I have four “ Bogota ” skins of this bird, two in adult and 
two in young plumage. I have never met with it from any 
other locality. 
Lesson’s “ Megalonyx nanus ” is probably intended for this 
species, and the locality “Chiloe” incorrect. Lafresnaye’s 
Merulaxis squamiger may be the young bird.

“ Capite collo pectoreque schistaceis ; dorso cauda alisque
