" Two examples of this species obtained at Chamicuros ; also the nest and eggs.

There is a thin lining to the nest of fine roots and fibres of palm, extremely loose and roughly put together. Ground-colour of eggs white, inclining to pink, marked with pale brown, mostly at the larger end, and resembling somewhat the eggs of our Redbreast."-E. B. 17. XENOPS RUTILUS, Licht.
