306 Mr. P. L. Sclater on the Genus Hylophihis.

 et pedibus fuscis : long, tota 4, alse 2*2, hujus rem. prim. 

 1*3, caudse 1*6. 

 Hab. Guiana et Amazonia inf.^ Rio Negro {Natt.) . 

 Mus. P. L. S. et S.-G. 



Natterer, the discoverer of this well-marked species, ob- 

 tained four examples of it on the Rio Vaupe, and at Barcellos 

 on the Rio Negro, upon one of which my original description 

 was based. I have since acquired a second specimen of 

 Madame Verdey of Paris, labelled " Oyapock ;" and the col- 

 lection of Messrs. Salvin and Godman have another from the 

 same source.

 tained by Boucard in Oaxaca in 1859, is widely distributed
