Rio Madeira : Salto do Girao (Natterer). 



Pelzelu mistook the examples of this species obtained by Natterer for the 

 young (and female) of J'J. chlorotira. E. chrynopasta has a wide range in 

 Amazonia, but in Brazil does not seem to occur east of the Madeira Valley. 

 The single female from Salto do Girao in the Vienna Museum is slightly more 

 yellowish green on the back than a series from Bogota, Manilos, and Venezuela 

 (Caura}. In size (wing 50 ; tail 36 ram.) it agrees with Bogota skins.]

Agreeing with examples from Bolivia and Eastern Ecuador (Rio Napo). First 

 record from the Rio Madeira, although Natterer had obtained an immature male at 

 Engenho do Gama, Rio Guapore, July 30, 1826.* C. chilensis agrees with 

 C. paradisea focfeo/o/' (Scl.) t in size, extent of golden green about the head, and 

 coloration of the upper wing-coverts, but ditfers by having the lower back and rump 

 deep scarlet without any yellow. Its distribution is rather curious, for it appears to 

 cross the range of C. punulisea coelicolor.

 black."— Wing 71 ; tail 45 ; bill 10| mm. (Munich Musenm.) 



This is the first perfectly adult specimen I have seen, both the type (from Salto 

 do Girao) and the two males from Prata, Parii, being slightly immature. It proves 

 that in fully adult males the throat is dull bluish as in C. gijroloiJes (Lafr.), but 

 C. albertinae can, of course, easily be recognized by its more yellowish green back 

 and its orange-rufous shoulder-spot. The species evidently has a wide range in 

 Brazil south of the Amazon Valley. Natterer and Hoffmanns obtained it on the Rio 

 Madeira, the latter naturalist as well as Robert met with it at Prata near Paru, 

 and Miss Snethlage took a couple at Alcoba^a, on the left bank of the Tocantins.
