 Pitylui cayanensis Pelzeln, I.e. p. 221 (Borba). 



Right bank : Burba (Natterer). 



The range of this form extends, in the east, to Para, and to the north as far 

 as Cayenne, British Guiana, and Marabitanas (npper Rio Negro). In North-East 

 Brazil (Pernambnco) it is represented by P. c. frontiUs Hellin.,* in South-Eastern 

 Brazil (from Bahia to Rio de .Janeiro) by P. c. brasiUensis (Cab.).t]

Rio Madeira : Salto Girao, Borba (Natterer). 



Natterer's specimens from the Rio Madeira, as well as those obtained near 

 Engenho do Gama, Rio Gnapore, and at Marabitanas, npper Rio Negro, agree 

 perfectly with typical Guianan birds. All records of C. ci/anea from Amazonia and 

 the Gnianas refer to the present species, which is the only one found in those 

 regions. I have examined examples from Cayenne, Brit. Guiana, Parji, Orinoco 

 (Mundnapo, Caura), Teffe, North Peru (Sarairia, Naiita, etc.), Rio Negro, Rio 

 Madeira, etc. C ojanea (Linn.) is restricted to Eastern Brazil, south of 

 Pernambnco.]

The spe^iimens agree with others from Cayenne, Trinidad, and Eastern Ecuador 

 (Napo). East Brazilian skins (Bahia, Uiu de Janeiro; have larger, stouter bills, 

 the lower parts of a clearer chestnut, and the alar speculum rather more extended.
