 dif3tini?ui8hable by its greyish abdomen, which is only whiter iii the 

 roidiile line.

I was rather uncertain as to tlie correct position of this little bird, 

 which is quite distinct from anything that 1 am ac<]uuintcd with ; but 

 Count Salvador!, to wlrom I have sent a skin for examination, kindly tells 

 me it is a Gert/tftjne. The hill is rather compressed, and tiie tarsi are long 

 and slender. The third, fourth, fiftli, and sixth primaries are nearly 

 equal and longest. The irides are noted as black,
