470 Dr. E. Lonn-berg on Birds from 



has no yellow on the crown, and shews well-developed rufous 

 margins to the wing- and tail-feathers. The measurements 

 indicate that it belongs to the larger southern species. 



This bird was usually seen near water and had the manners 

 of a Flycatcher. Not common. 



-4-72. Myiodynastes solitarius (Vieill.) . 



Only one specimen observed and shot at Tatarenda, 

 April 1902. 



l73. Milvulus tyrannus (Linn.). 



Tatarenda, April 1st, 1902. 



A male in much-worn plumage and a young bird with the 

 wing-coverts edged with pale rufous, the yellow of the cap 

 pale and only slightly developed. The most remarkable 

 feature is, however, that the primaries are not yet excised, 

 and that on the left wing the inner web of the outer prima- 

 ries is somewhat broader than on the right. 



When flying Milvulus opens and shuts its tail, making 

 movements like a pair of scissors. 



74. Stelgidopteryx ruficollis (Vieillot). 

 Tatarenda, April 1902. Only seen among the palms. 



75. Mimus triurus Vieill. 



Iris brown. Tatarenda, April 1902. 



76. Parula pitiayumi (Vieill.). 

 Tatarenda, April 1st, 1902, 



77. Geothlypis velata (Vieill.). 



A specimen from Fortin Crevaux, April 1902. 



78. Sycalis flaveola (Linn.). 



Two young birds, not yet fully grown, were shot at 

 Tatarenda in April 1902. 



79. Poospiza hypochondriaca (d'Orb. et Lafr.). 



I consider a young bird, not yet fully grown, shot at 

 Colonia Crevaux, to belong to this species. It was the only 

 specimen of the kind observed.
