ment of the tawny color on the throat is quite variable in the present 
series. None of the birds show any ventral pallor as in the. more 
eastern, Lower Amazonian form, wallacit. : 
The range of the nominate race is given by Hellmayr as “eastern 
Brazil, in the southern section of the state of Bahia (exact limits 
unknown)”’; Zimmer lists specimens from “Bahia,” ‘‘Rio Janeiro,” 
and ‘‘Brasilia.”” In view of the paucity of data it may be worth while 
to put on record an adult male taken at Pau Gigante, Espiritu Santo, 
May 9, 1940, by Ernest G. Holt. It is a very large individual (wing 
98; tail 74; culmen from base 18.2 mm.). The definite knowledge of 
the occurrence of turdinus so far to the south argues for the specific 
distinctness of this species and S. virescens, as the latter is a bird of 
southeastern Brazil. 
The seven males of amazonus show the following variation in size: 
Wing 84-89 (average 86.2); tail 60-64 (62); culmen from the base 
15-17 (16.2 mm.). ;
