 They are absolutely identical with a large series from the Antilles (tjanta Lucia, 

 Dominica, etc.). Although originally described from Trinidad, tiiis bird is certainly 

 only a winter visitor on the island.

 Pipra anrnvnpiUa Lcht. 



A good series from ('aparo, March and .Vi)ril ; Valencia, March ; Pointe Gourde 

 and t'haguaramas, January. 



Like others from Cumana, and (inanoco in the Orinoco delta, the S S have the 

 cap brighter, more orange than tliose from Cayenne and Surinam. Specimens from 

 the Orinoco and t'aura are, however, so variously intermediate tliat I do not venture 

 to separate them.

Pipia iiiaittiriif: Linuacus, %.s(. \at. .xii. 1. p. 240 (ITGU.— e.x Kdwards ; "supposed to be Sumntin," 

 and ex Brisson : part). 



A very large series of both se.\es from (_'ai)aro, March and April ; one pair 

 from Laventille, December; 2 (i S from Valencia, March; and :2 JcJ, 1 ? from 

 C'haguaramas, January. 



The males agree witli several specimens from Surinam in having only the sides 

 of tlie belly and the under tail-coverts grey. 2^6 from Archidona (East Ecuador), 

 one from the (Jaura River, and several from tlie Hio Negro (Natterer), belong also 

 to this form. 



C. III. jjxrm (Bangs) from the Lower Amazons, is easily recognisable by its 

 white under tail-coverts and narrow black area on the back.

Apparently not ditt'erent from (Cayenne and Cumana specimens, Imt tiie males 

 are a shade more cinereous, both beneath and above.

These specimens agree with a scries from Cnmnna, Tobago, the Orinoco valley, 

 and Bogota-collections. I compared also the type of /'. ciiieificen/ria from Santa Marta
