The series fully corroborates what I have said about the distinguishing 
characters of P. c. coronatus and P. c. superciliaris. In addition to the differ- 
ences mentioned J.c., the rufescent brown edges to the rectrices are another point 
that will serve to recognize the former race. The adult males have a large golden 
yellow coronal patch bordered laterally by a broad tawny stripe, whereas in the 
female and young male the whole pileum is tawny ochraceous. Cheeks and under 
parts are always maize-yellow, with a buffy brown wash on chest and sides.

The adult birds agree perfectly with several topotypical specimens from North- 
Eastern Pern (Nauta). A series from the Rio Napo (Wiener coll., Paris Museum), 
the examples obtained by Natterer on the Rio Negro and Rio Branco,* as well as 
skins from Teffé, Rio Jurnd, and Itaittiba, west bank of Tapajéz, belong likewise. 
to the same race. All of these many specimens differ from a good series of true 
T. m. maculatum, from Cayenne, Surinam, and British Guiana, by having the 
feathers of the forehead and vertex clear slate-grey with small dusky discs, and 
mostly with narrow white lateral edges; while in the typical form, the front 
and forepart of the crown are distinctly black, with the white edges more 
pronounced, 
T. m. signatum has & much wider range than was hitherto supposed. In 
fact all the specimens I have seen except the Guianan ones proved to belong to 
this race. I have examined examples from the following localities : Nauta (4), 
Iguitos (1), Rio Napo (5), Teffé (1), Rio Madeira (3), Itaitiba (1),+ Rio Jurné (1) ; 
Rio Negro: Barcellos (4), Carvoeiro (3), Forte do Rio Branco (1). 
T. m. maculatum (Desm.) is evidently confined to the coast district of Cayenne, 
Sorinam, and British Guiana (Bartica Grove). It may, however, be that the birds 
from Para, Mexiana, Tocantins, and Santarem are also referable to the typical race, 
but as yet I have not seen skins from any of these localities.

Identical with a Bolivian specimen, except that the hind-crown is slightly
