BANGS AND PENARD: SURINAM BIRDS. 79 



239. Empidochanes fuscatus fumosus Berlepsch. 



Type locality. — Cayenne. 



Four specimens, both sexes, adult and immature, Vicinity of Para- 

 maribo, February, and April. 



The bird described as E. surinamensis by F. P. and A. P. Penard 

 (De vogels van Guyana, 1910, 2, p. 258) is without doubt the same as

 judge from the material we have examined it is an excellent race.

Ridgway (Birds of North and Middle America, 1907, 4, p. 235)
