88 Haus von Berlepscb on the Genus Cyclorliis. 



diagnosis certainly applies to the species which Mr. Sclater 

 and I myself take for it. 



Comparing specimens from S. Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, 

 and Buenos Ayres, I do not find any constant diflferences 

 between them.

Mr. Sclater says " C. wiedi of Pelzeln (Orn. Bras. p. 74), 

 of Parana, is also barely separable." In my mind C. wiedi, 

 Pelzeln, is as perfectly valid a species as many others admitted 

 by Mr. Sclater. It combines the long rufous superciliary 

 stripe of C. cearensis with the uniform rufous under man- 

 dible (without any trace of plumbeous spot) of C. ochro- 

 cephala. 



I have examined one skin of this species, kindly submitted 

 to my inspection by Mr. Sclater, which belongs to his col- 

 lection. It is a typical C. iviedl, Pelzeln, " $ ," collected 

 near Eugenho do Gama, Matogrosso, July 27, 1826, by the 

 late Joh. Natterer. This bird generally agrees in colora- 

 tion with C. cearensis of Bahia, having the broad rufous 

 superciliary stripe extended, as in that species, to the sides of 

 the nape ; but there is not the slightest trace of a plumbeous 

 spot at the base of the lower mandible. The bill seems to 

 be more slender, the legs paler, the breast and the sides of 

 the body of a brighter and deeper yellow ; the back of a 

 brighter more yellowish olive-green ; the belly more suffused 

 with buff or rusty than in C. cearensis. 



Unfortunately, I have not yet examined the specimens 

 from Cuyaba, Matogrosso, and Rio Parana (coll. Natterer) 

 which are in the Vienna Museum, but I have little doubt that
