N.B. — Another distinct, and apparently nndescribed form inhabits the Merume 

 Mountains, in British Guiana. It agrees in size with A'. /'. imignis, but the rump, 

 throat and crissum are golden yellow, as in A. /'. J/nricollis. Count Berlepseh 

 possesses an adult and an immature male, and in the British Museum there 

 are two immature SS ; all collected by the late H. Whitely, juii., on the Merume 

 Mountains.

 Agrees with specimens from East Brazil in having the axillaries under 



wing-coverts and a distinct patch on the base of the primaries white, but is 



slightly smaller, with a much smaller, weaker bill.

No. 1259. 3 ad., Humaytha, 17. ix. no. " Iris brown, feet and bill grey." 

 Identical with Bahia specimens. It is very interesting to find this species 

 at Humaytha, where we should rather have expected M. aurifrons (Spix),* which 

 was collected by Natterer in the Rio Madeira district, t These facts suggest 

 that the two forms are specifically distinct.
