the above specimen agrees in every respect with liis account. Berlepscli 

 and Hartert have alreaily rccogiiiseil the distinctness of this form, and its characters 

 are fnlly discussed I.e. The type in the I'aris Museum is perfectly identical 

 with a female from Kio Catauapa, Orinoco (Tring Museum). The back is of 

 a clear jnile grey (without the luownish suft'nsion always to be seen in females 

 of 7'. /. inquisitor), and wings and tail are iiuite as short. Tiie males of the two 

 forms differ only in size, those of the soutluTU race being invariably larger. The 

 two subsjiccies have to stand as follows :

I am not able to say whether Lesson's bird is really the same as ^1. iirop;/gialis 

 (fall.),* having not yet examined the type of the latter; but it is nndoubtedly 

 identical with the sjiecimens obtained by the late IL Whitely in British (Juiana,
