 Hob S America, from Panama down to Brazil and Bolivia. 

 Mr Salvin and I have hitherto referred specimens of this species 

 to E. 'caniceps, Sw., and E. elegam, Pelz. Put there is much varia- 

 tion in the tinge of yellow in the crest, which was our chief guide 

 in separating these two supposed species. _ I now unite the whole 

 series under the title E. gaimardi-, having ascertained that the 

 Muscicapara gaimardi of d'Orbigny undoubtedly belongs here.
