ART. 7 EEVISIO:^' OF THE GENUS BASILEUTEEUS- — TODD 17 



specimens from eastern .Ecuador and the upper Amazon as above 

 said. Tiie color of the upper parts is close to olive green, and the 

 tail is near dark citrine on its terminal portion, and apricot yellow 

 basalh^ 



Although Doctor Hellmayr has expressed doubt regarding the 

 validity of this race, it impresses me as a good form, judging from 

 the few specimens examined. This authority refers an example 

 from Yahuarmayo, Peru, to true fulvicauda., but all the skins I 

 have seen from southeastern Peru are certainly not that form. 



Specimens examAned. — Peru: E.io Tavara (1,600 feet), 2; La 

 Pampa, 2; Astillero, 1; Perene (2,000 feet), Junin, 1. Total, 6.
