Right bank : Borba (batterer, Hoflfmanns). 



Two birds in the Vienna Museum and a third at Tring have the ashy 

 superciliary stripe barely indicated, while in a series from Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, 

 S. Paulo, and Mattogrosso (Chapada) it is well developed. However, cf. my 

 remarks I.e. j). 408.]

42.5. Penelope jacquacu Spix. 



Penelope jaeqi'nfu Spix, Av. Brat. ii. p. 52. pi. l.xviii. (1825. — ^'in sylvis fluminis Solimoens") ;

 feet dark red, bill black, naked space on throat bright red."— Wing 280—300 ; 

 tail 31.5—330 mm. 



The specimens agree with Spix's type in the Munich Museum. This also is 

 an Upper Amazonian species, the easterly limit of its range being apparently the 

 Madeira Valley. 



42G. Ortalis guttata (Spix).

" Iris brown, feet reddish grey, bill black." 



In addition, I have examined Natterer's series in the Vienna Museum. The 

 Madeira skins agree in every respect with Spix's type. Cf. Abhaiidl. Bayer. 

 Akail Wissen&ch. xxii. 3. 1906. pp. 691-2. 



Like the foregoing species, 0. guttata is an Upper Amazonian form, ranging 

 eastwards as far as the Madeira Valley.
