* Pelzeln's specimens came from Borba (Rio Madeii'a), etc. 



t I take this opportunity to call attention to two skins in Mr. Rothschild's Museum, collected at 

 Bemavides, near Pari, in Eastern Brajil, on July 27 and 2S, 1879, by I'rof. J. B. Steere. They differ from 

 all the thirteen specimens uf Aut&nu'lus sclateri in the British Museum and eleven in Tring in their less 

 rufous, more greyish crown and nape. One (presumably an adult male, and marked '' viale " by the 

 collector) is of the same size or somewhat Larger, as typical Au. sclateri, the other (presumably young, not 

 sexed) has the bill very much smalkr than all the rest. I name this form — 

 Automolus sclateri paraensis subsp. nov. 



Type : male Bemavides, near Para, 27. vii. 1879, Tring Museum.— E. Harteet.
