Iponsin, R. Approuagne : 1 <? ad., January 8, 1903. 



* Phaethorniv rupurmnii Boucard, of British Guiana, has not yet been detected in Cayenne, but as we 

 know that a nearly allied form — viz. Ph. rtijntruiuil amazimua Hellm. — occurs on the Lower Amazon, it is 

 not unlikely that either the former or tlie latter may be an inhabitant of Cavenne. 



t As pointed out by me long ago (Journ. f. Orn. IHSK. p. :^ nota), there is no doubt that the Trochitnx 

 superciliosus Linne, founded on Brisson's description, is tlie small species with short and curveti bill, 

 named Ph. fratereulns by Gould. It is true that Brissnn's description of tlie under tail-coverts suits 

 better tlie large species with the straight long bill (viz. Ph. mahiris Xordm.), but Brisson's measure- 

 ments and figure leave no doubt that the object of his description belonged to the small species,
