Bolivia and Peru and those from British Guiana, Venezuela, and 
Trinidad to warrant the recognition of Chubb’s miserabilis, described 
from British Guiana .. .” is borne out by material studied in the 
present connection. His inclusion of Perissotriccus in the generic 
concept of Myiornis is likewise accepted. There still seem to be 
too many slightly differentiated genera in current usage in the 
Tyrannidae. 
The single specimen collected is in fresh plumage.

The Brazilian specimen obtained is in worn plumage. It agrees 
quite well with a topotypical example but has the crown and occiput 
darker and browner. The Venezuelan example is less abraded 
although by no means in fresh feathering, and is more greenish above.

Hellmayr (Catalogue of the birds of the Americas, pt. 5, 1927, pp. 
358-359) notes that specimens from Venezuela and Colombia have the 
sides of the head slightly more tinged with fulvous and the tail feathers 
shorter than in more southern examples. Berlepsch’s name paulus, 
based on a Bogota bird, is available for these northern birds. How- 
ever, as Hellmayr points out, these characters are not constant; this 
is borne out by the material examined in the present study. 
SERPOPHAGA HYPOLEUCA VENEZUELANA Zimmer: Orinoco White-bellied Serpophaga 
Serpophaga hypoleuca venezuelana ZimmeR, Amer. Mus. Nov., No. 1095, 1940,

SPECIMEN COLLECTED 
1 ad. 9, Venezuela, Isla Orocopiche, Anzodtegui, December 1, 1929. 
In the absence of comparative material it is impossible to form any 
critical opinion of this subsvecies. The single specimen obtained by 
the expedition agrees closely with Zimmer’s description of venezuelana, 
to which form it should belong on geographic grounds. 
INEZIA SUBFLAVA CAUDATA (Salvin): Salvin’s Inezia 
Capsiempis caudata Satvin, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, vol. 7, 1897, p. 16 (Ourumee,
