Four specimens, tliroe of which are marked <?, tlie fourtli ?, but which in all 

 probability is also a male, for it agrees in dimensions and size of the bill with 

 nndonbted males. They were all taken at Igarap^-Assti on the following dates : —

Two specimens, both marked tj, but one probably a female, having a mncli 

 smaller and weaker bill. They belong to the form with narrow black culminiil 

 stripe, iind agree with a specimen from I'ernambnco (ty]iical aruc'iri). Exami)les 

 from S. Paulo are also not different.
