"Iris brown, feet dark grey, bill blackish." 



These birds dilfer from two others from Nortli Brazil by having the cheeks 

 and thighs much more deeply coloured, bright reddish orange. A series from 

 various localities is required to show whether this divergency is individual or 

 geographical. Natferer procured specimens at Salto do Girao, higher up the Rio 

 Madeira, ;is well as in several places on the upper Uio Negro.

Right bank : Borba (Natterer). 



This singular bird has a very limited range,* being hitherto only known from 

 the Para district, where Wallace and Robert secured several e.xamples, and from 

 BorVia, on the Lower Madeira, whence Natterer forwarded two specimens to the 

 Vienna Museum. In coloration it e.\actly resembles I', havvahiiiidi, but may be 

 recognized by its naked head, borden'd posteriorly by a broad, light yellow band.]
