 is common, Mr. Audre did not send it in his numerons collections.

This subspecies dififers from typical B. ai(ricapUli(s (Sw.) ex Rio, S. Paulo 

 and Paraguay by its slightly more greyish, less greenish back, and in having 

 the outer webs of the tail-feathers and quills olive-grey instead of olive-green. 

 Specimens from Cumana (a large series in the Tring Museum) are practically 

 identical with those from the island. . 



12. Coereba luteola (Cab.) 



Ccrthiola lulcolit Cabanis, J/«s. IleiiKun, I. (1850) p. Ulj ("Puerto Cabello?") 



Sixteen specimens of both sexes (adult and young) from t'aparo, iii. iv. ; 

 ] c? ad. Valencia, iii. ; one pair from Seelet, iv. They agree perfectly with a 

 large series from Cumana, S. Esteban and the Orinoco River. One S ad. from 

 Englishman Bay, Tobags, is a shade blacker on the back, but otherwise not 

 different. All have the whole upperside dull blackisli, deeper on the head 

 (only the immature birds with a slight olivaceous tinge) and a large white 

 speculum at the base of the primaries. 



C. (juianensis Cab., ijuite erroneously synonymised with ('. chloropi/ifi, by 

 Mr. Sclater, differs from ( '. luteola by its much paler, smoky grey upper surface, 

 and by the want of the white speculum, which is but barely indicated under 

 the primary coverts by some traces of whitisli ; the rump-band is as brighl 

 yellow as in C. luteola. 



C. cMofopiiya Cab., which ranges from Rio to Para, is again much i)aler, 

 light olivaceous grey above, the crown decidedly duller and less intense than in 

 C. guianensis, and the rump-band much paler, dull olive-yellowish (instead ot 

 bright chrome-yellow); the wing-speculum is, likewise, nearly wanting. In fact, 

 the three forms are very distinct one from another. 



* Swaiiison's description evidently refers to the Brazilian :>pecies, for he sa,\^> "above, oUve-greeu."
