would plead for the latter; but the different hue of head and neck, the 

 coloration of the body and tail seem to be in favour of F. badius. So far 

 as I am aware, moreover, F.Jigulus is only known from the province of 

 Bahia. The data are not sufficient to prove which species Azara 's de- 

 scription refers to ; but the localities mentioned seem to show that he 

 speaks of the true F. badius.
