This series agrees perfectly with a large number of skins from S. Panlo, 

 Mattogrosso, Minas Geraes, Para, and Cayenne. The belly is pure green with 

 golden reflections here and there, the back golden green, and the violet-blue of the 

 head sharply defined against the colour of the mantle. 



E. m. hirundo Gould,* from Sout,li-ea.stern Peru (Hniro, Maranura), is very 

 closely allied to E. m. macroura {prasina Sim.), and differs solely by the paler, 

 more cobalt-blue colour of the head, which blends with the golden green of 

 the back. 



Specimens from Northern Bolivia (Kio Beni) are variously intermediate 

 between the two forms, some being much like hirundo, while others are scarcely 

 distinguishable from macroura of Brazil.

Besides thcso specimens, I have e.xaniiued the series obtained by Natterer 

 on the Rio Araguay, near Sangrador, and in Mattogrosso (nine skins); a couple 

 collected by Mr. Garbe at Barretos on the Rio Grande, Northern S. Paulo, belonging 

 to: the Musen Paulista ; and an adult bird from Mojos, Eastern Bolivia, coll. 

 D'Orbigny, preserved in the Paris Museum. This series agrees with a large 

 number of Bahia skins, trueyl.a. nigricauda (Ell.) — in having the under tail-coverts
