Like so many other Upper Amazonian types, e.g. Anoplops sahini, A. melano- 

 sticfa, etc., this species ranges from Eastern Pern to the left bank of the Rio 

 Madeira, bnt does not appear to occnr on the right side of the stream. Miss 

 Snethlage* has lately recorded it from the Upper Pnn'is.]

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



The adult birds agree with others from Venezuela (Caiira) and Rio Negro 

 (Natterer coll.). C. variegatiis inhabits the Gaianas, the Caura district in Eastern 

 Venezuela, as well as Northern Brazil from the upper Rio Negro (Marabitanas) 

 to Pani and south to the Rio Madeira, where it is as yet only known from the 

 right bank. In Eastern Ecuador it is apparently replaced by a closely allied 

 form, C. salcini Salvad.,t which may be only subspecifically distinct, bnt so far I 

 have not met with this race.

The skin agrees perfectly with several others from Cayenne, etc. The two 

 birds named .1. ntfcollis by Pelzeln are more deeply coloured on the lower parts, 

 but similar specimens occur also in Cayenne, Surinam, etc., along witli pale-bellied 

 ones.
