These two examples agree in coloration with the type of P. xanthopijgus Spix 

 and several Bahia skins, the throat (except the yellowish chin), chest, sides, and 

 under tail-coverts being ochraceons-brown, in decided contrast to the primrose- 

 yellow of the middle of the breast and abdomen. 



Goyaz is quite a new locality for M. b. mastacalis. The synonymy, range, 

 and characters are given in extenso in my revision of Spix's types : Abhandl. Akad.

The adult males (with yellow crown-patch) differ from others from Bahia, 

 Trinidad, and Cayenne solely by their rather longer wings, but the variation is 

 scarcely appreciable. Specimens from Argentine are not constantly larger, and I 

 cannot distinguish M. f. auriceps Gould as claimed by Ridgway.*

This series agrees exactly with several specimens from Chajjada, Mattogrosso, 

 and others from northern S. Paulo (Rio Tiefe and Rio Paranaiianema). The 

 middle of the breast and abdomen is white (without any yellow), as are also the 

 under tail-coverts ; the foreneck, chest, and innermost sides of the body are dull
