The " Black Gros-Beak " of Edwards is the base for Loxia angolensis Linn. 

 In Nor. Zool. i-x. 1902. p. 25, Berlepsch and Hartert have substituted " Surinam " as 

 the typical locality for this species, which Edwards believed to have come from 

 Angola. Nevertheless it now appears to rae that Edwards' bird must have come 

 from Brazil, and consequently I have substituted " Ceara, Brazil " as tlie tyjiical 

 locality for it. In fact, there are other cases where Edwards says that his birds 

 have come from the " Portuguese Settlements " on the coast of Angola, while in 

 reality they were of Brazilian origin (as in the case of Guiraca ci/anra). Also 

 Edwards' figure looks more like the thick lulled Brazilian form of this species. 



Cayenne specimens as well as those from British Guiaua, Upper Amazons and 

 Colombia differ from the birds coming from Bahia and Rio, iu having a much 

 shorter and altogether smaller bill. It also seems to me that northern birds, 

 as a rule, have the abdomen of a somewhat darker chestnut, and have the 

 white alar speculum less extended. But these differences are not constant, I think.
