Head anteriorly nearly white; lateral lower parts more spotted; cer- 

 vical black patch more conspicuous. Wing, 4.10 ; tail, 2.90. 



A specimen in the collection of Mr. Lawrence is almost perfectly 

 similar to those described, except that the spots on the crown are 

 more distinct, and there are eight rufous bands on the tail, including 

 the extreme basal and the terminal ones. Its habitat is queried as 

 Brazil, which is probably correct. It measures, wing, 4.10; tail, 

 2.60; culmen, .45. 



This species is perfectly distinct from any other described in this 

 work. For its name we are indebted to the manuscript label by Dr. 

 Wilson, who quotes " Leyd. Mus." The identification by this gen- 

 tleman being generally entirely trustworthy, we feel safe in retaining 

 the name above given.
