This bird agrees with South Brazilian skins in having the basal portion of the 

 rectrices dull blackish, in decided contrast to the pale cinereous apical band, and 

 the under tail-coverts light slate-grey. Mr. Chubb (/.f.) having ascertained that 

 Parau'uayan examples are the same as those from Brazil, there is no longer any 

 doubt about the proper application of the name si/livntri.-i. The dark-taileil form 

 appears to range, in the north, as far as Para and Me.xiana Island, though 1 have not 

 examined specimens from these places.
