The range of H. c. peruvianus is, according to my present knowledge, as 
follows :— ; 
Brazil, south of the Amazon Valley : Aramathena, Tocantins *; Villa Braga, 
Bella Vista,} Itaittba, + Tapajéz ; Borba (Natterer), Calama, Maruins, Humaytha § 
(Hoffmanns), Rio Madeira; Engenho do Gama, Rio Guaporé (Natterer); Villa 
Maria, Rio Paraguay (Natterer); Rio Jurad (Garbe) ||; Bom Lugar, Puris{ ; Teffé, 
Rio Solimoéns (Hoffmanns), ** Ega (Bates), Rio Javarri (Bates). N .E. Bolivia: 
Yuracarés, near Cochabamba (D’Orbigny).ff Pera: Yurimaguas (Stolzmann), 
Upper Ucayali, Xeberos, Chyavetas, Chamicuros, Santa Cruz (Bartlett), Pebas 
(Hanxwell, Castelnan & Deville), Samiria (Hauxwell). Eastern Ecuador: Rio 
Napo (Petit), Sarayacu (Buckley). 
On the north bank of the Amazons, near Obidos and Manaos, it is replaced 
by the typical race, H. c. cantator (Bodd.). tt

The adult bird agrees with our series from Humaytha (left bank of the Rio 
Madeira) and the Caura Valley, Venezuela. 
The nestling has never been described before. The pileum is uniform olive- 
brown as in the adult, but the back shows large buff spots of irregular shape and 
narrowly edged with blackish. The black spotting of the chest is altogether absent, 
all the lower surface except the white throat being clear buff, the feathers of the 
foreneck with indistinct edges of dusky. That the bird belongs here and not to 
H. naevia theresae is proved by its short tail, greyish (not wax-yellow) legs, and 
blackish upper tail-coverts. 
H. punctulata is known from both banks of the Madeira, but not yet recorded 
from any Brazilian locality farther east.
