We do not nnderstand the difference between ^1. cajanea (Miill.) and ,1. cliiricote 

 (Vicill.) as pointed out by Dr. Sbarpe ; the geographical distribution of the two 

 supposed forms is, according to the distribution given in the Cat. B. xxiii. p. 50, 

 evidently overla])])ing. The birds from the Orinoco have the pileum ashy grey, 

 slightly tinged with brownish on the occiput, and the liack greenish grey-brown, 

 not so brownish as in specimens from British Gniana and Trinidad.

* It is important to compare a .■series from Cayenne. Daubenton's picture does not app.arently quite 

 suit the birds from British Guianji.
