by P. O. Simons on the 29th of July, 1901. 
Leptoptila intermedia, sp. nov. 
Adult male. Crown of head, nape, and hind neck some-

darker and in having the sides of the face and fore-neck 
ochreous brown; breast dull vinous, becoming ochraceous 
on the abdomen and sides of the body, and buff on the
