obtained on the Rio Jordao. 527 
obtained in the tropical forest bordering the Paranahyba, and 
therefore no doubt gives a sample of the fauna running north- 
wards along that river into Goyaz. 
The collection was made during the months of April, May, 
and June of the present year. The altitude of the locality is 
given by Mr. Robert as from 700 to 900 metres. 
Mr. Robert’s continued success as a collector is a great 
encouragement to those who have helped him, among whom 
may be specially mentioned Sir William Ingram and the 
Hon. Walter Rothschild.

No doubt C. cucullatus, Spix, a name synonymized with 
various other species by more recent authors. What its 
proper name should be | cannot at present venture to suggest.

Hither of Wagner’s two names, Canis melanostomus and 
C. melampus, may be represented by these specimens.

These specimens, which differ somewhat from each other, 
are more or less intermediate between the species to which I 
provisionally refer them and the Uruguayan C. Feuzlleet, 
Eyd. & Soul. (C. m. Monzoni, Aplin). But more specimens 
are needed before the extent of variation in these different 
forms can be properly estimated.
