Obs. A Celeo flavo dorso et pectore squamulatis necnon alis extus 
omnino fuliginoso-nigris distinguendus. 
This S.E.-Brazilian form of Celeus flavus (sive citrinus) is so 
strongly marked that it seems necessary to distinguish it specifi- 
cally. 
i the typical form from Cayenne and Guiana the whole of the 
secondary wing-feathers are of a bright chestnut, and the wing- 
coverts are more or less edged with yellow. 
In the Venezuelan and Trinidad form (Celeus semicinnamomeus, 
Reich. Handb. p. 407, et t. pcix1. fig. 4386) the wing-coverts are 
immaculate yellow. 
In the Upper Amazonian form there is an approach to the Bra- 
zilian species in the fuliginous colouring invading the secondaries ; but 
the outer and inner edges of these feathers remain chestnut, though 
not so bright as in the typical form. Of this form, Salvin and God- 
man’s collection contains an example from Chyavetas (Bartlett). 
But in none of these local forms is there any appearance of the 
black markings on the breast and upper back which distinguish the 
8.E.-Brazilian bird. 
Malherbe (/. s. c.) has figured the Brazilian form with tolerable 
accuracy. We propose to name it Celeus subflavus, under which 
term it has long stood in Sclater’s collection.
