Mr. Allen {Bullet. Am. JIii.i. T. //. XIII. (1900), p. 172) has put H. acuticauda 

 Lawr. as a synonym of H.flaripes Lafr., having compared the types of both these 

 species. 



While we fnlly agree with Mr. Allen in his statement, viz. that H. acuticauda 

 Lawr. is qnite different from //. auvantiifvom Lawr., with which it has been 

 generally nnited, it is nevertheless evident that Venezuela specimens (=^. acuticauda 

 Lawr.) can be always distinguished from Bogota specimens (= H.Jlaripcs Lafr.), 

 of which we have a large series before us, by having the abdomen much more bniFy 

 whitish, much less yellowish, and the breast more suffused with brownish grey, less 

 brownish. The upper parts are also somewhat darker in the Venezuelan birds, 

 and the feet are more brownish, less yellowish. We must therefore look on 

 H. acuticauda as a subspecies of //. J/avipes.

We have no Cayenne specimens to compare with, but the single skin from 

 Suapure differs from one from Eastern Ecuador by showing the breast and abdomen 

 of a paler or more greenish yellow, the jugulum and breast being distinctly striped 

 with greenish spots not to be seen in tlie otiier bird. Furtlier, the green of the 

 back is somewhat darker, the grey of the pilenm darker and more restricted, 

 the bill longer and heavier, the tail also longer.
