The names ‘“ Perdix cambaiensis”’? Latham, 1790, and 
“Cryptonyx rufus’? Temminck, which Mr. Ogilvie-Grant 
quoted as doubtfully referring to this species, cannot have 
anything to do with it, the descriptions being taken from 
a specimen then in the British Museum, and afterwards 
lost, which was from Guzerat, India. Vigors described the 
male and female as two different species, calling them 
*“Cryptonye niger” and “ Cryptonyx ferrugineus,’ from 
the specimens collected in Sumatra by Sir Stamford 
Raffles. Afterwards Eyton described the Malaccan bird 
again as “ Perdix eruginosus.” Other names have not been 
given. 
Mr. Cuar.es Cuuss described three new species of birds 
from Ecuador and Peru as follows :— 
Chamepetes fagani, sp. nov. 
Adult female. Allied to C. goudotit (Less.) but is easily 
distinguished by its darker coloration, smaller size, and red 
face in life. Head, back, wings, and tail dark oil-green; 
sides of face and throat blackish brown ; fore-neck olive- 
brown with slightly paler edges to the feathers; breast and 
abdomen dark chestnut, becoming still darker on the flanks 
and under tail-coverts; under wing-coverts bronze-green 
slightly tinged with rufous; under surface of flight-quills 
blackish brown with glossy reflections ; lower aspect of tail 
bluish black, tinged with rufous-brown on the apical portion, 
on which the shafts are dull coral-red. 
** Bill dark brown ; iris brown; skin of face and throat 
shrimp-red ; feet red” (W. Goodfellow).
