 Rio Solimoens (Hoffmanns),** Ega (Bates), Rio Javarri (Bates). N.E. Bolivia: 

 Ynracares, near (^ochabamba (D'Orbigny). tt Pern: Yurimagnas (Stolzmann),

 Napo (Petit), Saraya^n (Buckley). 



On the north bank of the Amazons, near Obidos and Manaos, it is replaced 

 by the typical race, H. c. cantator (Bodd.). ||

The adult bird agrees with our series from Hnmaytha (left bank of the Rio 

 Madeira) and the Caura Valley, Venezuela. 



The nestling has never been described before. The pileum is uniform olive- 

 brown as in the adult, but the back shows large buff spots of irregular shape and 

 narrowly edged with blackish. The black spotting of the chest is altogether absent, 

 all the lower surface e.\copt the white throat being clear buff, the feathers of the 

 foreneck with indistinct edges of dusky. That the bird belongs here and not to 

 //. naevia tlieresae is proved by its short tail, greyish (not wa.K-yellow) legs, and 

 blackish upper tail-coverts. 



//. punctulata is known from both banks of the Madeira, but not yet recorded 

 from any Brazilian locality farther east.
