CYCLORHIS. 391 
* 
In the collection before me are two specimens from Ceara, Brazil, 
which differ in having the yellow extending on the front and sides 
of the breast almost as much as in flavipectus; the rest of under 
parts, except the middle of belly, with a decided buff tinge, the 
crissum and tibiee more yellowish. The head above is washed with 
ochraceous; thus, in most respects, very similar to flavipectus, but 
with dusky legs. The latter character distinguishes them at once 
from flavipectus. They are rather larger than the specimen de- 
scribed above of C. guianensis, and differ otherwise, as stated, but 
agree in the dusky legs. If the same species, they may be in au- 
tumnal plumage. A specimen from Bahia (thus likewise from the 
easternmost part of Brazil) is quite similar. Additional specimens 
may prove it to be distinct from guianensis. (C. cearensis, Bd.)
