much smaller. They appear to represent a dilFerent race ; unfortaaately both are

Good series from various localities are required to establish the geographical 

 forms of P. cMorion.']

Perfectly agreeing with the Humaytha series obtained by Mr. Hoffmanns on his 

 first trip to the Rio Madeira, and differing in the same way from a large series of 

 F. a. aureola from Surinam, ('ayenne, Marajo, Monte Alegre, and Manaos. 



Mr. HofFraanns met with P. a. flancolUs exclusively on the left bank of the 

 Rio Madeira (Marmellos, Humaytha), while, on the right bank, other forms were 

 found. Hence it is to be presumed that Natterer's examples also might have been 

 taken on the left side of the river, opposite Borba, and not in tlie immediate 

 neighbourhood of that settlement.

 Museum.) 



The two specimens are practically identical with a very large series from 

 Eastern Bolivia (types) and Western Brazil (Chapada, R. Guapore, and Rio Parana). 

 All of the rectrices are banded with yellowish white on both webs, the orange-yellow 

 throat-feathers faintly tipped with red ; the chest is strongly washed with crimson, 

 while abdomen and under tail-coverts are clear yellow, the latter with narrow, sooty 

 blackish tips. The adult male from Itaitiiba, left bank of the R. Tapajoz,* kindly 

 submitted for my inspection by Dr. Hartert, is also perfectly similar.
