Remarks. — This form known only from the type, is a diminutive of 

 Grallaria guatimalensis from which it is possibly specifically distinct. Gral- 

 laria reguhis Sol. of Ecuador, resembles guatimalensis above but is much 

 paler below and its white throat-patch and strongly white or buff-streaked 

 olivaceous breast, more olive wings, etc. show that it is quite a different 



species, which the form here described does not approach.

Grallaria alleni Cbapu., BuU. A. M. N. H., XXXI, 1912, p. 148 (Salento, Col.). 



Char. sp. — Allied to, Grallaria varia (Bodd.) but distinguished chiefly by its 

 darker upperparts, whitish, unmarked belly, black markings in the malar streaks, 

 and other characters. 



Known only from the type, taken at Salento.

Inhabits the Temperate Zone of the Central and Eastern Andes. It 

 was common in the first-named range but a specimen collected by Fuertes 

 was the only one observed in the Bogota region. This closely agrees with 

 other birds in our series which, as a whole, is uniformly colored and shows 

 no approach toward the Ecuadorian G. nuchalis. An old 'Bogota' skin 

 agrees with a fresh one above but is decidedly browner below.

Our five specimens were taken in the Temperate Zone of the Central 

 Andes near the Quindio Pass. I have no material for comparison but the 

 locality in question is not far distant from the type-locality.

Common in the upper Temperate Zone of the Central Andes. We 

 have not met with it elsewhere. Our Colombian specimens agree with four
