N.B. — There can be no question that dea must be accepted as the specific 

 appellation for this species.* Although Linnaeus quotes with a query Seba's 

 " Avis paradisiaca ternatana," his diagnosis and the locality, both apparently taken 

 from Edwards, refer exclusively to the Urogalba. Count Salvador! f has lately 

 written upon the subject, but as he belongs to the small baud of ornithologists who 

 begin their nomenclature with the twelfth edition of Liunaeus, his conclusions need 

 not be taken into consideration. 



71. Momotus momota nattereri Sol. 



[Ramphastoi Momota Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. xii. 1 (17G6) p. 152 (ex Edwards and Brisson, excl. syn. 



Marcgrave — Cayenne accepted as typical locality — ex Brisson).] 

 Momotus nattereri Sclater P.Z.S. 1857. p. 251. [" Yungas in Bolivia (d'Orb.) ; Goyaz, Brazil

The specimen differs from a good series of MI. m. momota by lacking the rufous 

 nape-patch, agreeing in this respect with M. m. ignobilis Berl. This form, however, 

 has the under parts almost uniform oil-green, while in the Santarem bird there is a 

 strong ochraceous tinge all over the abdomen. A typical specimen of M. in. nattereri 

 from Southern Mattogrosso is practically identical with the ? sent by Mr. Hoffmanns.
