Cf. supra, p. 84. 



No. 1060. e? ad., Humaytha, 7. viii. 06. " Iris dark brown, feet and bill 

 yellow, apical halt' of upper mandible black." — Wing 78 ; tail S3 ; bill 41 i mm. 



No. 1061. ? ad., Humaytha, 7. viii. 06. " Iris dark brown, feet and bill 

 yellow, apical half of upper mandible black." — Wing 70 ; tail 73 ; bill 37 mm. 



Both specimens differ from our Para series by having the checks and malar 

 region pure golden green instead of blue. In this respect they agree with 

 G. a. albirostris and G. a. ckalcocepkala ; the throat in the male, however, 

 is deep ferruginous, like the belly, not white, as in the males of the two last- 

 named forms. 



156. *Galbula tombacea cyanescens Dev. 



[Galbula tombacea Spix, Av. Bras. i. p. 55, tab. lviii. (1824 — " in sylvis fl. Amazonum ").]

 bill black."— Wing 82i ; tail 98 ; bill 44, 48 mm. 



These skins agree with others from Central Peru (Chanchamayo, Huannco) 

 and the Rio Jurua in having the forehead and crown shining green with bluish 

 reflections, but the chin and upper portion of the throat .are mostly greyish white, 

 while in the Peruvian and JuruA birds there is only a small smoky-grey spot 

 on the chin. 



I hope to discuss the geographical variation of G. tombacea on another occasion, 

 meanwhile cf. the remarks in my revision of Spix 1 types, pp. 001, 602. 



6r. t. cyanescens is new to the Brazilian fauna.
