" Two specimens from base of Serra da Lua, near Boa Vista, Rio Branco region, 

 I have referred provisonally to this form, but they differ sufficiently to suggest that 

 a larger series may prove them not to be the same. They agree with undulaius in 

 the brownish olive ground color of the upper parts. 



» Picumnus salvini Hargitt: Similar to P. undulatus of Guiana, but distinguished 

 by the feathers of the belly being black, spotted in the middle, and girded (or sur- 

 rounded) with a fuscous margin and also in having the feathers of the throat tipped 

 with black but without the median black spot. This bird is unknown to me. 



" Penard and Penard (De Vog. van Guyana, /. c.) give Sclater credit for the 

 name, but I am unable to find Sclater's original description. The explanation 

 suggested by Bangs and Penard (/. c.) seems probable.
