scarcely any oa the wing-coverts. Finally, a male anil female from Calama 

 (Nos. 250, 87) have both the mantle and wing-covei'ts nniform cinnamon-riifous, 

 and there are but a few scattered black marginal spots on the outer web of the 

 remiges. These birds show a decided approach to C. torqmtas* of Guiana, Vene- 

 zuela, and Manaos, in the colour of the mantle, but may, of coarse, be easily 

 sei)arated by having the rump, upper tail-coverts, lower breast, and belly broadly 

 barred with black. Yet it is more than probable that both occidcittaUs and 

 tinnunculus will prove to be geographic races of the northern species.

Some of these specimens have the rufous of the remiges quite as mufh 

 e.xtended as Cayenne and Venezuelan (Caura) examples, while in others the quills 

 are blackish with hardly any rufeseeiit tinge. They differ, however, from those 

 of more northern localities by having very little, if any, rufous on the upiier 

 wing-coverts.
