This form comes nearest to I), rostnpallens Des Murs of Upper Amazonia, liut 

 differs by its blackish maxilla, somewhat slenderer bill, and more olivaceous less 

 rufescent uuderparts of the body. The sjiecimens from Muuduajio and Nericagua 

 come very close to true J>. rostripallens in having the maxilla partly pale-coloured 

 and the utider-surface of the body more rufescent. A specimen from Quonja, 

 British Guiana (coll. Whitely), agrees with our birds from Perico, etc. Specimens 

 from Pto. Cabello in Mus. H. v. B. are somewhat smaller, and form the passage to 

 D. nana (Lawr.) ex Panama. 



It is not without hesitation that we mtroduce a new name into this already 

 complicated group of the genus Deiulrornis, but the form from the Orinoco does 

 not quite agree with any of the hitherto recognised forms, and none of the 

 numerous names already in existence can be safely applied to it. We now propose 

 the name Dendrornis rostripallens sororia for the Orinoco bird. A thorough
