Description. — Above plain dull olive green; wings dusky brown, externally 

 citrine (except toward tip), the greater and middle coverts tipped with 

 buffy ochraceous, forming two wdng-bars; inner secondaries with buffy or 

 buffy ochraceous external edgings towards their tips; tail dull grayish 

 brown, washed with citrine externally; sides of head and neck dull olive 

 green like the back; entire under parts yellow ocher, nearer old gold on the 

 upper throat, with little or no olivaceous shading. 



Measurements. — Six adults, unsexed: wing, 59-64 (62); tail, 45-51 (48); 

 bill, 9.5-10.5 (10); tarsus, 13.5-15.5 (14.5). 



Range. — Known only from the vicinity of Bahia, eastern Brazil. 



Remarks. — This, the tj'pical race, appears to be known only from so-called 

 Bahia trade-skins, although it undoubtedly has a wide range in eastern 

 Brazil. It was described by Lichtenstein almost one hundred years ago 

 from such a specimen, which is still extant in the Berlin Museum. No 

 mention is made in the description of any wing-bars or colored tips to the 

 secondaries, but Dr. Ernst Hartert, who recently examined the type at the 

 writer's request, found it to agree closely with a colored sketch representing 

 a supposed Bahia specimen possessing these characters. This form is 

 characterized by the generally deep and uniform coloration of the under 

 surface, with very little olivaceous shading on the throat and breast. 



Specimens examined. — Brazil: "Bahia," 6.
