reddish vinous ; and bill longer. 
Total length 282 mm.; exposed culmen 15 ; wing 175 ;

The type, which is in the British Museum, was collected 
at Anolaima, W. slope of E. Cordillera, at an altitude of 
5000 feet, by T. H. Wheeler—Salvin-Godman collection. 
Mr. Cuvuss also made the following observations on two 
forms of Gymnopelia :— 
Columba (Chamepelia) cecilie Lesson, Echo du Monde 
Savant, January 12, 1845: Peru (Reprint 1913, p. 229), 
has priority over Columba (Chamepelia) anais Lesson, Descr. 
Mamm. et Ois. 1847, p. 210, not Echo du Monde Savant, 
1845—as quoted in Brabourne & Chubb’s List of the Birds 
of South America, p. 17, no. 170: Peru—and must stand as 
Gymnopelia cecilie cecilie (Less.). 
Hab. Northern Peru. 
I now propose to separate the Bolivian bird as a subspecies 
under the following title :-— 
Gymnopelia cecilie gymnops (Gray MS.). 
Adult male. Differs from G. c. cecilig in being darker and 
incliing to earth-brown on the upper surface instead of 
grey, the top of the head, hind-neck, and mantle strongly 
tinged with vinous, the upper tail-coverts cinnamon-brown ; 
the fore-neck and breast bright vinous instead of pale 
vinous, and the abdomen and under tail-coverts buff instead 
of pale isabelline, “ Eyes blue ; feet pink ; bill black” (P.O. 
Simons). 
Total length 181 mm.; exposed culmen 11; wing 101 ; 
tail 68; tarsus 18. 
The Snale described was collected at Challapata, Bolten 
at an altitude of 3750 metres, by P. O. Simons on October 
the 14th, 1901.
