 wing 2-3, tail 3. Female similar. 



Hah. Guiana, Amazonia, and Colombia. 



There can, I think, bo little doubt that this bird is the " Rouge- 

 queue de Cayenne" of BufFoa, and therefore the true type of 

 Temminck's genus Anahates, as has been shown by Cabanis and 

 Heine. I have examined the specimens in the Berlin Museum (from 

 Para and Cayenne) marked Sylvia (serius SpTienum) cinnamomea. 

 I have also before me a typical example of Pelzeln's Synallaxis 

 inornata, which I think cannot be distinguished from other skins 

 from Para, Cayenne, and Bogota.

 Synallaxis modesta, Natt. MS, 



Above brown ; wings externally and tail bright rufous : beneath 

 cinnamomeous, paler on the middle of the belly ; throat white ; 

 lores whitish : whole length 6 inches, wing 2"4, tail 3. 



Hah. Interior of Brazil. 



This species is very closely allied to S. guianensis. The white 

 lores are not a sufficient distinction, as they are quite as white in 

 some specimens of the latter. But the body below is cinnamomeous 

 in the present bird, and it is possible that the two species may be 

 really distinct.
