These specimens agree fully with others from British Guiana, collected at 

 Camacnsa, Carimang and Takntn rivers, by the late H. Whitely, which are evidently 

 referable tu the true surinamensis of Gmelin (ex Latham). The females of this 

 form have the whole crown chestnut rufous, striped with black, and the under- 

 snrface is uniform rusty buff, very seldom with a few indications of narrow 

 stripes. The males have the under mandible always whitish, not pure black, as 

 in M. cheiriei.
