Not yet recorded from the Lower Amazons, though collected by Natterer near 

 Manaos, and at Borba, Rio Madeira.

Besides these, we possess tour adnlt specimens from the Lower Amazons : one 

 each from the Toeantins and from Mexiana Island, collected by A. 11. Wallace ; one 

 6 ad. from Boa Vista and another from Espiritu Santo, both obtained by Prof. Steere. 

 They agree perfectly with Cayenne examples, except in having a slighter, smaller 

 and slenderer bill ; this, however, is not likely to be a constant character. P. g. 

 cervicalis Scl. of Eastern Bolivia and Mattogrosso differs only in having no black 

 whatever ronnd the eye. I have examined a specimen from Mojos in Eastern 

 Bolivia (D'Orbigny coll., Mus. Paris), and several examples collected by Natterer 

 in Western Mattogrosso. Those obtained by the same traveller near Borba, Rio 

 Madeira, represent, however, typical gularis.

The form found near Santarem is typical M. bonariensis. I have examined an 

 adult cJ in the Vienna Museum, which agrees in size with specimens from Buenos 

 Aires and South Brazil (wing 109, tail 82, bill 19| mm.). In the vicinity of Para, 

 however, M. b. atronitens Cab. takes its place. This is a mncli smaller bird, 

 with a weaker, slenderer bill. The Vienna Museum possesses a pair from Cajutubn, 

 near Para (Natterer coll.) which I am unable to distinguish from Trinidad and 

 Tobago examples (cfr. Nov. Zool. xiii. p. 20).
