doubted the correctness of this locality and recorded speci- 

 mens which were said to be from " Mexiana and north side 

 of the Amazons" (P. Z. S. 1867, p. 579). As a matter of 

 fact, however, the examples collected by Steere near Para 

 and those obtained by Natterer at Santarem belong to 

 typical P. aureola, while two males from Borba on the 

 Rio Madeira (ex coll. Natterer) represent P. a. fiavicollis. 

 It seems therefore certain that on the Lower Amazons 

 eastwards of Manaos the typical form alone occurs. 

 P. a. fiavicollis, on the other hand, appears to be confined 

 to some of the southern tributaries of the Amazons. 

 Perhaps Sclater's type-specimen came from the southern 

 bank of the Amazon opposite Manaos. 



<J ad.— Differs from P. a. aureola only in having the 

 fore part of the crown as far as the eye, the sides of the 

 head and neck (except the upper margin of the ear-coverts), 

 and the whole throat pure bright yellow. The axillaries 

 and under-tail-coverts are also of a brighter yellow.

In the type the bases of the nape-feathers are creamy 

 white, and on the outermost tail-feathers there is a narrow 

 white shaft-stripe, as in some specimens of typical P. aureola. 

 Natterer's examples shew no trace of the latter, and the 

 basal portion of the interscapular feathers is pale yellow.
