BIRDS FROM BRAZIL AND SOUTHERN VENEZUELA—FRIEDMANN 559 
The immature male, taken January 30, at Chapazon, is in an early 
state of postjuvenal molt. Young birds of both sexes resemble the 
adult females but are less rufescent above and below. 
In the collections of the U. S. National Museum is a specimen 
received many years ago from Boucard. It bears, on the Boucard’s 
Museum label, the locality ‘Lojas, Aequatur” and the date 1889. 
Although unsexed, it is an adult male by plumage. Aside from the 
fact that Lojas is in southwestern Ecuador, a region outside the 
known range of the species, the specimen is peculiar in that the crest 
is orange, not red, nearest in color to that of the race itercedens 
Berlepsch, but has the very narrow gular mark as in huarandosae 
Chapman. 
An additional specimen taken in Sao Gabriel, January 21, 1931, 
was preserved in alcohol.

Tachyphonus phoenicius SwAInson, Animals in menageries, 1837, p. 311 (believed 
to be from ‘Fernando Po, on the African coast,’’ errore=eastern Peru=

9 ad. @, 5 ad. 9, Cerro Yapacana, Upper Orinoco, Venezuela, March 22- 
April 23, 1931. 
This fine series agrees with other specimens from British Guiana. 
Apparently these specimens extend the known range of the species 
a little to the northwest. Previously this tanager was known only 
from two Venezuelan localities—San Carlos (Rio Guainia) and 
Mount Duida. Its range extends from the three Guianas, through 
northern and central Brazil to southern Venezuela and eastern Peru. 
A number of the specimens were marked as having the gonads 
enlarged.

All of these birds seem to be referable to brevipes, which is not 
exactly in harmony with the account of the races given by Hellmayr 
(Catalogue of the birds of the Americas, pt. 9, 1936, pp. 333, 334).
