This bird agrees with South Brazilian skins in having the basal portion of the 
rectrices dull blackish, in decided contrast to the pale cinereous apical band, and 
the under tail-coverts light slate-grey. Mr. Chubb (/.c.) having ascertained that 
Paraguayan examples are the same as those from Brazil, there is no longer any 
doubt about the proper application of the name sylvestris. The dark-tailed form 
appears to range, in the north, as far as Para and Mexiana Island, though I have not 
examined specimens from these places.
