" Iris brown, feet greyish brown, bill black." 



This bird is perfectly identical with typical specimens from L>olivia (Sara) and 

 Mattogrosso ( Chapada). There is no trace of a rufous nape-patch, but the lower 

 parts are distinctly suffused with ochreous. Cf. also J^''o^•. Zool. xiv. p. 28. 



M. m. nattereri represents M, m. momota in the districts south of the Amazon 

 and west of the Tapaji')z, as well as in Goyaz, Mattogrosso, and Eastern Bolivia. 

 The north-western limits of its range, however, are not exactly known.

The skins agree with Para examples in the Munich JIuseum, the feathers 

 about the forehead and in the superciliary region being broadly edged witli whity 

 brown. The male has the wing fully as long as Sclatcr's type. 



I consider it useful to recapitulate what we know about the distribution of 

 U. dea dea and its southern representative. /'. dea dea inhabits French, Dutch, 

 and British Guiana, the banks of the Kio Negro, from Marabitanas and San Carlos 

 down to Manaos, and extends to Liuitos, nortli bank of the Peruvian Amazons. 

 U. dea amazonum is found along the south bank of the Amazons and on its 

 southern affluents, from Para to Teffe (Uio Solimoens). The main valley of the 

 Amazons thus divides the ranges of the two nearly allied forms. Cf yov. Zool. 

 xiv. 1907. i)p. 27-8.
