BANGS AND PENARD: SURINAM BIRDS. 57 



120. Tripsurus rubrifrons (Spix). 

 Three specimens, cf cf and 9 , Javaweg, May. 



121. Veneliornis sanguineus (Lichtenstein). 



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

 February, April, June, and December. 



122. Veneliornis cassini (Malherbe).

123. Celeus elegans hellmayri Berlepsch. 



Fourteen specimens, both sexes, adult and immature, Vicinity of 

 Paramaribo, Lelydorp, and Overtoom. 



This large series from Surinam shows great variation in the color of 

 the head from cinnamon to ochraceous-buff, and in the tone of the 

 brown of both under and upper parts. The yellowish spotting of the 

 back and upper wing-co\ erts is very conspicuous in some specimens 

 and obsolete in others. 



C. B. Cory, who has made a study of the Celeus elegans group in 

 connection with his list of South American birds, informs us that the 

 Surinam bird differs decidedly from C. e. elegans (P. L. S. Miill.) of 

 Cayenne, and that although it also differs slightly from C. e. hellmayri, 

 he would refer the Surinam bird to the latter form. 



124. Celeus undatus (Linne). 

 One specimen, (cf ), Javaweg, May. 



' 125. Crocomorphus flavus flavus (P. L. S. Miiller). 



Three adults, cf cf and 9 , Vicinity of Paramaribo, March, and 

 December.
