Scapaneus melanoleucos cearee CORY: Similar to 5. m. melanoleucos, but

 wing, 161; tail, 115, bill, 38 mm. 



b Specimens before me from Macaco Secco, Bahia, are apparently intermediate 

 in size between S. m. melanoleucos and 5. m. ceara and might be referred to either 

 form although they approach nearer cearee. A male from Bahia measures wing, 

 174; tail, 126; bill, 39 mm.
