78. Brotogerys chrysopterus (Linne). 



Seven specimens, both sexes, Vicinity of Paramaribo, Lelydorp, 

 and Javaweg, March, April, and August. 



79. Amazona amazonica amazonica (Linne)- 



Five specimens, both sexes, Vicinity of Paramaribo, and Pomona- 

 kreek, January, March, and May. 



In addition to the specimens hsted above, we have before us a very 

 large series from British Guiana, Venezuela, Colombia, Upper Ama- 

 zon, Trinidad, and Tobago, and we recognize at least two races, one 

 from British Guiana A. a. amazonica, type-locality Surinam, and^4/«a- 

 zona amazonica tobagensis Cory (Catalogue of Birds of the Americas, 

 Field mus. nat. hist. Zool., 1918, 13, p. S3) of Tobago. 



To this form, which is decidedly paler throughout, more yellowish 

 green, not so olive-green, the difference being particularly noticeable 

 on the shoulders and lesser wing-coverts, we also refer birds from 

 Trinidad. 



Cory states that in his Tobago birds four instead of three second- 

 aries are marked with reddish orange. In our series we find birds 

 from Tobago, Trinidad, and the mainland with either three or four 

 secondaries so marked, and we do not consider this character dis- 

 tinctive. 



80. PiONUS menstruus menstruus (Linne). 

 Two adult females. Vicinity of Paramaribo, December. 



81. PioNUs Fuscus (P. L. S. Miiller). 



Five adult females. Vicinity of Paramaribo, and Javaweg, May, and 

 September. 



82. Deroptyus accipitrinus (Linne).

 walk from the Tweede Rijweg,." May.
