I have Prince Bonaparte' s type of S. plumbeus in my possession, 

 and eonsider it clearly the šame as T)r. Cabanis' species.

I have already stated the characters which distinguish this species 

 from the preceding, which is its representative in the more northern 

 portions of the South American continent, vvhUe S. azarce seems to 

 take its place in Bolivia. 



I am glad to be able to adopt Lichtenstein's name for the present 

 bird, because I can only very doubtfully refer the other synonyms to 

 this species, and in this statė of uncertainty have occasionally applied 

 to it the MS. name nigrigenis. But since I have seen the types of 

 S. grandis at Berlin, and have ascertained that they are really the 

 šame as my nigrigenis, I have adopted Lichtenstein's name, which 

 was published, although with rather insufficient specific characters, 

 in 1831.

The description and figure given by SpLx of his S. superciliaris are 

 as applicable to this species as any other ; but without examining the 

 type (vvhich I vainly sought for the lašt time I was at Munich), it is 

 impossible to be sure of beiiig right in using his name for the present
