392 REVIEW OF AMERICAN BIRDS. [PART I. 
Another specimen has the color of under parts purer, with less 
buff. Another from Rio (No. 18,571), likewise with less buff be- 
neath, has the vertex showing a considerable amount of plumbeous. 
The back is somewhat tinged with ochraceous in the type specimen. 
This species agrees with guianensis in dusky legs and the re- 
striction of the yellow to the lower throat and extreme upper part 
of the jugulum. It is, however, larger; the bill lower, without 
trace of the blackish spot; the ochrey band of forehead extends in 
a very narrow line only along the upper eyelid, instead of broadly 
reaching the nape, and the vertex is washed with ochrey, so as 
almost or entirely to cover the plumbeous or ashy of the feathers. 
The under surface of the tail shows less olive green.

I have referred to the C. viridis, of Vieillot, based on a descrip-

near that of Azara’s bird for the two to be identical, and agreeing
