F. 7, amazonicus differs from the preceding species by having the forehead 
cinnamon-rufous like the crown. Moreover, the female has the throat black, 
with but a few narrow, concealed white shaft-lines. In F colma 2 the lores 
and throat are entirely white.]

‘Tris dark brown, feet and bill greyish brown.” 
Both are immature birds with distinct buff apical spots oa the median and 
greater wing-coverts, and with dusky subapical cross-bands on the upper tail-coverts 
and rectrices. They differ from two other specimens [ex Cayenne and British 
Guiana (Camacusa)] in the following points: the foreneck is paler, olive-brown 
(instead of dark chocolate) ; the back lighter and more greenish, with the buff shaft- 
lines more clearly defined; the upper tail-coverts and rectrices are much brighter, 
clear cinnamon-rnfous (instead of dull rufous brown); the axillaries and under 
wing-coverts paler orange, etc. In other respects they agree closel y with the typical 
Guianan birds. Until adult specimens come to hand it is impossible to say whether 
the Madeira form is separable from varia or not. G. v. cinereiceps Hellm.,* = 
the upper Rio Negro, however, is perfectly distinct by its generally mach brig ri 
ochraceous under parts, clear rufous brown throat and foreneck, etc. e 
type in the Vienna Museum is still unique. 
G. v, varia is new to the Brazilian fauna.
