Agrees in coloration and size with speciiuens from the left bank of the Tapajoz 

 (Itaituba, Urucnrituba), previously obtained by Mr. Hotfmanus. The species occurs 

 also in Eastern Peru (Nauta, Lpiitos, Santa Oruz).

Left bank : Humaytba (Hoffmanns), a single adult female obtained. 



On comparing this bird with additional e.xamples from Bahia, I find that, 

 e.xcept the nearly uniform black throat-patch, none of the other differences 

 mentioned by me hold good, and Count Berlepsch, to whom it was suliraitted for 

 inspection, also believes it to be -S'. ki/pospodia. It will be remembered that this 

 species has lately been procured by M. Jeau Kaliuowski in the Santa Ana 

 Valley, C.E. Peru *]

 by Mr. Hoffmanns. 



This very distinct sjiecies agrees with the South Brazilian S. cinerascens 

 Temm. in the coloration of the throat, but has a much longer bill, much paler, 

 greyish brown under parts passing into whitish aloug the middle of the belly, 

 and the ferruginous colour of the wings and tail is considerably cleirer. It is also 

 found on the Rio Juru!i,t in Eastern Peru, but does not appear to occur east of the 

 Madeira Valley.]
