Adult birds from the Rio Madeira agree with the type in the Munich Museum. 
The two young ones from Calama have the bill blackish, and, like Peruvian 
examples, the legs and feet pale fleshy brown. Cf. my remarks, J.c., pp. 349-50.

N. pileata, though widely distributed in Amazonia and Brazil, is very localized, 
frequenting exclusively the “campos” districts. First record from the Rio Madeira.

On his first expedition to the Rio Madeira, in 1906, Mr. Hoffmanns obtained 
an adult male, the type, at Humaytha, left bank. In the male sex, /1. J, 
centralis differs at a glance from all the other races of the flavicollis group by 
the deep velvety black coloration of the upper parts. The female may be dis- 
tinguished by its darker, dull olive upper parts, and rather brighter yellow belly. 
In size and in the large, rather strong bill it resembles the female of H. ee 
‘melanoxantha. 
A review of the various geographic races is given in Nov. Zool. xiv. pp. 350-53, 
Hi f. centralis inhabits the basin of the Madeira and its tributaries.

This specimen differs from an adult male in Count Berlepsch’s collection

specimen is no longer in the Vienna Museum.
