These specimens a;„'ree iu every respect with our series from Salinas and 

 Reyes, Rio Beni, Northern Bolivia. The under tail-coverts are pure white ; the 

 golden green colour of the throat terminates in a straight line, being immediately 

 followed by the royal purple of the belly, and the interscapular region, when 

 viewed from in front, appears almost blackish. 



This record extends the range of T. balzani considerably to the north-east : 

 it is probably found all aloug the Rio Madeira. 



The species is new to the Brazilian fauna (cf. supra, p. 7S).

All the specimens belong to the typical form, haviug the under tail coverts 

 shining green, or white spotted with green. No. 1250 is cmite adult, and has 

 the tail and the lower surface uniform green, while in the others the four outer 

 rectrices are edged with white at the tip, and there is always more or less 

 of whitish in the middle of the abdomen. 



This record extends the range of P. t. theresiae far to the south. The most 

 southerly localities known hitherto were Barra do Rio Negro (Natterer) and Para 

 (Hoffmanns).
