According to Strickland (Cont. Orn. 1851, 104), Dulun nuchalis, 

 of Swainson (2| Centen. 1838, C45), forms a second species, closely 

 allied, but with a transverse bar of white on nape. The type (from 

 Brazil) is said by him to be in the Cambridge Museum. 



Note. — Since writing the preceding article several specimens have 

 been received from Mr. A. E. Younglove.
