This series diifers from Venezuela and Guiana examples by having the black 

 of the foreneck extended over the chest, though several specimens are hardly dis- 

 tinguishable on this score. Bahia skins have a decidedly smaller, slenderer bill, 

 otherwise they agree with those from Goyaz.

Two species have been distinguished by Sundevall and Hargitt on account 

 of some slight differences in the pattern of the lower parts : (a) P. sagittatus with 

 sagittate markings on throat, chest, and upper breast, and with drop-like stripes on 

 the sides of the belly ; (b) P. guttifer with the feathers of the foreneck, chest, and 

 breast margined with black, and having a black central stripe widening at the base 



* According to the registers of the Paris Museum the type was obtained iu the soutliern part 

 of Goyaz, near the sources of the Kio Tocantins.
