Specimens from the Rio Madeira agree, in colour and size, with the typical 
Cayenne form. 
29. Dacnis angelica angelica Bonap.* 
Dacenis angelica (De Filippi MS.) Bonaparte, Atti Riun, Sci. Ital. 1844, p. 404 nota (1845 —“ ex 
Brasilia” : descr. ¢ ad.). 
D. cayana (not of Linnaeus) Pelzeln, /.c. p. 25 (Salto do Girao). 
No. 444. $ad., Calama, 23. viii. 1907. “Tris clear yellow, feet and bill 
black.”—Wing 57 ; tail 41; bill 10 mm. 
The specimen does not bear out the characters mentioned by me in Nov. Zool. 
xii. p. 271. It is even brighter greenish on the back and sides of the belly than 
Bogoté skins ; besides the cheeks and throat are distinctly washed with pale 
greenish blue. Anadult male from Salto do Girao (Natterer coll., Vienna Museum) 
is not appreciably different from others found in Bogota collections. 
30. Dacnis flaviventer Lafr. & D’Orb. 
Dacnis flaviventer Lafresnaye & D’Orbigny, Syn. Av.i,in Mag. Zool. cl. ii. p. 21 (1837. —“ Yuracares, 
rep. Boliviana ”). 
Nos. 176, 662. dd ad., Calama, 6. vii. 1907; S. Isabel, 10. x. 1907.— Wing 
63; tail 40, 41; bill 12 mm. 
No. 340. dimm., Calama, 6. viii. 1907.— Wing 58; tail 41; bill 114 mm. 
Nos. 490, 720. ? ? ad., Calama, 30. viii. 1907; 8S. Isabel, 19. x. 1907.—Wing 
64, 61 ; tail 44, 42; bill 11, 12 mm. 
No. 859. $ juv., Marmellos, 24. xii. 1907.—Wing 62; tail 44; bill 114 mm. 
“Tris red or yellowish red, feet black, plumbeous (720, 859), bill black.” 
This beantifal bird has recently been recorded from various localities in 
Amazonia. Mr. Hoffmanns secured a couple at Teffé;t Mr. E. Garbe a female 
on the banks of the Rio Jurua; { the Pari Museum received several examples from 
the Upper Paris ;§ and Miss Snethlage met with it on the island of Goyana in the 
Tapajéz. || 
[31. Dacnis bicolor (Vieill.). 
Sylvia bicolor Vieillot, Ois. Amér. Sept. ii. p. 32. pl. 90 bis (1807.—‘‘ trés rarement sous la zone 
boréale et plus communément entre les tropiques.”—We substitute Cayenne as type locality, 
Type in Paris Museum examined). 
Dendroeca bicolor Pelzeln, /.c. p. 71 (Rio Madeira). 
Rio Madeira, November 1829 (Natterer). 
Natterer’s specimens are not different from others obtained in Venezuela and 
Bahia. It may be mentioned that the two birds registered by Pelzeln s.n. 
“ Nemosia spec.” {| are young males of the present species. ] 
* In Nov. Zool. xii. 1905, p. 271, I employed the term melanotis for the Brazilian race, under the 
erroneous assumption that D. angelica had been based on Colombian specimens. However, D. melanotis 
Strickl. is apparently a synonym of D. angelica, while the western form is entitled to the name 
arcangelica Bonap.
