Hah. South Brazil (prov. Parana, Natt.). 



I think that MM. Yerreaiix were in error as to the supposed 

 locality of if. ephippialis. and that this bird is the same as R. dorsalis, 

 i. e. a southern form of 7?. hrasiJius, of which batterer appears to have 

 obtained specimens in the province of Parana. {Cf. Pelzein, I. s. c.)
