longest. The two d 3 from Paraizo aud two others from Borba have a few 

 minute, pale yellowish dots on the anterior portion of the crown, only to be seen 

 when the feathers are raised.

The specimen agrees well with the types of N. rubicunda in the British 

 Museum. 



In general coloration, this species has a striking likeness to Mi/iobius 

 eryikrurus Cab., but is easily distinguishable by its golden yellow (c?) or cinnamon 

 ( ? ) vertical spot, aud by its blackish (not brownish white) feet. In structure, 

 the two species are, of course, widely different. 



N. cinnamomea is quite new to the Brazilian fauna.

The males from Humaytha differ from those obtained at Paraizo by the crest 

 being more golden yellow and the black frontal band much broader. The females 

 may easily be distinguished from those of the C. pareola races by their much darker 

 and greener under-snrfacc, the throat and foreneck being bright olive-green and the 

 rest of the belly but a little lighter green. In the females of the C. pareola-iovms, 

 the throat and foreneck are of a dull greyish green, and the remaining nnder-parts 

 pale yellowish, more or less washed with greenish on the flanks. 



C. rei/ina is still very rare in collections, and had been met with hitherto 

 by two naturalists only, as far as I know. Natterer secured specimens at Borba, 

 on the lower Uio Madeira, and on the " lake " Manaqueri, Rio SoIimOes ; while 

 Bates received several skins from the Rio Javari.
