Kidgway.J 100 [May 21, 



A dull female (24888, Bogota; L. de Geoffroy). Similar, but not 

 quite so dark, there being considerable contrast between the sepia- 

 brown of the general upper surface and the black cervical collar. 

 Tail with six bands, similar to those of the male. Wing, 4.20; tail, 

 2.70; tarsus, .75; middle toe, .70. Wing formula, 5, 4, 3 = 6—7—8— 

 2 ; 1st shortest. 



A specimen from Guiana, in the collection of Mr. G. N. Lawrence, is 

 exactly similar to No. 24887, except that the white of the lower parts 

 and lining of the wing are tinged with fulvous. 



I am not positive that these specimens represent the true G. jar- 

 dinii of Bonaparte, since there are several minor discrepancies 

 between his description of that species and the characters of the 

 birds here described. Considering, however, that they correspond 

 quite closely with the description cited, and that- they are from the 

 same locality as the type, I prefer retaining, provisionally at least, 

 the name given above, to risking a new one on uncertain grounds.
