 under pale yellowish red ; quills blackish within ; forehead a trifle

 with hairy feathers ; head large ; that and the neck cinereous, with 

 pale streaks on the forehead and crown, and still paler on the chin

 under parts of the body, as also the under wing coverts, are paler

 fulvous ; legs brown ; claws hooked ; the wings reach about one- 

 third on the tail, which is three inches in length. 



Inhabits Brazil ; in the collection of Lord Stanley. I have 



" mi 



observed a bird very similar to this, if not the same, differing only 

 in the size of the head and bill, both of which are smaller in 



proportion ; perhaps this may be a young bird, or differing in sex.
