Remarks. — This species is evidently nearest to C. olivaceus (Tem- 

 minck) of southeastern Brazil, and may possibly have to stand as a 

 subspecies of that form. The color of the upper surface and wing- 

 coverts is the same in both, but in C. intermedius the under parts 

 generally are brighter (although not so bright as in C. cequinoctialis), 

 while the chin and throat are paler and more yellowish. Moreover, 

 C. intermedins is a smaller bird, the bill in particular being smaller and 

 narrower. The four specimens above recorded are very uniform, and 

 obviously represent a form which is intermediate both in characters 

 and in range between C. cequinoctialis and C. olivaceus.
