 typical locality).

 brnn-rouge." 



These specimens agree exactly with e.^catuples from Bahia, but have slightly 

 larger bills, and the male has the back of a much darker rufous brown. A female 

 from Para, collected by Mr. W. A. Schulz, in Count Berlepsch's Museum, however, 

 is in no way different from a series of Bahia skins. 



This is the first record of the species for the Lower Amazons, but Natterer 

 collected a male near Borba, on the Rio Madeira, which was examined by me 

 some years ago.

This specimen differs from others collected by the late H. WLitely in 

 British Guiana only in its rather narrower chestnut frontal band and in having 

 the yellow on the throat and foreneck of a more greenish tint. It is an adult bird, 

 with the plumbeous spot at the base of the lower mandible.

The eastern form is perhaps barely separable, even subspecifically. The 

 only difference 1 can find between my Para specimen and a series of Peruvian 

 and Bogota skins is the slightly darker bine colour of the former. The females, 

 however, present rather marked differences. Two specimens taken by Professor 

 8teere at Beueyides, near Para, lack almost entirely the olive-greenish tinge ou 

 the sides of the body, and the middle of the abdomen is whitish (not creamy). I 

 cannot say whether these points of distinction will hold good when a better series 

 of JJ. angelica is compared. 



The proper name of the eastern form, if separable, is as given above, I>. 

 arcangeUca (sic !) Bp.,* being strictly referable to the Bogota bird, for Bonaparte 

 says : " 1>. arcangeUca Bp. {angelica ex Bogota Auct.) sane diversa." 



The species is new to the fauna of Para.
