1867.] THE BIRDS OF THE LOWER AMAZONS. 587 



One example from the "Amazons," probably the lower part of the 

 river, appears to be a male of this species, as determined by Mal- 

 herbe. It is a close ally of C. rufus of Cayenne, but recognizable by 

 the dark rufous cap, and the black longitudinal lines on the nape, 

 sides of head, and throat : in Celeus rvfus the markings are trans- 

 ^erse.

«4-216. Ara macao (Linn.). 

 Mexiana. 



217. Ara hyacinthina. 



This species is not found in the Amazons valley proper, and appears 

 to be restricted to the slightly elevated plateau south of the Lovpcr 

 Amazons. It was seen about 100 miles up the Tocantins*, and again 

 about the same distance up the Tapajosf, where specimens were 

 procured by Mr. Bates. 



218. Ara mobilis (Linn.). 

 Para. 



219. Conurus luteus, Bodd. 

 Para. 



Very rare in the iieighbourhood of Para, where it appears once a 

 year, when a particular fruit is ripe. I only saw one flock in one 

 particular ti'ee, and obtained four or five specimens out of it.
