about maize-yellow, while the others are of a pale straw-yellow underneath. The 

 adult dd have a large golden yellow coronal patch bordered laterally by a broad 

 tawny stripe. In the female from Hnmaytha the crown is mainly tawny ochraceous, 

 though a few feathers in the middle show some yellow at their base, while the 

 two birds from Paraizo have the crown entirely tawny ochraceous. The range 

 of the two races of P. coronatus is, accordingly, as follows :

 " Iris light yellow or yellowish white, feet grey, bill greyish black." 



These specimens differ from the two types collected by Natterer near 

 Marabitanas and San Carlos on the Rio Negro, J in their smaller size, especially 

 the tail being much shorter, in having the pale edges to the upper wing-coverts less 

 distinct, and the ear-coverts dull greenish instead of greyish. An adult male from 

 Borba (Natterer coll.) in the British Museum, however, is considerably larger,
