Habitat : in Veneznela, circum Suapnie. 



This bird is probably the same as F. nijipileatus, of which Berlepsch has 

 examined the type. 



Suapure : ? 28. viii. '92. " Iris light orange, yellow-oraugi' ; feet light grey ; 

 bill, maxilla brown edged with pale grey ; maudibula light brownish grey " 

 (Klages). 



Compared with several Bogota skins in Mus. H. v. B. the Huapure bird differs 

 in the more rufescent and darker under-surface of the body, and in the more 

 olivaceous less brownish shade of the upper-side of the wings. 



Another specimen, perfectly agreeing in colour with the type, was got at 

 La Priciou on the Caura, Dec. 14, 1900, by Mr. Andre. It is also marked ? . 

 " Irides orange-yellow, upper mandible blackish brown, lower paler, feet olive- 

 green." 



Wing 90, tail 82, tarsus 21| mm. 



This specimen may possibly be a male, being larger than i\i&/ema,le.

These birds agree well with specimens from Mt. lioraima, British Guiana 

 (Mus. H. v. B. and Triug), and are not materially different from a specimen from 

 Monterico, C. Peru, in JIus. H. v. B. 



S. griseus from Tobago is very different, the head, mantle and underside being 

 greenish olive, not grey. Skins from Cumana seem also to belong to gi-iseus. 



S. olicaceus (\\'ied) from Bahia is also quite distinct and nearer to S. erithacus 

 (Licht.), of which it might eventually form a subspecies.
