Crocomorphus flavus subflavus*' (Sclater and Salvin). Bahia Yellow

• Crocomorphus flavus inornatus Cherrie: "Similar to C. /. flavus, but outer 

 surface of wing fuscous, the coverts only with narrow, pale, sandy buff edges" 

 (Cherrie, /. c). Wing, 140 mm. 



'' Crocomorphus flavus subflavus (Sclater and Salvin) : Differs from C. /. 

 flavus in having little or no rufous on the wings; breast and upper back more or less 

 marked with brownish black. Wing, 5.20 inches. I have seen no specimens of this 

 bird from Bahia, but as the Amazonian form is now considered distinct from C. 

 flavus flavus from Cayenne, etc., it certainly must be different. Whether or not it 

 differs from C. flavus inornatus Cherrie I am unable to say, but in this connection, 

 it is worthy of note that immature birds of C. /. flavus are claimed to have the chest 

 and upper back more or less spotted and marked with dark brown (cf. Hargitt, Cat, 

 Bds. Brit. Mus., XVIII, 1890, p. 441, and Malherbe, Mon. Picidae, II. p. 30; IV. 

 pi. 55 (description and fig. 6, juv.)
