The Calama specimens agree perfectly with others from Bastern Pern (Samiria, 
Ucayali) and the valley of the Rio Jurni. : 
C. aurantiicollis is nearly allied to C. +. richardsoni Gray, of Eastern Eenador, 
from which it differs, in the male sex, by having the nape pale yellowish instead 
of bluish grey, and the foreneck deep orange instead of clear yellow. The female 
also agrees with that of C. 7. richardsoni in all essential characters (7.e. forehead 
hoary grey, crown and back olive-green, sides of the head sooty blackish, narrow 
whitish superciliary streak euding in a golden yellow stripe above and behind the 
ear-coverts, malar region and throat dingy pale greyish, ete.), bat may be readily 
distinguished by its broader and deep orange, not golden yellow, jugular band. 
To prevent farther confusion, I may state that the description of C. aurantiicollis, 
?, in the Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xix. p. 116, has, by some mistake, been drawn up 
from a female specimen of C. dourcieri (Lafr.), while in the key, page 108, its 
characters are correctly indicated. The specimens d, f,h, k of Shelley’s list (p. 116), 
marked “ female” by the collectors, do not at all agree with his description, being, 
however, practically identical with my ¢? from Calama and Rio Jurnii. 
The range of C. aurantiicollis is as follows :— 
N.W. Brazil: Rio Javarri (Bates), Rio Jurud * (Garbe) ; Ponto Alegre, Bom 
Lugar, Canacury on the Rio Parts ¢ (Mus. Goeldi) ; Calama, Rio Madeira (Hoff- 
manns). Peru: Sarayacn, Santa Cruz, Ucayali (Bartlett), Samiria (Hauxwell), 
Monterico (Jelski).

“Tris brown, feet pale blue, bill black, culminal stripe and basal band of upper 
mandible yellowish green, base of lower jaw light blue.” 
The specimens agree with the type in the Munich Museum. The black 
portions of the bill are uniform, without any red patch on the upper mandible. 
The colour of the upper tail-coverts is somewhat variable, being either sulphur- 
yellow with darker, more orange tips, or nearly uniform bright orange-yellow. 
Some specimens show a slight yellowish tinge on the foreneck, while in others 
the latter is white like the throat,
