In coloration, these specimens agree perfectly with our series from Trinidad 

 and Venezuela, except that the throat is more whitish in No. 861. Both skins 

 have the foreneck and chest strongly washed with dull olive green, the middle of 

 the abdomen being bright sulphur yellow. The female is much smaller than 

 the male.

 brownish grey." 



After examining much additional material, I do not thiuk it possible to 

 separate the Para form, discussed iii Ibis, 1906, p. 13, aud Nov. Zool. xiii. (1906) 

 p. 362. 



As a rule, the Para birds have the forehead aud crown of a lighter, more 

 orange-red tint, but I have lately seen some specimens from Bahia with the 

 head quite as pale. The SS from Teffe" agree better with those from Para. 

 P. rubrocapilla seems to replace P. erythrocepkala on the south bank of the 

 Amazons. Near Tonautins, on the north side of the River 8olimoes, G. Garlepp 

 obtained the latter species.
