]\Iaranliao ; Rio Janeiro and Minas Gcracs^ as far soulh as 

 about the latitude of S. Paulo). 



Specimens examined. Twelve adult males and females 

 from type locality (Baliia) ; eleven from Para ; nine from 

 Peruambuco, Rio Janeiro^ and ]\Iinas Geraes, 



Measurements. Wings of Bahia specimens = 59-60 mm. 



Topotypical specimens have the mantle ashy brown, the 

 ])ileum brownish black, wings dark brown narrowly edged 

 with lighter, rump olive yellowish, tail-feathers dark brown, 

 throat-patch ashy grey; no wing-si)ot; yellow of under parts 

 clear saffron-yellow. 



Birds from Rio Janeiro and that district come so close to 

 typical specimcuH that they cannot be sc])arated, yet if 

 anything the upper parts are lighter and olive-brown instead 

 of" ashy brown. 



Specimens from Para seem to be inseparable from Bahia 

 specimens. 



With the material availai)le I cannot separate Bolivian 

 specimens from true C. chhroyyga. 



CcKREBA CHLOROPYGA MAJUSCULA. (PI. Vlll. fig. 1.) 



Certhiola majuscula Cab. Journ. fUr Orn. 1865, p. 413. 



Hab. Rio Grande do Sul (Guaratiugeta), Parana and 

 S. Paulo. 



Specimens examined. One aduit from Guaratiugeta (type 

 Coll. Mus. Berlin), two adults from Pelotas (Coll. Brit. 

 Mus.), and two from S. Paulo (Coll. Rothschild). 



This southern form of C. chluropyija, of which Dr. Reiche- 

 now lias very kindly allowed me to see the type, differs from 

 typical C. chloropyga in being somewhat paler and distinctly 

 larger. There is no wing-spot. 



In the type specimen the measurements are as follows : — 

 Exposed culmen 12 mm.; wing 63 mm.; tail 37 mm. The 

 two specimens from Rio Grande do Sul are 62 mm. and 

 63 mm. respectively, while in one from S. Paulo the wing 

 is 62 mm. (other? ? ). 



In five adult typical specimens from Bahia the wings 

 average 60 mm.
