Wisconsin, and Tonantins, Amazonas,* from all of which it slightly differs by 

 having the throat more mixed with whitish, and the bases of the jngular feathers 

 dull cinereous. Otherwise it agrees, in size and coloration, with females and 

 immature males. Count Berlepscb, to whom it has been submitted, also declares 

 it to be 0. aijilis. 



Allianca is the most southerly winter record of the species. An adult female 

 was obtained, in 1SS4, by Gastav Garlepp at Tonantins, on the Rio Solimoeas.*

This bird agrees with specimens from Nanegal and other localities in Western 

 Ecuador in having the supraloral and superciliary stripe deep fawn-colour, and the 

 lower parts somewhat lighter fawn with the middle of the belly largely white. It 

 differs, however, by tlie clearer olive-green back, and by the rather wider dusky 

 apical band of the rectrices, which besides is strongly tinged with olive-green as in 

 B.f.fiilriraudn. Without additional material it is, of coarse, impossible to say if 

 these differences are of any value; but the close resemblance of the Calama bird in 

 itself is a remarkable fact, since in Eastern Ecuador fand probably in other districts 

 of Upper Amazonia) we meet with the well-characterized B. f. fidcicciuda (see I.e. 

 pp. 652-3). The latter appears to have a peculiarly restricted range. All specimens 

 examined by me (two in the British Museum, one in Mus. H. v. Berlepschi are 

 from Eastern Ecuador, but Spix's type is supposed to have been obtained on the 

 Rio Soliraoens or one of its brauches (Iga or Caqueta). 



On the other hand, B. f. semicervinus is widely distributed in Colombia and 

 Western Ecuador. I have before me twenty-seven specimens from Bogota, W. 

 Colombia (Juntas, Jimenez, Sipi, province Chocu), and Ecuador (Nanegal, Paramba, 

 ('achal)i, Chimbo, etc.), belonging to the Tring and Munich collections. The 

 late Dr. Sliarpe t referred two Si from Eastern Peru (Santa Cruz, Chyavetas) 

 to B. iiropi/gialis { — fahicauda), but I doubt the correctness of this identification, 

 for these birds are more likely to belong with B. /. semicercinus or with 

 B. f. poliothri.c Berl. & Stolzm.t
