BIRDS FROM BRAZIL AND SOUTHERN VENEZUELA—FRIEDMANN 485 
Huallaga River, Peru, has a wing length of 120.5 mm. I have seen 
no females from Peru. 
However, in response to a request, Dr. J. T. Zimmer has supplied 
additional mensural data that show that the Peruvian birds are not 
all large; his specimens from that country have wing lengths of 113-116 
mm., while one of his Guianan birds is just as big as our Peruvian one, 
with a wing length of 120.5 mm. 
XIPHOLENA PUNICEA (Pallas): Pompadour Chatterer 
Turdus puniceus PALLAS, im Vroeg’s Catalogus, Adumbratiunculae, 1764, p. 2 
(“Zuyd America”’; restricted by Hellmayr, Catalogue of the birds of the 
Americas, pt. 6, 1929, p. 109, to Surinam). 
SPECIMENS COLLECTED 
1 ad. o’, Brazil, Serra Imeri, near Salto do Hud, Venezuelan border, November. 
28, 1930. 
lim. 3, Venezuela, Chapazon, Brazo Casiquiare, January 31, 193. 
Both examples are in fairly fresh plumage. Study of comparative 
material indicates that the juvenal remiges are either retained in the 
first adult (nonbreeding) plumage or that they are not shed until the 
very end of the postjuvenal molt. Thus, a male from British Guiana 
is in adult plumage except for the remiges which still are very exten- 
sively dusky instead of white merely tipped with dusky as in the 
adults.
