coll. Whitely, agreeing with birds from Perico. Schomburgk (I. c, p. 690, 

 sub nom. Dendrocolaptes guttatus) says he found it throughout Br. Guiana; 

 Salvin (I. c, 1885, p. 422), referring to it as Dendrornis guttatoides, records 

 a specimen from Bartica Grove; and Dawson (I. c, p. 29) lists it under the 

 same name. Quelch (Animal Life in Br. Guiana, 1901, p. 177), speaking 

 of Dendrornis pardalolus and Dendrornis guttatoides, says that one or both 

 of these species will invariably be found in collections made in the forest 

 districts. 



E lie nia guianensis Berlepsch. — The type locality of this species 

 is Camacusa, British Guiana. It has been recorded by Salvin (I. c, 1885, 

 p. 295) as Elainea elegans, from Bartica Grove, Camacusa, etc.; by Sclater 

 (Cat. Birds Br. Mus., 1888, xiv, p. 150) as Elainea gaimardi, from Roraima; 

 and by Dawson (I. c, p. 13) as Myiopagis gaimardi. The Br. Guiana form 

 now stands, Myiopagis gaimardii guianensis (Berlepsch). 



Empidochanes fuscatus cabanisi Leotaud. — Recorded by Salvin 

 (I. c, 1885, p. 297, sub nom. Empidochanes olivus) from Bartica Grove; 

 and by Sclater (Cat. Birds Br. Mus., 188S, xiv, p. 224, sub nom. Empi- 

 donax oliva), who states that this is the northern form of E. bimaculatus 

 (d'Orb. and Lafr.), adding that he was doubtful whether it was really 

 entitled to the name oliva. The type locality of cabanisi is Trinidad. 

 The form inhabiting Cayenne is Empidochanes fuscatus fumosus Berlepsch, 

 to which we suppose the Surinam bird also belongs. 



Riparia riparia (Linne). — Recorded by Salvin (I. c, 1885, p. 206) 

 as Cotile riparia, from Bartica Grove. 



Sporophila bouvronides (Lesson). — Brabourne and Chubb (Birds 

 of South America, 1912, i, p. 367) refer S. ocellata (Scl. and Salv.) to this 

 species, and give the type locality Trinidad. References to S. ocellata in 

 Guiana probably apply to the same bird which Mr. Beebe had in hand. 

 Mr. Beebe also lists S. lineola (Linn.). Sharpe (Cat. Birds Br. Mus., 

 1888, xii, p. 130) lists S. ocellata from Carimang River, Br. Guiana. Daw- 

 son (I. c, p. 48) mentions both ocellata and lineola. 



Thraupis palmarum palmarum. (Wied). — Schomburgk (I. c, 

 p. 670, sub nom. Tanagra olivascens) states that it is abundant at the coast. 

 It has been recorded by Salvin (I. c, 1885, p. 210) from Bartica Grove 

 and Roraima; by Quelch (Timehri, 1891, p. 81; Reprint, p. 13) who says 

 it is common in Georgetown, mentioning the species again later (Animal 

 Life in Br. Guiana, 1901, p. 113); by Price (Timehri, 1891, p. 63) who 

 describes the eggs; by Percival (I. c, p. 16) who states that it is "not 

 very often seen in the Gardens, though common among the innumerable 

 cocoanut palms in and about town," where the writer also has seen it; 

 and by Dawson (I. c, p. 46; and Timehri, 1911, p. 272). The type locality 

 of palmarum is Bahia, and judging from material examined, I would say 

 that birds from Cayenne, Surinam, and Br. Guiana, differ distinctly from 

 true palmarum, and are more nearly allied to, if not indistinguishable from, 

 the Eastern Peruvian race, Thraupis palmar inn melanoptera (Sclater). 

 Saucerottia erythronota (Lesson). — With reference to this species
