This bird I cannot distinguish from some Cayenne and British Guiana 

 specimens, the njiper wing-coverts being narrowly, but distinctly, vermicnlated 

 with whitish. Perhaps the nropyginm is deeper blue, and the white ends of the 

 three outer rectriees somewhat wider, but these slight divergencies are probably 

 individual. 



The distribution of T. v. violaceus aud T. c. vamoidana Dev. & Ues Mars * is 

 difficult to understand. The former ranges from French Guiana westwards to the 

 Amazonian slopes of the Colombian Andes, but occurs also on the middle course 

 of the Rio Madeira. T. c. ramouiana extends from the Rio Napa (Eastern Ecuador) 

 soutli to Peru, and is, furthermore, found in Lower Amazonia, specimens from 

 Victoria (left bank of the Xingu) being iu every respect similar to Peruvian 

 examples !

Agree with the type iu having the tail mainly dark green, and the central 

 rcctrices not spatulated. Cf. my remarks l.r. 



V. m. martii is widely distributed in Amazonia, ranging from Eastern Ecuador 

 and Peru to the left bank of the Tapajoz. In Western Ecuador, Colombia, etc., it 

 is replaced by l'. m. scminifa (Scl.). Cf. my revision of Spix's types, p. (ill.
