site. It appears probable that the specimens with increasing 

 age become more and more white. It is thus at least quest- 

 ionable, whether »contempta>> can be maintained as a separate 

 race. The length of the wing of these specimens is resp. 295 

 (287), 311 (306), 312,5 (304), 316 (311), 317 (311), 321,5 

 (315) mm. The first figures represent the dimension of the 

 wing when pressed to the table, those in brackets the natural 

 length. 



Ara araramia Lin. — \ ^, ^^s» below Archidona, Napo

 Piganta, western side of Mojanda, 8600 f. 



Amazona ochrocephala Gml. — 1 (^, 7ii 1916, near Archi- 

 dona near river Napo, 4000 f . This specimen is rather remark- 

 ably large, as its length of wing amounts to 233 mm., while 

 this measurement by Salvadori (Cat. Birds B. M.) is recorded 

 to 8,5 in. and by Reichenow (Die Vögel) to 220 mm. If 

 this great size is an individual variation, or if a greater race 

 inhabits the Napo valley cannot be decided on one specimen. 



Amazona (far inösa Bodd. vel A.) inornata Sal v ad.? — 

 1 (^ "/a, near Gualea, 4000 f. GeograjDhically this bird ought 

 to have the latter of these names, the more so as it has no 

 yellow on the head, but its dimensions are small with the 

 length of wing only amounting to 237 mm. and it resembles 

 thus far inösa more in this respect. 



Amazona mercenaria TscH. — 1 (^, ^7?» below Gualea, 3000 

 f.; 1 c^ "Vs below Mindo, 4000 f.; 1 c^, '7^ Piganta, western 

 side of Mojanda, 80000 f.; 1 sp. without locality. 



Consul Söderström says, that it sometimes is found in 

 the woods of Piganta and Urubi up to an altitude of 8000 f., 

 but it is common in the woods around Intag at an altitude 

 of 3—4000 f.
