» Scapaneus m^elanoleucos cearce Cory: Similar to S. m. melanoleucos, but 

 much smaller; wing, 162; tail, 115; bill, 38 mm. (type). Average of three specimeriB, 

 wing, 161; tail, 115, bill, 38 mm. 



•> Specimens before me from Macaco Secco, Bahia, are apparently intermediate 

 in size between S. m. melanoleucos and S. m. cearae and might be referred to either 

 form although they approach nearer cearcs. A male from Bahia measures wing, 

 174; tail, 126; bill, 39 mm.
