BIRDS FROM BRAZIL AND SOUTHERN VENEZUELA—FRIEDMANN 541 
identification as colombiana is corroborated by the fact that Zimmer 
(Amer. Mus. Nov., No. 1193, 1942, p. 10) records a series from Aya- 
cucho as of this subspecies. This form is grayer dorsally and some- 
what duller yellow on the breast and rump than C. f. luteola.

SPECIMENS COLLECTED 
3 ad. @, 1 ad. ?, Brazil, Mandos, Amazonas, September 27—October 2, 1930. 
lad. o’, Brazil, Rio Maturacd, Amazonas, November 11, 1930. 
1 ad. o’, Brazil, Salto do Hud, Rio Maturaca, November 21, 1930. 
lim. 9, Brazil, Serra Imeri, Amazonas, November 29, 1930. 
lim. o, Venezuela, Chapazon, Brazo Casiquiare, January 30, 1931. 
Compared with C. f. roraimae, the present birds are less blackish 
above, with the yellow of the rump and under surface duller. The 
white wing speculum is absent. The Chapazon specimen differs 
from immature roraimae in the same way as do the adults of the two 
races, 
Zimmer (Amer. Mus. Noy., No. 1193, 1942, pp. 9-10) lists C. f. 
minima from Buena Vista and Solano, on the Casiquiare, and C. f. 
intermedia from the Casiquiare at the junction of the Rio Huaynia. 
Chapazon, Buena Vista, and Solano are all within 25 miles of the 
junction of the Casiquiare and the Huaynia, so it would appear that 
Zimmer’s intermedia may turn out to be specimens of minima. Yet 
he had 22 specimens of intermedia and 21 of minima from the Casi- 
quiare. 
ATELEODACNIS MARGARITAE Holt: Margaret’s Ateleodacnis 
Aleleodacnis margaritae Hour, Auk, vol. 48, 1931, p. 570 (north bank of Rio 
Amazonas at Ceo do Arary above Parintins, Estado do Amazonas, Brazil). 
SPECIMENS COLLECTED 
1 ad. @, 1 unsexed (apparently subadult &), Ceo do Arary above Parintins, 
north bank of Amazon, Brazil, September 20, 1930. 
The adult male is the type of the species. As stated in the original 
description this honeycreeper is closely related to A. bicolor (Vieillot) 
but has lighter, clear, blue-gray upperparts and pale bluish gray (not 
brownish buff) underparts. It is strange indeed to find this form 
close to the center of the range of its nearest congeneric relative. 
The range of this form extends to Igarapé, Auardé, just above Borba 
on the right bank of the Rio Madeira, and to northeastern Peru, 
according to Hellmayr (Catalogue of the birds of the Americas, pt. 8, 
1935, p. 321).
