The specimens from La Pricion show the foreneck and chest a little more 

 yellowish than our specimens from the Orinoco, but this difference is not likely to 

 be a constant character.

Habitat : circum Capuano, Rio Orinoco. 



Typus: in Mus. H. von Berlepsch (? 5. ii. '99). 



This new species, which we have great pleasure to name after its discoverer, 

 Mr. G. K. Cherrie, seems to be quite distinct from any species described hitherto. 

 In its uniform upper surface it resembles somewliat Th. J'u.Hciceps Scl. from 

 Bolivia ; but it is a much smaller bird, and has a dark orange-rufous mark on the 

 upper part of the throat wanting in that species. 



* We substitute " Rio Negro." t The type came from tlie liio ^'egro.
