Specimens from Guanoco and Surinam are exactly like those from British 

 Guiana, except the head and crest being slightly paler, more ochraceons-cinuamon. 

 Whether this form is really entitled to the name C. irirjicnbaclii, can be ascertained 

 only by an examination of MaUierbe's types. I susjiect that the birds obtained by 

 Natterer at I'.arra do liio Negro and on the Kio Branco will prove to belong to the 

 present subspecies, but I have not yet had an ojiportunity to compare them.

This form is evidently confined to the island of Trinidad. The specimens 

 collected by Goeriug at Guarauuo in the jjrovince of N. Andalucia, Venezuela, and 

 those obtained by Mr. Andre's collectors in the Orinoco delta, belong to the large 

 race found in British Guiana and Surinam. 



I take great pleasure in naming this bird after Dr. Leotaud in recognition of 

 his vahialile contributions towards our knowledge of the avifauna of Trinidad.
