This splendid bird is an inhabitant of the campos districts of Brazil. Natterer 

 obtained it in the northern part of the state of San Panlo at various localities (Borda 

 do Matto, Irisauga, Paciencia, Rio das Pedras, on the Rio Parana); and Lnnd * sent 

 specimens from Franca, in the north-eastern corner of the same province. The 

 former naturalist also met with it at Goyaz, and near Sao Vicente, in western 

 Mattogrosso. H. H. Smith collected a large series at Chapada, Mattogrosso.f 

 Burmeister got several examples from the environs of Lagoa Santa, Minas Geraes,{ 

 and the British Blusenm possesses two adult males secured by Dr. Wucherer in the 

 interior of Bahia. 



Whether the single female collected by Buckley near Simacn, § in North 

 Bolivia, belongs to A. galeata or to a different form, cannot be decided until adult 

 males come to hand.

These specimens are practically identical with a large series from Bahia. 



In the paper quoted above I have given the synonymy, characters and 

 geographical distribution of N. pallescens and its allies. I quite agree with 

 Mr. Ridgway || that the three species of " Scotothorus " with yellow crest should be 

 placed iu Neopelma.
