The series is aliscilntidy identical witli another from Cnmani'iand Puerto C'aliello, 

 Venezuela. I fully aijree with Mr. Ohapman that the term longipes Sw. should 

 be ae.cepted for the bird named ^f. tiwaimoiii by P>erlo[tseh, but I cannot follow him 

 in separating the Triuidad form nnder a new name. One S ad. from Pauama (coll. 

 Harris) differs from the latter in having the sides of the chest ashy grey (instead of 

 l)alc fulvous brown like the flanks), as poflited out by Chapman. In Swaiuson's 

 descrijjfion, however, no mention is made of this colour ; hence his name becomes 

 strictly applicable to the Triuidad race. Moreover, ^[. siminsoiii Pierlepsch being 

 based upon specimens fnun Puerto Cabello !ind Trinidad, antedates in any case 

 (Jhai)man's later designation, while the birds from ('artagena and Panama, if really 

 se])arable, must have a new name. 



In the Orinoco valley and in British Guiana a very distinct subspecies takes its 

 |ilac'e. This has been named ^f. I. (/riscijtcctKS Berl. & Hart., and is easily known 

 by a broad grey band across the chest just below the black throat.

The Triuidad specimens agree perfectly widl with others from Curaana, Tocuyo, 

 V'^enezuela, and from the Cauca valley in W. Colombia. F. h. saturatus is easily 

 recognisable from /'. //. ciixxulis ( 'ab. (ex Cayenne and Brit. Guiana) by its 

 paler, more olive-brown colour above, smaller (u- (jlisolefe white loral siuit, darker 

 grey under jiarts, and paler lower tail-coverts.

Two pairs from Caparo, April, and three si)ecimens from Laveutille, November. 

 They agree with a scries from Puerld Cabello, the Caura River, and Tobago. 

 Topotypical East Brazilian skins are not available for comparison. Accordiui,' to 

 Phelps {Ault 1897, p. 30G) the species occurs also in the state of ('umana,.
