15. Sporophila lineoli (Linn.) 



Loxla Ihieola Linnaeus, Sylt. Nat. xii. 1. (1766) p. 'Mi (" Asia "— errore ! We accept Surinam as 

 the typical locality : ofr. Nov. Zool. i\. p. 26). 



Nos. 529, 538, 558, 578, 580, 5S3. <$<$ ad. Urncnrifcnba, Santarem, 4, 5, 0, 24, 



2;"). ii. 06. " Iris brown." 



All these specimens arc typical V lineola, with a broad white stripe along the 

 middle of the forehead and erown, and with the tinder parts pure white, without any 

 blackish cross-lines. 



Of this form, I have examined 47 J J ad. in the Museums of Tring, Vienna, 

 Turin and Berlepsch from the following localities : Camacusa, Rio Carimang, Auuai, 

 British Guiana ; Cayenne ; Bahia; Mattogrosso ; S.E. Bolivia (Borelli coll.) ; Salts; 

 Rio Xie, a tributary of the upper Kio Negro : Caicara, Orinoco ; and Samiria, 

 N.E. Peru. There are no differences between specimens from the various localities, 

 but the series appears to be quite distinct from S. bouvronides (Less.), with which 

 S. ocellata Scl. & Salv., > s '. trinitatis Sharpe, and S. amazonica Sharpe are synonymous.

 brown, feet greyish or greyish brown, bill greyish yellow, above darker." Nos. 532, 

 533, 534, 500," 576, 581," 582. 1 S ad., 1 '<$ juv. from Itaitnba, 18, 22. i. 00. 

 '• Iris brown." Nos. 450, 480. 



S. e. goeldii is apparently the representative of S. c. columbiana in the Amazonian 

 basin. The specimens collected by Natter er near Manaos (= Barra do Rio Negro) 

 belong to this form, and in the Paris Museum there are two adult males from the 

 Yana-yaco River, a tributary of the Ucayali, Eastern Peru, collected by J. Hanxwell. 

 I found them perfectly identical with some of Natterer's specimens. 



The 6 $ ad. from Santarem, Manaos and Eastern Peru exhibit all the characters 

 pointed out by Count Berlepsch, and the ? also differs slightly from those of 

 S. c. columbiana and S. <\ leopoldinae. The differences between the three forms are 

 best shown by the following short rtfsume. 



a. Sicalis columbiana columbiana Cab. 

 Sycalh columbiana Cabanis, .Vus. Eeinean i. (1S51) p. 147 (Porto Cabello, Venezuela). 



Hab. I enezuela : Porto < labello (teste ( tabanis) ; Aitagracia, west of Angostura 

 (Ciud. Bolivar), on the middle Orinoco; Snapure and La Priciou on the ('aura River, 

 a southerly tributary of the Orinoco.— The locality Trinidad, sometimes assigned to 

 this form, is erroneous. 



J ad. Upper pails uniformly light yellowish green, rump scarcely brighter than 

 the buck; forehead and vertex as far as above the posterior angle of the eye dull 

 reddish orange. Under surface bright yellow, but without any orange tint, shading 

 into greenish on the sides of the chest. Cheeks light yellow, ear-coverts dull 

 greenish. Bill stoni and strong. Wing (7 SS ad.): 00—63, tail 43—40; bill 

 1"— 11 mm. 



? ad. The g] [mens from the Orinoco district agree well with Cabanis 1
