C'amiiylorhyncliiiH {(Ularis, Sclatkr, P. Z. S. 1860, 402 (Mexico). This is a very short-billed species, closely allied to C. humilis in this respect, as well as in the r"ddisli-brown head. The post-ocular stripe, however, is said to be black, as well as a rictal oiw. The tail is broadly tipped with white. The two lateral tail feathers have large white spots on both webs (not on the outermost only).

Am.," as well as in the general synopsis of the family in the preceding pages, for my present purposes. It is, however, especially peculiar among all its cognate genera by having the usual two continuous plates along the posterior half of the inner and outer faces of the tarsus divided transversely into seven or more smaller plates, with a naked interval between them and the anterior scutelloe. At the upper end of the outer plate these divisions or lines
