102 RiKEK Axn Chapman, Birds at Sa/itarcm, Brazil. [April 



Columba rufina {Temm.). — Common in the forests of the lowlands, 

 feeding in huge flocks amongst the fruit trees. 



[224. Columba locutrix Wied. 



Coltimba ioc/i/ri.v WiED, Keise Bras., II, iS2i,p. 118; — Allen, Bull. 

 A. M. N. H., II, 18S9, p. 290. 



A single specimen of this Dove, collected hy Smith March 3, 18S9, is 

 with little doubt specifically identical with the type of Wied's Columba 

 locutrix (A. M. N. H., No. 6442), and differs from it only in intensity of 

 coloration. The upper surface is darker throughout, the outer margins 

 of the primaries lack the slight grayish edging observable in Wied's 

 specimen, and the lower parts of the Santarem birds are of a more 

 glaucous-vinaceous hue. These differences may be subspecific, they may 

 be seasonal, or they may be in part accounted for by the somewhat faded 

 condition of Wied's type, which long exposure to light has evidently 

 caused.— F. M. C] 



225. Zenaida jessicse Hiker. 



Zenaida Jessicce Riker ms., Ridgw. , Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., X, 1887, p. 

 527. The type was taken June i, 18S7, and two other specimens were 

 taken from a flock feeding on the ground about a plantation. 



226. Columbigallina passerina (/!./««.). — Common about campos and 

 clearings, in flocks of a dozen or more. 



[South American specimens are certainly separable from the North 

 American birds to which Linnaeus's description oi '■'■ rostro fedibusque 

 Jiavis" evidently belongs. Lack of proper material, however, will not 

 permit me to attempt to define the range and relationships of the two or 

 more forms generally classed under the rx'^wxit fcxsserina. — F. M. C] 



227. Columbigallina talpacoti ( Tem/n.). — Not common. 



228. Engyptila erythorothrax (Temm.). — Common on the campos; 

 found nesting in July. 



[229. Engyptila rufaxilla (/?/c^. t£- Bern.). — "Santarem, June 6; seen 

 singly and apparently not common."*] 



230. Geotrygon montana (Linu.). — Two specimens taken on the 

 'mountain' in 1SS7. 



[231. Pipilo cumanensis i^yacq.). — "Santarem, May 10; deep woods, 

 not common."*] 



232. Pipile cujubi (Pelz.). — Common on the 'mountain' about clear- 

 ngs, usually in pairs or flocks; one specimen was taken July 26, 1884. 

 The native name is Cujubi. 



[233. Ortalida motmot (/,;■««.). — A specimen taken by Smith March 

 I, 18S9, and a second received through Mr. Southwick collected January 

 14, 1890.— F. M. C] 



[234. Odontophorus guianensis (Gm.). — A specimen collected by 

 Smith.— F. M. C] 



235. Opisthocomus cristatus {Lath.). — Very common along the 

 river's banks.
