 37. Hadrostomus minor (Less.) 



Querula minor Lesson, TraM d'Orn. p. 303 (1831. — Cayenne — $ juv.). 



Nos. 828, 839. $ ? ad., 15. vii., 10. vi. 00. "Iris brown, bill and feet 

 black." 



Differ from Ecuadorian and Bogota skins only by their rather longer wings. 

 The $ is a little purer grey on the abdomen, the ? decidedly paler ochraceous 

 on the lower parts, but these are not likely to be constant characters. 



38. Lipangus simplex (Lcht.) 



Muecicapa simplex Lichtensteia, Vera. Dubl., p. 53 (1823. — Bahia). 



No. 840. ? ad., 17. vi. 00. "Iris yellowish brown, feet and bill black." 

 Agreeing with skins from British Guiana, the Orinoco region and Bogota 



collections. 



Typical birds from Bahia are somewhat different. Cfr. Nov. Zool. xii. (1905) 



p. 295. 



39. Cotinga maynana (Linn.) 



Ampelis maynana Linnaeus, Syst. Xal. xii. 1, p. 298 (1766.— ex Brisson : "in Maynauensi 

 regione "). 



No. 734. c? ad., 2. vi. 00. " Iris yellow, feet black, bill blackish grey." 

 This specimen agrees perfectly with two others from Samiria, N.E. Pern, 

 collected by J. Hauxwell. 



40. Attila spadiceus spadiceus (6m.) 



JSuscicapa spadicea Gmelin, Syst. Nat. 1. ii. p. 937 (1788.— ex " Yellow-rumped Flycatcher," 

 Latham, Gen. Syn. Birds 2. i. p. 354. — Cayenne). 



No. 757. ? ? km., 5. vi. 00. " Iris brown, feet bluish grey, bill black." — 

 Wing 80 ; tail 00 ; bill 20 mm. 



This specimen agrees perfectly with the type of the species, kindly lent by 

 the authorities of the Vienna Museum, and with two other skins from Cayenne 

 (one in Vienna, the other in the British Museum). The throat and foreneck are 

 nearly uniform dull russet, with a slight tinge of ferruginous, the sides and top 

 of the head decidedly darker, deep ferruginous brown ; the middle of the abdomen 

 is dirty buff, the tail deep tawny (a little deeper than Ridgw., Komencl. v. fig 1). 

 Axillaries and under wing-coverts are dull ochraceous, the upper wing-coverts 

 have broad, tawny ochraceous (Ridgw. v. 4) apical margins ; the back is deep 

 russet brown, rather browner than the head, the rump ochre yellow, tinged with 

 ochraceous anteriorly aud on the tips of the upper tail-coverts. 



The ? from Barra do Rio Negro, collected by Natterer, is rather darker 

 on the head aud neck, and has the tail of a dull mars brown (Ridgw. iii. 13) 

 with scarcely any rnfescent tinge. I have, however, very little doubt that it 

 belongs to the same species as the examples from Cayenne aud Teffe. 



On the other hand, the birds from Bahia (three in the British Museum) 

 seem to constitute a different form. They are larger, and the throat and chest 

 show broad dark ferruginous flammulations on a yellowish buff ground. More 

 material of this difficult species will probably enable us to distinguish several 

 geographical races.
