F. r. amazonicus differs from the preceding species by having the forehead 

 cinnamon-rufous like tlie crown. Moreover, the female has the throat black, 

 with but a few narrow, concealed white shaft-lines. In F. colma ? the lores 

 and throat are entirelj' white.]

Both are immature birds with distinct buff apical spots on the median and 

 greater wing-coverts, and with dusky subapical cross-bauds on the upper tail-coverts 

 and rectrices. They differ from two other specimens [ex Cayenne and British 

 Guiana (Camacusa)] in the following points : the foreneck is paler, olive-browu 

 (instead of dark chocolate) ; the back lighter and more greenish, with the buff shaft- 

 lines more clearly defined; the npper tail-coverts and rectrices are much brighter, 

 clear cinnamon-rufons (instead of dull rufous brown) ; the axillaries and under 

 wing-coverts paler orange, etc. In other respects they agree closely with the typical 

 Guianan birds. Until adult specimens come to hand it is impossible to say whether 

 the Madeira form is separable from varia or not. G. v. cinereiceps Hellm.,* from 

 the upper Rio Negro, however, is perfectly distinct by its generally much brighter, 

 oehraceous under parts, clear rufous brown throat and foreneck, etc. The 

 type in the Vienna Museum is still unique. 

 G. e. varia is new to the Brazilian fauna.
