One hniidrfd siipcimons of liotli sexes from fiiparo, Mareli : 1 r? ad., Poiiite 

 Gourde, January : 'i S ad., Valencia, March ; and one pair from Chagnaramas, 

 ■Tannary. This series agrees perfectly with mainland specimens. 



The name E. v. riolacra (Linn.) i.s to be retained for the Brazilian form, since 

 Gabanis, when first distingnishiug the two races, separated the northern snbspecics. 

 In the tenth edition, I^innaens gave no locality, and Cabanis was, thus, justified in 

 restricting the original name. In the Cat. Birds, xi., the names are jnst reversed.

Twenty-one adults and young from Cajiaro, March and April ; '-' S ad. from

Fifty specimens of both sexes i Caparo, March and k\m\ : Laventilli>, March : 

 Valencia, March. 



All have the belly bright yellow, dift'eriug thereby very markedly from the pale- 

 bellied ('. m. media, Berl. & Hart.f which inhabits the Orinoco region. A series 

 from Guanoco, Orinoco-delta, belongs also to the latter race, but one specimen 

 approaches C. m. eieilloti in the colour of the under parts. 



No Calospiza of this section has as yet been found on the north coast of 

 Venezuela, and ('. m. eieilloti appears to be confine<l to the island of Trinidad.

* Altliougli Swainson's description and synonymy e\idently refer to C. gijrola (l.imi.), tlie plate
