This species has much shorter wings than the last, which it so 

 nearly resembles in colour, and is altogether feebler in structure. 

 Dr. Cabanis has accordingly separated it generically under the title 

 Arehiplanus.

I agree with Mr. Cassin (I. s. c.) that the distinctness of the 

 Brazilian form of this bird from that of the Guianan and Ama- 

 zonian districts is rather questionable. But in the series of speci- 

 mens before me, aU of the latter series (G. affinis) agree in having 

 the plumage in both sexes of a deeper and more shining black, and 

 in the males there is the additional character of the larger and 

 thicker bill, specially alluded to by Bonaparte (C. R.xxxvii. p. 833). 



It may be noted that Linnsus based his Oriolus JumiorrJious 

 mainly on Brisson's Cassicus r^iber, which = Cassicus affinis. 

 Luckily, however, Linnaeus put Brazil first in his list of localities ; 

 so I think (as he comprehended both forms under one name) we are 

 justified in following the general practice of retaining the name 

 hcemorrhous for the Brazilian form, and calling the Gruianan form 

 affinis.
