E. E. albiceps dictae simillima, sed alis caudaque pro usu 

 multo longioribus, corpore supra obscuriore terreno-brunneo, 

 fere unicolore, ìiecnoii cristae plumis lateralibus plerumque 

 magis elongatis distinguenda.

I am not yet in a position to say positively if there is but 

 one form of the albiceps-gvou]) inhabiting- Peru, or if there 

 are, perhaps, two or three. 



Specimens from Marcapata, Cuzco, Santa Ana, and Caja- 

 bamba are very large, very dark on the upperparts and 

 rather greyish on the underparts, with little or no greenish 

 and yellowish tints, and having the crest feathers very much 

 developed. One specimen from Garita (Chanchamayo) is 

 very small and resembles the Chilian bird. One male from 

 Cajabamba and a female from Chepen, both in worn plumage, 

 are small and have the underparts very light coloured, nearby 

 greyish-white. They also show rather more white in the 

 crown, the crest feathers being exceedingly developed. Birds 

 from Lima are medium-sized and have the whitish wing- 

 bands either obsolete, or but slightly indicated by greyish- 

 olive tips to the wing-coverts. They apparently have the 

 throat and breast of a lighter grey than in eastern specimens.
