_Description._--Above reddish brown; head blackish; sides of head
pale cinereous: beneath chestnut-brown; chin pale cinereous;
lower half of abdomen pale ochraceous, distinctly barred with
undulating black bands; bill brown, yellowish at the base; feet
dark flesh-colour: whole length 12·0 inches, wing 6·2, tail 1·8.
_Hab._ Southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Northern Argentina.
White refers a Tinamou which he shot at Oran in November 1880 to
_Crypturus cinereus_. There can be little doubt, however, that the
specimen in question really belonged to the allied species _C.
obsoletus_, which is known to occur in Paraguay. The true _C. cinereus_
is from a much more northern locality, and is not likely to be found
in Argentina.
