“Tris brown, feet dark grey, bill blackish.” 
These birds differ from two others from North Brazil by having the cheeks 
and thighs much more deeply coloured, bright reddish orange. A series from 
various localities is required to show whether this divergency is individual or 
geographical. Natterer procured specimens at Salto do Girao, higher up the Rio 
Madeira, as well as in several places on the upper Rio Negro.

Right bank: Borba (Natterer). 
This singular bird has a very limited range,* being hitherto only known from 
the Para district, where Wallace and Robert secured several examples, and from 
Borba, on the Lower Madeira, whence Natterer forwarded two specimens to the 
Vienna Museum. In coloration it exactly resembles P. barrabandi, but may be 
recognized by its naked head, bordered posteriorly by a broad, light yellow band. ]

from Teffé at Tring. Cf. Nov. Zool. xiv. p. 89.]
