can be adopted. 
Note.—Since writing the above, I have carefully examined the 
two specimens of Cinclocerthia ruficauda in the British Museum. 
They seem to agree in every respect with Lafresnaye’s description of 
Ramphocinclus tremulus, and, as the islands of Nevis and Guadaloupe 
are so near, I think we may reasonably conclude that these two 
birds are not specifically distinct. The rectrices are twelve in num- 
ber, and not ten, as Mr. Gould supposed (P. Z. S. 1835, p. 186) 
might be the case. 
The three species of this group ought therefore apparently to stand 
as follows:—1. CrNCLOCERTHIA RUFICAUDA (Stenorhynchus rufi- 
caudus, Gould; C. ruficauda, G. R. Gray; Ramphocinclus tremulus, 
Lafr.). 2. CINCLOCERTHIA GUTTURALIS (Ramphocinclus gutturalis, 
Lafr.) ; and, 3. CINCLOCERTHIA BRACHYURA (Turdus brachyurus, 
Vieill. ; Ramphocinclus brachyurus, Lafr.; Zoothera cinclops et 
Cinclops melanoleucus, Bp.). P. 1. 8.

Genus BuARREMON.

Through the kindness of Sir William Jardine I am enabled to 
exhibit a specimen of a very distinct species of Buarremon, which 
Professor Jameson of Quito has lately transmitted to this country. 
It was obtained by him during a recent expedition into the eastern 
Cordillera of the Andes near Quito at an elevation of 6000 feet above 
the sea-level. In form and size it is similar to B. pallidinuchus, but 
the style of coloration is different and more nearly resembles that 
of B. schistaceus. Sir William Jardine has named it leucopterus, 
from the conspicuous white spot on the wing. The area of the 
genus Buarremon appears to extend along the Andean range from 
Bolivia into Southern Mexico, the vicinity of Bogota being perhaps 
the principal sedes or focus, where no less than seven or eight species 
occur. The present bird may be characterized as follows :— 
BuaRREMON LEUCOPTERUS (PI. CIX.). 
B. schistacescenti-niger, alis caudaque obscurioribus ; pileo ochra- 
ceo-rufo ; macula utringue anteoculari et speculo alari con- 
spicuo cum toto corpore subtus albis ; lateribus in cinereum tra- 
hentibus ; capitis lateribus nigris; tectricibus alarum inferi- 
oribus albis ; rostro pedibusque nigris. 
Long. tota 6:2; alee 2°8; caude 2°7. 
Hab. in rep. Equatoriana (Jameson).
