604 Mr. Charles Chubb on the 



This bird was first recorded from Paraguay by Mr. Bertoni, 

 who described it as new to science under the name of Hadro- 

 stomus borellianus. The above-mentioned examples, however, 

 agree perfectly with other specimens of Pachyrhamphus 

 castaneus in the National Collection from various localities. 

 I agree, therefore, with Dr. Ihering in placing Mr. Bertoni's 

 name as a synonym of the present species. 



[This species is undoubtedly resident though rare, and can 

 at times be met with in the vicinity of the water-courses in 

 the large forests. — W. F.J 



Pachyrhamphus castaneus intermedius. 



Pachyrhamphus intermedins Berlepsch, Orn. Ceutralbl. 

 1879, p. 63 ; id. J. f. O. 1879, p. 208. 



The two specimens recorded from Sarayacu, Ecuador, 

 collected by Buckley, are distinguished from P. castaneus 

 by the much darker chestnut of the head and back and the 

 brighter cinnamon-rufous of the under surface. Total length 

 52 inches, culmen 6, wing 3'35, tail 2*1, tarsus 075. 



Mr. C. E. Hellmayr suggests that these may belong to the 

 form described as P. intermedins by Count von Berlepsch 

 from Venezuela, to which I agree.
