PERUVIAN 8T0NE-CUBLEW. CEdicnemus dorso vermiculato sive angust^ fasciato; strig^ nigr^ lata supra oculum utrumque. Diagnosis. ScLATER and Salvin figure an undoubtedly immature bird with the wing-coverts, scapulars, Variations. and tertials vermiculated, but with a very conspicuous black stripe on the side of the neck below as well as above the white eye-stripe. Two other examples in their collection, one immature and the other apparently adult, show no trace of the second black stripe. Taczanowski, who examined the skins, ignores the differences, probably thinking that it was impossible that a second species could occur in Western Peru. The subject requires further investigation ; but the only conclusion that can be drawn from the evidence available at present is that the black band below the white eye-stripe is confined to the young in first plumage.
