The light portions of the outer tail-feathers are pure white as in topotypical 

 Surinam examples, from which I am unable to separate the Madeira series. 

 T. leucurus, besides occnrring in French, Dutch, and British Guiana, is also widely 

 distributed in Amazonia. Mr. Hoffmanns obtained it at various places on the 

 ]{io Madeira, as well as near Teffe, Rio Solimoens (cf. Xoc. Zool. xiv. ]). 74).

Compared with the type, this bird is smaller with a shorter bill, and the 

 colour of the foreneck and chest duller, brownisji buff, the abdomen and under 

 tail-coverts alone being briglit ochraceous buff. The edges to the outer rectrices 

 are, however, clear cinnamon as in the Teffe and Humaytha specimens. 



The species ranges from the Madeira Valley to Teffe, on the Soliraoens.
