]>. albovittatus Lafr. & D'Orb.* is nothing bni the young of D. atricapillus. 

 I compared the type in the Paris Museum, and found it perfectly identical with 

 another specimen from S. Esteban, Venezuela (Mns. Berlepsch). Both birds are 

 still in the fluffy juvenile plumage, and show a broad white superciliary stripe. 

 This is also present, though less pronounced, in various specimens from Bahia 

 and Bogota ; in the 3 juv. from Teffd there are several small whitish feathers 

 to be seen above the ear-coverts. It is true I have not yet seen adult specimens 

 from Bolivia, but they are not likely to be different, as a series from Paraguay aud 

 S.W. Brazil (Mattogrosso) is not distinguishable from a good number of skins 

 from Bahia, Cayenne, Venezuela, etc., in the Tring Museum.

The back is bright yellowish green and the cap pure (bluish) cinereous. The 

 adult birds have the following dimensions : Wing 64, 67 ; tail 44, 49 ; bill 13£, 

 14 mm. 



I defer the discussion of the geographical variatiou of this species to a later 

 occasion, bnt cfr. my remarks in Nov. Zool. xiii. p. 11.

I cannot detect any difference between the 3 from Teffe and another from 

 Bogota collections. As far as I know, this species has not yet been recorded 

 from Colombia. 



The ? resembles very much that of I), angelica, but is easily distinguishable 

 by the pale brownish (not greenish) upper parts, without any bluish tinge on the 

 pilenm, by the dull greyish brown throat and the light yellowish bnff abdomen.
