pair. On the whole we are inclined to think this bird approaches more nearly to Anahazenops 

 than to any other form of the group. 



All specimens of Tkripadectes that have yet come under notice have been " Bogota " skins, 

 but whether they have been collected in the highlands or lowlands of the Columbian Republic 

 we are unable to state. Mr. Eyton's type is in his own collection, but he likewise speaks of two 

 specimens being in the Derby Museum. Our figure is taken from a skin in Sclater's cabinet. 

 There is likewise an example in the collection of Salvin and Godman.
