They do not differ in any way from Cayenne sjiecimens.

The characters of this form are extremely variable, and I am a little doubtful 

 whether it can be maintained as distinct. As a rule, the tail is less deeply forked 

 than in T. f. furcata of Cayenne, the green of the throat less extended, and the 

 blue band across the ujiper back slightly interrupted in the middle. 



85. *Avocettula recurvirostris (Sw.) 



Troi-lnlnsremrviroslvh Swainson, Zoulng. lllustr. ii. (1821-L'), pi. 105, descr. orig. (^ ad. ("Peru."—

A single <S imm. 22. xii. 0.5. " Iris black." No. 404. Wing 55 ; tail 26J ; 

 bill 17 mm. 



The three outermost tail-feathers are fiery coppery red on the under-snrface, 

 as in the S ad., but widely tipped with white. On each side of the breast there is 

 a tnft of silky snow-white feathers, apparently a peculiarity of the adult male, but 

 never mentioned before as far as I know. 



This is the first record for Brazil, the species having been only known to occnr 

 in Cayenne and British Gniana.

It agrees well with specimens from Cayenne and Surinam. I examined also 

 the adult <J obtained by Wallace, and found it to be identical with our series.
