Mr. Bartlett has sent two similar examples of this bird (labelled male and female) from the Ucayali. It is a well-marked species, easily known by its dark rusty-rufous back and clearly defined white throat, the breast being light rufous. The head above is earthy brown, rather darker than in F. cinnamomeus. The first primary is unspotted. In the second a large rounded pale cinnamomeous spot appears in the inner web about halfway up. This increases in size in the third and next following primaries, and ultimately descends to the base of the web. The seventh and succeeding primaries have a large terminal spot of dark rufous in the inner web. There is also an oblique band of dark rufous across the primaries, beginning with the third, which corresponds with the markings on the inner web. The wings are short, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth primaries being nearly equal and longest. 62. FURNARIUS MINOR, Von Pelzeln, Sitz. Ak.Wien, xxxi. p. 321, et xxxiv. p. 115. Hab. Nauta.
