When studying Spix' types in the Munich Museum I had only a female and 

 a young male from Borba before me, which appeared to be intermediate between 

 T. e. episcopus and T. e. coelestis. The adult male now sent by Mr. Hoffmanns 

 enables me to state that the birds from the lower Rio Madeira are typical 

 T. c. coelestis. The specimen agrees in every respect with onr series from Iqnitos, 

 Nanta, Loretoyacn and other places on the Peruvian Amazons. The patch on the 

 shoulder is almost pure white, and the greater upper wing-coverts are tipped 

 with whitish.

The males differ slightly from two topotypical Peruvian specimens by their 

 rather lighter, clearer scarlet throat and foreneck, and by having the middle of 

 breast aud abdomen decidedly paler pink. It remains to be seen whether these 

 trilling differences are constant.
