42. Glyphorhynchus castelnaudi, DesMurs, Voy. Cast, et 

 Dev. Ois. pi. 15. fig. 2. 



Irides hazel. Three ex. Seems hardly different from Brasilian ex- 

 amples of G. cuneatus, as far as I have hitherto been able to com- 

 pare it. Mr. Fraser has sent the nest and eggs of this species, 

 taken near San Jorge (Pallatanga), October 1858. It was placed in 

 a hole in a large tree only about 3 feet from the ground. The nest 

 is scanty, as is usually the case with birds which breed in such situa- 

 tions, consisting of a small quantity of moss and fine roots mixed 

 with dead wood. The eggs, two in number, are of a pure white, 

 and rather broad in comparison to their length. They measure 0*8 

 by 0'7 inch. 



43. Anabates subalaris, sp. nov. 



Fusco-brunneus : uropygio et cauda tota saturate ferrugineis : 

 striis capitis et colli superioris, plumarum scapas occupantibus, 

 cam gula tota et striis pectoris latioribus pallide cervinis : tec- 

 tricibus subalaribus dare cinnamomeis : rostro superiore nigro, 

 inferiore plumbeo : pedibus virescentibus. 



Long, tota 6*75, alse 3*5, caudse 3*0. 



Five ex. "Irides dark hazel." 



44. Anabates temporalis, sp. nov. 



Rufescenti- brunneus, cauda ferruginea ; capite olivascente, ocu- 

 lorum ambitu et superciliis ante oculum angustis cum gula tota 

 stramineis, striga superciliari post oculum, pectore toto et tec- 

 tricibus subalaribus clare cinnamomeis : ventre crissoque fusees- 

 centibus : rostro fuscescenti-viridi, apice pallidiore : pedibus 

 fuscis. 



Long, tota 6*0, alee 3*6, caudse 2' 5. 

 Two ex. " Irides hazel." 



45. Synallaxis elegans, Sclater. 



Five ex. " Irides hazel ; bill blackish above, horn-colour beneath ; 

 legs and feet green." 



46. Dysithamnus unicolor, sp. nov. 



Obscure schistaceus unicolor : alis caudaque nigricantioribus : 

 subalaribus albo variegatis : rostro nigro, pedibus plumbeis. 



2 • Obscure ferruginea, subtus dilutior : lateribus capitis cineras- 

 centioribus. 



Long, tota 5*6, alse 2 -8, caudse 2*3. 



A pair of these birds, <e from the lower trees and underwood : 

 irides grey." The species must be placed next to D. schistaceus of 

 my Synopsis. It differs in its shorter stouter bill, the white mark- 

 ings beneath the wings, and want of white terminations to the rec- 

 trices. The brown bird is marked by Mr. Fraser as ' male ;' but I 

 have little doubt this is wrong.
