Icemus the bill is thinner and more elougated, yellowish, with the 

 culmen horn-colour, and the feet are pale brown. 



25. Anabates pyrrhodes, Cab. in Schomb. Guian. hi. p. 689. 

 — A. ochraceus, Lafr. MS. 



A specimen referable, as I believe, to this species, of which I have 

 seen examples in the Paris Museum and in the collection of the Aca- 

 demy at Philadelphia, is marked "A. ochraceus, Lafr."

 de Zool. 1838, p. 14 (teste Lafresnayo). 



27. Anabates pulvericolor, sp.nov. — Synallaxis pulvericolor, 

 Lafr. MS. 



Terricolori-brunneus, interscapulio saturatiore, subtus dilutior, 

 alls extus et cauda omnino rufis : rostro brevi, paulum incurvo, 

 albo ; pedibus robustis, plumbeis. 



Long, tota 6 - 2, alse 2'6, caudse 2 - 8 ; tarsi 0'8, rostri a fronte 0"5. 



A single bad specimen of this species belonging to M. de Lafres- 

 naye, and kindly lent to me by him along with other specimens 

 selected from this collection, bears the MS. name Synallaxis pulveri- 

 color. It appears, however, to me to be better placed with Ana- 

 bates, and more nearly resembles the figure given in Buffou's PI. 

 Enl. of Anabates guianensis, which is the type of the genus, than 

 anything I have yet seen. Had it been from Guiana instead of the 

 Rio Napo, I should have thought it was probably referable to that 

 long-lost species. 



It certainly is not a typical Anabates, speaking of the set of birds 

 commonly so called, the bill being shorter, straighter, and smaller 

 than in these birds generally, though not very different from that of 

 Anabates erythrophthalmus, but it is more nearly allied to Anabates 

 than to any species of Synallaxis with which I am acquainted.

Agrees with my specimen from Bogota, and confirms my impres- 

 sion as to the validity of this species. 



Long. tota6 - 2, alse 3 # 0, caudse 2*3, rostri a fronte "8, a rictu 1*1, 

 tarsi *9. 



29. Synallaxis brunneicaudalis, sp. nov, — Synallaxis brun- 

 neicauda, Lafr. MS. 



Supra olivaceo-brannea, alis extus et pileo castaneis, subtus 

 obscure cinerascens, lateribus olivaceo indutis : caudce rectri- 

 cibus decern, colore saturate purpurascenti-brunneis, plumarum 

 scapis nigris : tectricibus suba/aribus ochraceo-fiavis : rostro 

 nigro, gonydis basi albicante : pedibus brunneis.
