Show 1874.] MR. P. L. SCLATER O N T H E G E N U S SYNALLAXIS. 15 This species is occasionally met with in collections from Bogota. Mr. Salmon has recently sent skins from Antioquia, showing that its range extends to that district of Columbia. 21. SYNALLAXIS CASTANEA. Synallaxis castanea, Sclater, Ann. & Mag. N.

Castanea, gutture medio nigro : rostro et pedibus nigris : long, tota 7*5, alee 2*3, caudce 4. Hab. Venezuela; Caracas (Levraud) ; Merida (Goering). This Synallaxis is of the same form as the preceding, but easily known by its black throat. It is not uncommon in Venezuelan collections. 22. SYNALLAXIS KOLLARI. (Plate III. fig. 1.)

Rio Brancho (Natt.). I am not aware that any other specimens have been obtained of this well-marked species since the original examples were collected by Natterer near Fort S. Joachim on the Rio Brancho in 1831 and 1832. j 23. SYNALLAXIS CAND^EI. (Plate III. fig. 2.) Synallaxis candcei, Lafr. et D'Orb. R. Z. 1838, p. 168 ; Bp. Consp. i. p. 213; Scl. P. Z. S. 1871, p. 85.
