be often seen the little Broad-billed Tyrant-bird, known also as 

 Pipitoorie [Todirostrxim cinereum) ." 



The following note is copied from C. A. Lloyd (Timehri (2) xi. 

 p. 4.) : — ''The Pipiturie (Todii'ostrum cinereum) is remarkable for 

 the manner in which it departs from the generality in the con- 

 struction of their nests. The Pipiturie builds a long purse-like 

 nest in which to lay its two small white eggs."

 l)ack dark slate-grey ; wings black with yellow margins to the 

 median and greater upper wing-coverts and inner secondary- 

 quills, primary-quills somewhat paler with olivf-green edges to

Total length 86 mm., exposed culmen 11, wing 44, tail 29,

The bird described was collected on the Makauria River in 

 August 1910. 



I have measured the type in the British Museum, which is 

 sexed as female, and from its smaller size (wing 38 mm.) I am 

 inclined to think that the bird described above must be a male.
