these birds are even younger than our female from Hnruaytha. Nevertheless I 

 have very little doubt that the i'onr skins belong to P. p. luciardi and not to the 

 newly-described P. p. amazonum, although none of them have any red on 

 the forehead. This is proved by the colour of the ear-coverts, which are pale bnffy 

 brownish (not clear golden buff, as in P. p. amazonum) and by the very small 

 amount of bluish on the forehead. Besides, in No. 1264 there are some bright red 

 feathers to be seen above the eye and lores !

Agreeing with specimens from Teffe' and Northern Peru. None of them have 

 a yellow streak behind the eye.

I quite agree with Mr. Ridgway * that the description of Sparvius semitorquatus 

 does not apply to the present species, but the name S. melanoleucus Vieill. t cannot 

 stand either (cf. my revision of Spix' types, 1906. p. 570). The next available 

 specific name is the one given above.
