Show 1873.] MR. P. L. SCLATER ON PERUVIAN BIRDS. 781 having been made upon the female, which is the type of Tschudi's Turdus serranus. I have now seen examples of this representative of T. merula from Tobago, Trinidad, Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru. 2. THRYOPHILUS FULVUS, sp. nov. Terreno-brunneus, sive fulvus, unicolor: frontis et pilei antici plumis erectis : superciliis latis indistinctis et gutture toto albescentibus : alis extus et cauda tota lineis nigris crebro transfasciatis ; remigibus intus nigricantibus, horum margine interno et subalaribus fulvis : rostro superiore corneo, inferiore flavicante, pedibus cornels: long, tota 5*5, alee 2*1, caudce rectr. med. 2*3, lat. 1*6, tarsi *92, rostri a rictu *85. Hab. Peruvia alta, Huasampilla, ad alt. 10,000 ped. (Whitely). Mus. P. L. S. One skin of this Wren was procured at Huasampilla in March 1872. It reminds one rather of Cinnicerthia unibrunnea, but appears to belong to the open-nostrilled section of Wrens, which Baird has called Thryophilus (Rev. A. B. p. 127), but is not very like any of the other species. It may be distinguished by its uniform tint, the brown, pale, but ill-defined superciliary mark, and the whitish throat. 4. TROGLODYTES SOLSTITIALIS, Sclater. Originally described from skins collected by Fraser in Ecuador. I have since obtained Bogota specimens. Mr. Whitely's example shows that it likewise ranges southwards into Peru. 16. CASSICUS CHRYSONOTUS, Lafr. et D'Orb. Syn. Av. ii. p. 3; D'Orb. Voy. Ois. p. 367, pl. hi. fig. 1. Cassiculus chrysonotus, Bp. Consp. i. p. 428. This is the first example that has come before m y notice of this most distinct species, easily recognizable by its uniform black plumage and yellow rump. It is slightly crested, as is shown in D'Orbigny's figure. 19. OCHTHCECA RUFIPECTORALIS. Fluvicola rufipectoralis, Lair, et D'Orb. Syn. Av. i. p. 60; D'Orb. Voy. Ois. p. 345, pl. xxxvii. fig. 2. Octhoeca rufipectoralis, Scl. P. Z. S. 1871, p. 750. This southern representative of O. lessoni of Columbia and Ecuador is readily distinguishable by the absence (or very indistinct presence) of the buffy rufous margins to the wing-coverts and by the brighter red of the breast, but is otherwise very similar. 21. TODIROSTRUM PULCHELLUM, sp. nov. Supra nigrum, uropygio flavicante: alarum tectricibus minoribus luride castaneis, majoribus flavis, secundariorum marginibus externis flavidis : subtus flavum, gutture albo, subalaribus flavidis ; cauda nigra, rectricis unius utrinque extimee pogonio externo flavi- |
