In the ‘ Catalogue of Birds,’ Count Salvadori has given the range of C. pileatus as 
extending from Guiana to Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Central 
America to Mexico’. From an examination of the series in our collection, however, 
we cannot follow our distinguished colleague in this identification, and we contend 
that there are at least three species within the area which he has apportioned to one 
form. 
The true C. pileatus should bear the name of C. soui (Hermann), which takes 
precedence over that of C. pileatus (Bodd.) [cf. Richmond, Auk, 1900, p 1781 
The Guiana species is of a vinous-chestnut tint above, with the sides of the body 
similarly coloured ; the lower breast and abdomen are cinnamon, and the lower part 
of the throat and front of the neck are not shaded with ashy-brown. Length about 9-0, 
wing 90°25, tail 1-3, culmen 0-9, tarsus 1:4. These are the characters of @. Sout, as 
shown in a female specimen from Bartica Grove, procured by the late Henry Whitely 
on the 24th of January, 1880. We also have the true C. sowd from the Sierra Nevada 
of Santa Marta, where an example was obtained by Mr. F. Simons at Pueblo V iejo.
