Lord Tweeddale on Pellorneum tickelli, Blyth. 451 
The two type specimens of this species are the only ex¬ 
amples I have yet seen. They were collected by Arce in 
1864, at Tucurriqui, on the Atlantic slope of Costa Rica. 
The species is included by Mr. Lawrence in a list of birds 
obtained near Grey town. 
This Grallaria is nearest to G. fulviventris, but is greyer on 
the back, has the outer margins of the primaries rufous and 
the lores fulvous, instead of white. 
27. Grallaria ochroleuca. 
Myioturdus ochroleucus, Max. Beitr. iii. p. 1032; Menetr. 
Mon. p. 464. 
Grallaria ochroleuca , Sclater, P. Z. S. 1858, p. 282; Pelzeln, 
Orn. Bras, p. 91; Scl. et Salv. Nom. Av. Neotr. p. 76. 
Similis G. macularia, sed rostro multo angustiore et magis 
compresso, maculis externis tectricum nullis; maculis 
solum in lateribus pectoris et ventris, et his minoribus et 
rotundis; ungue postico gracili, elongato; oculorum am- 
bitu nudo : long, tota 5’5, alae 3*0, caudse 1*5, tarsi 1*4. 
Hab. Prov. Bahia, Brazil (Max.)', S. Paulo (. Natt .). 
Some years ago I took the above notes from an example 
of this species in the Leyden Museum. I have never yet been 
able to obtain one for my own collection, nor have I seen 
the species elsewhere.

XXXIX.— Note on the Pellorneum tickelli of Blyth. By 
Arthur, Marquis of Tweeddale, M.B.O.U. 
(Plates X., XI.) 
Since I addressed a letter relating to this species to the Editors 
of ‘The Ibis 5 on the 26th of April [v. s. } p. 385), I have 
received from Tenasserim specimens of true Pellorneum tickelli , 
obtained at Meetan by Mr. Limborg. These have been com¬ 
pared by Lieut.-Col. Godwin-Austen with Blyth’s types, still 
extant in the Calcutta Museum, and identified by him as 
belonging to Blyth 5 s species. These examples enable me to 
state that Blyth 5 s identification of P. tickelli with P. sub- 
ochraceum , Swinhoe (B. of Burma, no. 359), is erroneous. • 
I am unable even to class P. tickelli under the genus Pellor-
