One 6 ad., taken February 2.5, 1904. No. 1998. " Iris roage-bruu." 

 As far as I know, it is the second specimen of this extremely rare species, shot 

 in a wild state. /'. aijtibi is strictly confined to tlie Paril region, where it ai)iiarent]y 

 takes the place of P. jacutin;fa {ii])\x). It differs from the hitter in lurking the 

 black forehead and snperciliary strii)f, and in iiaving the wing-coverts but broadly 

 margined with white exteriorly (instead of being for the greater part white). The 

 white margins of the lower jiarts, so conspicuons in F.jacutinga, are but faintly 

 indicated on the forenetk.

It differs from a good series from British (jniana in having no linskv liars 

 whatever on the rump and lower snrt'ace, these parts being quite uniform." One 

 specimen from the Capim River, collected by Wallace, however, is not distingnish- 

 able from Gniana examples, having the bars quite as distinct as the latter. A series 

 of Cayenne skins should be compared.

One S ad., January 28, 1904. No. I9.j(i. " Iris brim." 



This specimen difiers from a series from Baliia and Kio de Janeiro in much 

 darker, more sepia brown upper surface, especially deep blackish rniup and tail and 

 blackish brown secondaries and tertiaries. The black and white barring appears 

 to be more restricted, and the eye- and loral-region are pale rufous. In the latter 

 respect, however, a specimen from Bahia is (luite similar, but the upper jiarts are 

 much paler. A series from Para is re([uired to decide whether the above difl'er- 

 ences are constant or not. 



The specimen measures : Wing 8o ; tail 4ii ; bill is njm.

One 6 ad., taken April s, 19u4. No. 2044. " Iris rouge vif." 

 The specimen agrees well with a scries from Surinam, but has the lower 

 parts a shade paler. Witli a series of both, the typical form and that of Eastern 

 Brazil, before me, I can no longer distinguish ('. r. jj/leafus (Wied), the alleged 

 differences in the intensity of the chestnut-rufous colour on the pileum and on the 

 under surface not being constant.
