GALBULA ALBIROSTRIS ALBIROSTRIS Latham: White-billed Jacamar 
Galbula albirostris LatHam, Index ornithologicus, vol. 1, 1790, p. 245 (‘“‘America 
Austral’? = Cayenne). 
SPECIMENS COLLECTED 
5 ad. o, 2 ad. 9, lim. 9, Venezuela, Cerro Yapacana, Upper Orinoco, April 
2-23, 1931. 
The immature female resembles the adults. 
The extreme Upper Orinoco and northernmost reaches of the Upper 
Rio Negro seem to be the meeting place of this race and of the south- 
ern form with the completely dusky maxilla, chalcocephala. As 
may be noted under the discussion of the latter, we have a perfectiy 
typical example from the Upper Orinoco near Isla Temblador, the 
northernmost record for chalcocephala, while Hellmayr (Nov. Zool., 
vol. 14, 1907, p. 36) writes that two females from Barra do Rio 
Negro (Wallace and Natterer coll.) showed all the characters of 
typical albirostris but were smaller in size. Pinto (Rev. Mus. Paulista, 
vol. 22, 1937, p. 303) gives these as the southernmost limits of albiros- 
tris on the basis of Hellmayr’s statement.

The Orinoco example is the first one of this race to be recorded 
from Venezuela. It is darker brown on the breast and has a longer 
bill than any of the others but agrees in both respects very closely 
with Ecuadorian (typical) chalcocephala. The smaller bill size in 
the present Rio Negro birds is hardly significant, as there is so much 
variation even in this small series;
