and foreneck are clear yellow, with, however, slight pale red tips to the feathers ; 
there is usually a little more crimson on the ear-coverts, and the yellow of the 
forehead is less pure as well as less extended than in P. a. flavicollis. Wing 
634—66 ; tail 28—32 mm. 
Obs. In a considerable series the characters as given above are quite constant. 
The abdomen is invariably clear yellow, without any red, and decidedly contrasted 
with the crimson breast ; the under tail-coverts are likewise yellow narrowly tipped 
or edged with dull black ; all of the rectrices show a broad whitish or yellowish band 
across both webs. The feathers of the throat and foreneck are more or less 
conspicuously, though slightly, tipped with pale red. As stated above (p. 503) the 
birds from Itaittiba and Maruins are perfectly similar to topotypical specimens from 
Eastern Bolivia.

Chapada, Mattogrosso, 1 d ad., Engenho do Gama, Rio Guaporé, 2 do ad., 
Maruins, all in the Munich Museum ; 1 ¢ ad., Faz. Cayoa, 3 do ad., Rio Jordao,

N.B.—I have not seen examples from the Tocantins, where both Wallace * and 
Snethlage ¢ met with the species,

d ad. Agrees with P. a. fasciicauda in the clear yellow abdomen without any 
black or red, but differs at a glance by having the central rectrices uniform black 
and the black tips to the under tail-coverts much wider. The yellow of the throat 
and foreneck is bright yellow without red tips, like P. a. flavicollis, while the front 
and sides of the head are more like P. a. fasciicauda. 
Five adult males from the Rio Paras (incl. the type) measure : wing 64—65; 
tail 26—29 mm. 
Five adult males from Pern (Ucayali, Chuchurras) measure: wing 63—64 ; 
tail 283—30 mm. 
Obs. In specimens from the Paris the two or four median rectrices are 
uniform black, the two or three outer pairs are banded with white (or yellowish) on 
both webs, while the intervening ones have a white patch near the base of the inner 
web. In Peruvian skins the: six median rectrices are without any white, other- 
wise they agree with the Brazilian ones.
