Show 1868.] ON BIRDS F R O M CONCHITAS. 141 28. SYNALLAXIS ALBESCENS (Temm.). One skin, marked "very scarce," agreeing with South-Brazilian examples of this species. Burmeister's S. ruficapilla (I. c. p. 468) is probably the same bird; but the true S. ruficapilla (Vieill.) seems to be the Brazilian species with the whole head and tail rufous. See Sclater, P. Z. S. 1856, p. 97. 29. SYNALLAXIS MALUROTDES (D'Orb.). Not noticed by Burmeister. 30. SYNALLAXIS ANTHOIDES, King. Not mentioned by Burmeister. " Resident: lives on the ground." 31. ANUMBIUS ACUTICAUDATUS (Less.) ; Burm. I. c.p. 467. 32. PLACELLODOMUS RUBER (Vieill.) ; Burm. I. c. p. 467. 33. LIMNORNIS CURVIROSTRIS, Gould, Zool. Voy. Beagle, iii. p. 81, t. 25. Two skins of this rare species originally obtained by Darwin from reed-beds in the vicinity of Maldonado. Not mentioned by Burmeister. 34. THAMNOPHILUS ARGENTINUS, Cab. ; Burm. I. c. p. 472. " Summer visitor." Three skins of this species, representing the Brazilian Th. torquatus. The female has the tail rufous, and no cross bands on the body below. 35. MYIOTHERETES RUFIVENTRIS (Vieill.). Not mentioned by Burmeister, but obtained by Mr. Darwin at Maldonado and Bahia Blanca, and in Sclater's collection from the Parana. 36. TAENIOPTERA CORONATA (Vieill.) ; Burm. I. c. p. 459. 37. TAENIOPTERA IRUPERO (Vieill.). T. mcesta, Burm. I. c. p. 460. 38. SISOPYGIS ICTEROPHRYS (Vieill.). Teenioptera icterophrys, Burm. I. c. p. 460. " Summer visitor." Sexes, as marked, alike. 39. LICHENOPS PERSPICILLATUS (Gm.); Burm. I. c. p. 457. Three specimens of this bird in black plumage, and two in the rufous plumage (L. erythropterus), which Mr. Darwin * considers to be a distinct species, but which is usually regarded as the same bird in female dress. Two of Mr. Hudson's black-plumaged birds are marked/emaZc* ; but so are also both his red-plumaged ones, so that we can offer no additional evidence upon this disputed point. We * Zool. Voy.
