hood of its being a ‘‘stage of plumage not fully mature.” By adding 
a new locality record for this plumage it seems to increase the possi- 
bility of its being a color phase appearing here and there within the 
range of variegatus. Asa matter of fact, one of the present Venezuelan 
birds has the pale dorsal bars much more rufescent than the other one 
and helps to bridge the difference between the latter and the Serra 
Imeri skin. The Brazilian bird is more buffy, less whitish on the 
lower middle abdomen than are the two Venezuelan examples. 
CRYPTURELLUS NOCTIVAGUS DUIDAE (Zimmer): Duida Tinamou 
Crypturellus noctivagus duidae Zimm=ER, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 51, 1938, 
p. 48 (Mount Duida (‘““Campamento del Medio’’), Venezuela, altitude 350 
feet). 
SPECIMENS COLLECTED 
lad. o, lim. o, Venezuela, Cerro Yapacana, Upper Orinoco, March 30—April 
7, 1931. 
These two specimens are the first to be taken away from the type 
locality, and extend the known range of the tinamou a short distance 
to the west. The measurements are as follows (adult first): Wing 161, 
156; tail 46, 48; culmen from base 32.5; tarsus, 52,50 mm. Zimmer’s 
measurements of the type, an adult male, agree fairly well except in 
wing length, the type having a wing 173 mm. long. 
The specimen marked immature resembles the adult one but is 
paler on the back, rump, and upper tail coverts, the black bars not 
so dark and narrower.
