Mr. P. L. Sclater on the Genus Grallaria. 439 
examples of every species except Grallaria gigantea, G. varia , 
G. modesta, and G. ochroleuca. 
In his list of Grallaria, published in 1842 (Rev. Zool. 
1842, p. 333), Lafresnaye was able to include only nine 
species of this genus. In the c Nomenelator’ (1873) Mr. 
Salvin and I gave twenty.

The series of nine specimens of this bird in the collections 
above named presents no great amount of variation. In two 
skins, collected by Mr. Buckley in Ecuador, the throat is 
nearly white; but I observe a tendency to this in other ex¬ 
amples from different localities, and one of the same collector’s 
specimens from Yungas, Bolivia, agrees in every way with 
typical examples from Columbia. Mr. Goering obtained this 
species in the Sierra Nevada of Merida; so that it appears to 
extend throughout the Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia.
