Though the bill is somewhat stouter, this is a small dark form of G. guatemalensis 

 found in Costa Eica and the State of Panama, another still smaller allied form 

 {G. regulus) occurring in Guiana, Colombia, and Ecuador. 



G. princeps was discovered by our collector Arce, who sent us several specimens from 

 the State of Panama. It was subsequently found in Costa Eica, whence we have also 

 an example and where Mr. Zeledon has met with it.

This Grallaria was one of M'Leannan's discoveries during his residence on the 

 Isthmus of Panama. Mr. Lawrence described his first specimens in 1861 1, and the 

 bird has since been traced as far as the district of Chiriqui ^. Other records of it are 

 given in Costa Eica and Nicaragua, but the birds there referred to doubtless belong — 

 the former to G. intermedia and the latter to G. dives. 



The olive-brown back, with its fawn-coloured elongated shaft-stripes, render this 

 species distinct from all its southern allies and from the closely aflSned Central- 

 American birds which follow. 



M'Leannan says G. perspicillata is not common on the Isthmus of Panama, where it 

 it is to be observed in the dense woods and jungle, leading a solitary life on the 

 ground ^.
