Mr. E. Hartert further submitted some other new South- 

 American birds^ collected in Ecuador by I\Ir. Rosenberg. 

 He characterized them as follows : — 



CzRUO.^iACRA ROSEXBERGI, Sp. U.

 white tips. Bend of wing mixed black and white. Wing-

 bill 19, tarsus 28. 



Cachabi, N.orth Ecuador, 500 feet high. Named in honour 

 of the discoverer. 



This species is allied to C. tyrannina and C. approximans, 

 but differs in having no white on the inner edges of the 

 wing, and in having no large white spot on the bend of 

 the wing. The tips to the wing-coverts are rather rounded, 

 the rectrices having no white tips whatever.

 of Count Berlepsch, the eminent specialist in South- American 

 birds. 



Tliis species differs from P . ater chiefly in its considerably 

 smaller size, while P. picea has, besides a much larger-sized 

 toe, the inner wing-lining whitish.
