Dr. Lorenz has kindly sent rae fonr of Natterer'.s specimens (c? ad., Rio Negro, 

 January 13, 1831; c? ? ad., Borba, Jniy 183U ; S ad., Borba, March 1830). Two 

 agree perfectly with Hoft'iuanns' skin from Humaytha and others from Eastern 

 Ecuador, while a male from Borba is rather paler underneath. The fourth e.-cample 

 (cJ, Borba) is in the rufous phase. O. ivatsonii is perfectly distinct from 0. c. 

 crucigerus, as pointed out by me I.e. 



S. utricapiUa Temm.,t based upon a Xatlereriau skin from Rio, is evidently the 

 same as Scops sanctae-catarinae Salv.,| over which name it lias priority by many 

 years.]

Tliis singular species ranges throughout Brazil from the Rio Negro southwards

 they are really identical with the Brazilian ones.]
