A. V. Pelzeln on the Genus Furnarius. 407 



Wien, xxxii. (1858) 322 (nests), and xxxiv. (1859) 115 (Nat- 

 terer's notices) ; idem, Orn. Bras. 35 (partim) , 



Furnarius assimilis, Cab. et F, Heine, Mus. Hein. ii. 

 (1859-60) 22; Gray, Hand-list, sp. 2184; Sclater et Salvin, 

 Nomencl. Av. Neotrop. 61. 



Hab. Brasilia centralis: Brasilia {mus. Hein.), Cuyaba, 

 March, June [Natterer). 



In the same manner as F. badius in the south takes the 

 place of F. albogularis, F. assimilis on the central tableland 

 of Brazil represents F. leucopus, which is peculiar to Northern 

 Brazil and Guiana. The Furnarius from Mato Grosso men- 

 tioned in Castelnau^s Expedition [vide Journ. f. Orn. 1857, 

 p. 46) perhaps belongs to F. assimilis.
