These skins agree with one S from L'umaiul, except in being rather more brightly 

 coloured above and in having the throat slightly mixed with greyish (instead of 

 pure buft'). Specimens from Cayenne are partly like those from Trinidad, and partly 

 like the one from Cumaua, tlius proving that the said differences are of no 

 significance.

A large series from C'ai)aro, March and April ; Laveutille, December and 

 March ; Chagnaramas, January ; Puinte Ciourde, January ; Valencia, March : 

 Seelet, April. These skins are practically identical with an extensive series from 

 the mainland of Venezuela (12 Cumauii, in Orinoco, 4 from N.W. Venezuela: 

 Bucarito, San Esteban and S. Carlos). ^Vitll two dozen Bogota skins before me, 

 I can no longer maintain C. /. ca/ific^/s as distinct. Many of the Colombian 

 specimens have the yellow colour on the underparts unite as pale as a number from 

 Trinidad, though some are certainly richer coloured and of a more golden yellow 

 beneath, as claimed by Mr. Bangs. All of the many specimens examined have the 

 lilumbeous sjiot at the base of the lower mandible very strongly pronounced.

One <J and 3 ¥ ? from Caparo, March and April ; 1 ? Valencia, March. These 

 four skins, as well as a good series from Tobago, differ from a large number of 

 true l'. c/iici t in their larger size, especially longer wings and considerably longer, 

 heavier bill. The ujiper mandible is always blackish, while in ty[iical T. ckiei it is 

 much jialer, more brownish horn-colour. Specimens trom (hiinaiul (a large series in 

 Trlug) approach the Trinidad form in size, but the colour of the bill is exactly like 

 that of frne e/u'ri. Very likely the birds inhabiting Trinidad and Tobago constitute 

 a different race — which, however, cannot be called V. c. agiUf, as has been done by 

 Chiipman and other American writers. Lanim affilis Licht. is based on Bahia 

 skins which agree in every way with topotypical examjiles from Paraguay. If 

 separable, the northern form must have a new name. 



• As alreatlj pointed out by Berlepscb (Jbix, 1881, p. 212), Sijlcia jjliimbrii I.alb. cannot apply to tl,c 

 Daciu-s jilnmbea auct., since in this species the upper parts are certainly not "deep lead-colour, nearly 

 blacli," nor are the lower parts " pale ash-colour."
