No. 1030. ¢ ad., Maruins, 17. vii. 1907.—Wing 116; tail 202 ; bill 37 mm. 
“Tris dark brown, feet and bill black.” 
Middle pair of rectrices not spatulated. Chin and upper throat pale blue, 
slightly mixed with greenish.

319. Momotus momota nattereri Scl. 
[Ramphastos Momota Linnaeus, Syst, Nat. xii. 1. p. 152 (1766.—based on Edwards & Brisson (excl. 
syn. Marcgrave): Cayenne (ex Brisson) fixed as type locality).] 
Momotus Nattereri Sclater, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. xxv. 1857. p. 251 (1858.—Yungas in Bolivia ; 
Goyaz, Brazil) ; Pelzeln, /.c. p. 19 (Borba). 
No. 450. 2? ad., Calama, 25. viii. 1907.—Wing 132; tail 237; bill 39 mm. 
“Tris brown, feet greyish brown, bill black.” 
This bird is perfectly identical with typical specimens from Bolivia (Sara) and 
Mattogrosso (Chapada). There is no trace of a rufous nape-patch, but the lower 
parts are distinctly suffused with ochreous, Cf. also Nov. Zool. xiv. p. 28. 
M. m. nattereri represents M. m. momota in the districts south of the Amazon 
and west of the Tapajéz, as well as in Goyaz, Mattogrosso, and Eastern Bolivia. 
The north-western limits of its range, however, are not exactly known.

Urogalba amazonum Sclater, Proc. Zool. Soc, Lond. xxiii. 1855. p, 14 (1855,—“in Brasil. Boreali, 
Para, et fl. Amazonum ”), 
U. dea amazonum Hellmayr, Nov. Zool, xiv. p. 401 (Humaytha), 
Galbula paradisea (nec Linn.) Pelzeln, /.c. p. 24 (part, : Salto do Girdio, Rio Madeira). 
No. 676. g ad., 8. Isabel, Rio Preto, 11. x. 1907.—Wing 96; tail — ; bill 
61 mm. 
No. 678. ¢, 8. Isabel, 11. x. 1907.—Wing (moulting) ; tail 130; bill 514 mm. 
“ Tris brown, feet and bill black.” 
The skins agree with Pari examples in the Munich Museum, the feathers 
about the forehead and in the superciliary region being broadly edged with whity 
brown. The male has the wing fully as long as Sclater’s type. 
I consider it useful to recapitulate what we know about the distribution of 
U. dea dea and its southern representative. U. dea dea inhabits French, Dutch, 
and British Guiana, the banks of the Rio Negro, from Marabitanas and San Carlos 
down to Manos, and extends to Iquitos, north bank of the Peruvian Amazons. 
U. dea amazonum is found along the south bank of the Amazons and on its 
southern affluents, from Parad to Teffé (Rio Solimoéns). The main valley of the 
Amazons thus divides the ranges of the two nearly allied forms. Cf, Nov, Zool. 
xiv. 1907. pp. 27-8.
