In Nov. Zool. xiv. p. 44, I have given a résumé of the ranges and characters of 
P. 7. peruviana and its allies, to which I have nothing to add.

Absolutely identical with topotypical Bolivian examples. The young female 
differs from the adult ones by having the cap washed with olive-greenish; the sides 
of the head dull brownish instead of cinereous, the under parts of a deeper, more 
buffy yellow, and the throat tinged with yellowish.

Right bank : Borba (Natterer). Apparently of wide distribution in Amazonia, 
being recorded from British Guiana and Eastern Pern. 
Natterer’s specimens from Borba agree well with others from Guiana. |

Dr. Lorenz has kindly sent for my inspection the three adult males obtained 
by Natterer. One is practically identical with topotypical Pard examples, while the 
two others have the ochreous patch on the sides of the chest even darker and more 
decidedly mixed with ferruginous. 
T. s. insignis is hitherto only known from the Parad district, and from Borba, 
* The latter locality inadvertently omitted,
