In the paper quoted above I described the curious wing structure of the S from 

 Natterer's specimen. 



Since that time I had the opportunity of examining the type of Anaeretes sclateri 

 Oust, in the Paris Museum, and found it to be an adnlt S of H. hollaruH, with the 

 fourth and fifth primaries exactly of the same shape. Latel)', the Tring Museum has 

 received twenty-two skins of this species, among them fourteen adult ? ¥ , all of 

 which show the same peculiarity. Onstalet's type and tlie series from Argentina 

 agree perfectly with the i from Pansecco in having the whole bill black and no buff 

 superciliary stripe. The lores, cheeks and sides of the head are dull black, the 

 feathers of the superciliary region with faint whitish edges ; the feathers of the 

 jiilenm are mnch elongated and narrowed towards the tip, forming a long pointed 

 crest, longitudinally striped with black and oehreous yellow. The back is green, 

 with slight dusky shaft-strijies, more apparent in the freshly moulted than in the 

 W(iru jilumage ; the median and greater upper wing-coverts have distinct bully 

 whitish apical margins; the whole undersnrface is bright yellow. 



The females diifer from the males by the presence of a broad buff superciliary 

 stripe anil by having the lower mandible whitish. Natterer's specimen from Matto- 

 grosso and the series from Ocampo are practically identical with the type of 

 U. hollandi. None of the females show the peculiar shaj)e of the fourth and fifth 

 jirimaries, which are (|uite as long as the others, though somewhat narrower. 



The range of this species, which ought to be called //. sclateri (Oust.), is as 

 follows :
