C. aurantlicollis is iioarly allied to C r. rirhitnlmwi (ii-ay, of Eastern ]';i;nailoi-, 

 from wliicli it (lifters, in the male sex, by havin-; the nape pale yellowisli instea<l 

 of lihiish grey, and tiio forencc-k tleej) orange instead of clear yellow. The female 

 also agrees with tliat of C. r. rir/Hinhoiii in all essential characters (i.r. forehead 

 hoary- grey, crown and back olive-green, sides of the head sooty blackish, narrow 

 whitish superciliary streak ending in a golden yellow stripe above and behind the 

 ear-coverts, malar region and throat dingy pale greyish, etc.), bnt may be readily 

 distinguished by its broader and deep orange, not golden yellow, jugnlar ban(i. 

 To prevent further confusion, 1 may state that the description of ('. aiirantiicoUis, 

 ?, in tbe Cat. Birds Brit. i[u». xix. p. 110, has, by some mistake, been drawn up 

 from a female siiecimen of C. bourcieri (Lafr.), while in the key, page lo8, its 

 characters are correctly indicated. The specimens d, /', //, /• of Shelley's Hst (p. 1 1 (i), 

 marked " female" by the collectors, do not at all agree with his descrijitidu, being, 

 however, practically identical with my ? ? from Calama and Uio Juru;i. 



The range of C. attrantiicoUi.s is as follows : — 



N.W. Brazil: Rio Javarri (Bates), Rio Jurua* (Garb^) ; Tonto Alegre, Bom 

 Lugar, Canacury on the Rio Funis t (Mns. Goeldi) ; Calama, Rio Madeira (Hotf- 

 manns). Pern: Sarayaru, Santa (Jruz, Ucayali (13artlett), S.uuiria (Hauxwell), 

 lilouterico (Jelski).

"Iris brown, feet pale blue, bill black, culminal stripe and basal band of upper 

 mandible yellowish green, base of lower jaw light blue." 



The sj)ecimeus agree with the type in the Munich Museum. The bla;:k 

 portions of the bill are uniform, without any red patch on the upjier mandible. 

 The colour of the upper tail-coverts is somewhat variable, being either sulphur- 

 yellow with darker, more orange tips, or nearly uniform bright orange-yellow. 

 Some specimens show a slight yellowish tinge on the foreneck, while in others 

 the latter is white like the throat.
