Identical with specimeus from Cayenne iiud Bogota. An adult male from 

 Cnyaba is not different either.

No. 1008. Av. imm., Goyaz, December 1905. 



Agreeing with a series from Bahia, Rio, Minas Geraes and S. Paulo. The 

 interscapnlar region is always glossy bluish black like the head, while it is white 

 like the rump in C. I. leveriana (Gm.), of Cayenne and Venezuela.

No. 2191. "d'"ad., Rio Araguaya, June 1900.- Wing 73 ; tail 68 ; bill 14| mm. 



The male is somewhat larger than Bahia skins, but not otherwise different. 

 The female is typical, being ochraceons-brown on the upper parts, and deep 

 ochraceous on the lower ones. 



The geographic forms of C. cyanea are in great confusion. I have not 

 snfficient material at hand to discuss them now, but I hope to do so on an early 

 occasion.

* Edwards says that his specimen was brought alive from Lisbon, and quotes the words of 

 Mr. Martyn that " this bird is only to be got on the coast of Angola, in Africa . . ." At that time there 

 was a regular traffic between the west coast of Africi and Brazil (then a Portuguese colony), and it is 

 probable that C.ci/ama, like several other species (f.i. Oryznioru.i o«^(>?f«sts), was imported from some of 

 the principal ports in Eastern Brazil — Bahia or Rio dc Janeiro.
