Charles I., Galapagos. 



When writing my paper on the birds of the Galapagos Islands, 

 I overlooked the record of the occurrence of this bird on the main- 

 land, Fraser having obtained a specimen at Esmeraldas in 1859 

 (P. Z. S. 18fi0, p. 291). We have recently received specimens from 

 the island of Puna ; and MM. Jelski and Stolzmann found it at Santa 

 Lucia, in Western Peru (c/. P. Z. S. 1877, p. 744). 



8. Geothlypis auricularis, n. sp. 



Supra olivaeea, capite summo cinereo , fronte anguste, loris et regione 

 suboculari nigris, regions parotica saturate oleaginea ; subtus Icete 

 flava, suhalaribus et campterio alari luteis ; rostri maxilla cornea, 

 mandibula pallida, pedibus carneis. Long, tola 4'5, al(e 2'2, 

 caudce 1*7, rostri a rictu 0*68, taisi 0"8. 

 6 . Callao, Peru, December 1881 {A. H. MarJcham). 

 Obs. G. (Equinoctiali proxima, sed colore oleagineo regionis paro- 

 ticae distinguenda. 



Capt. Markham's collection contains a single male specimen of 

 this species, which seems different from the closely allied forms, of 

 which G. tEquinoctialis is perhaps the best known. G. semijlava, 

 which is its nearest neighbour, has the whole of the ear-coverts black 

 and no grey on the head. G. chiriquensis has the grey head, but 

 the ear-coverts are black.
