of 7'. hntziliensis. It is said to differ from the latter in its ratlior narrower and 

 diflferently-eolonred bill. As a matter of fact, bowever, the ? from Pani in the 

 Vienna Mnsenm agrees in botb these respects with ordinary females from South Brazil, 

 while one from Barra do Rio Negro and another from Mattogrosso show that colour 

 of the under mandible as described by Prof Cabanis, the basal third and the tip being 

 yellowish, only the middle portion black. Yet I do not attach much importance to 

 this difference, as fmra the same locality (Engenho do Gama in Mattogrosso) there 

 is a female with the bill coloured as usual.

These skins are not different from specimens from Cayenne and British Guiana. 

 Berlepsch and Hartert* have already observed that the so-called />. phimbea ex 

 Bahia cannot be separated.

It agrees with specimens from British Guiana, Bogota coll., and the Orinoco 

 region. A skin from Bahia (true L. simplex) differs in tbe less pure, schistaceous 

 colour above, which shows a decided olive wash, and in the greenish tint of the 

 lower parts. 



L. imnnnuhis Scl. & Salv. does not belong to this genus, and will be discussed 

 by me on a future occasion.
