E. e. euleri differs from K. lawrencei liy its rnfous brown or russet (instead of 

 greenisli olive) upper parts, and much paler lower snrface, nearly whitish in the 

 middle of the abdomen. Natterer's specimen from Borba belongs likewise to the 

 present species. Its range is given by Berlepseh k Hellmayr in Journ.f. Ornitli. 

 1905. p. 23. 



With regard to E. euleri argeiifiiins (Cab.), I may mention that additional 

 specimens from Argentine in the Tring and Mnnich Mnsenms do not bear ont all the 

 characters shown by the type (cf. loc. cil. p. 23). They are by no means smaller 

 than E. e. euleri, bnt the upper parts are decidedly duller, less rufesoent, and the 

 belly is whitish with very little, if any, yellowish tinge on the flanks. An adult 

 male from Chuchurras, prov. Hnannco, Peru (W. Hoffmanns coll.), in the Tring 

 Museum, agrees in every respect with Argentine skins, while another from Pebas, 

 N. Pern (Han.xwell coll.), in the British Museum, is undoubtedly referable to 

 E. e. euleri ! More material is retjuired to establish the validity of this form or 

 otherwise.

Similar, in coloration and size, to specimens from Mattogrosso (Chapada) and 

 Northern Sao Paulo. The lower parts are white with the chest tinged with pale 

 brownish grey, and the flanks very pale yellowish. Natterer obtained a young 

 male at Borba, Marcli 3, 1831, which does not dift'er cither from Mattogrosso skins 

 in corresponding pinmage. 



E.f. bimaculatus ranges from Eastern Bolivia (Ynngas) through Central Brazil 

 (Madeira district ; Mattogrosso : Cnyaba, Chapada *) east to Goyaz (city of Goiaz ; 

 Rio Thesouras, Araguaya t) and south to the valleys of the Parana, Paraniipanema, 

 and Rio Grande in Northern Sao Panlo.f 



In Central and Southern Sao Paulo, however, the typical race, E. f. fuscatus 

 (Wied), is met with. I have examined a series from Ypanema, and examples from 

 S. Sebastiao, Ubatuba, and Rio Feio. 



Snethlage's record of E. fuscatus § from Goyana, Tapajoz, is most probably 

 referable to the pale, western race E.f. bi maculatus.
