This bird, evidently a very old female, differs from an adult male i)rocnred near 

 Pani, in November 1834, by Natterer (one of the types of .U. m'"Tor/ii/iif/iiis Pelz.*), 

 in the following particulars : the top and sides of the head are black (instead of 

 slate-grey like the back; ; the feathers of the sides of the body are uniform white, 

 showing no trace of the dusky shaft-lines so conspicuous a feature in the Para 

 specimen; the light cross-bands of the tail are greyish ash (instead of sepia-brown) ; 

 the lower mandible is black, not yellow. Otherwise the two examples are very 

 similar, e.xcept that the AUianca bird, being a female, is decidedly larger.f lu 

 both the lower surface, from the chin to the under tail-coverts, is uniform white. 



M. mii-aniloUt'i is new to tlie fauna of tiie Rio Madeira, but it had been obtained 

 at Chyavetas, in Northern Peru, by E. Bartlett,J and in various localities in North 

 Brazil by J. Natterer.
