It is not without hesitation that I separate this bird from the 
former. I have seen many examples of it from North Brazil, and 
have always remarked that they differ from the Cayenne U. paradisea 
in size and in the whiteness of the forehead. Mr. Wallace brought 
specimens from the neighbourhood of Para, whence I believe came 
also my type, which I purchased in Hamburgh. I may remark 
that there are many other corresponding species of birds in Cayenne 
and Brazil, of which the distinctness is generally admitted (such as 
Pteroglossus aracari and Wiedi, Caryothraustes cayanensis and brasi- 
liensis, and Piprites chlorion and chloris), which depend upon differ- 
ences similar to, or perhaps less than, those between Urogalba 
paradisea and U. amazonum. 
Genus 3. BracuyGaxsa, Bp. 
1. tnornata, Sclater, Synopsis, p. 7. sp.10. Brachygalba albi- 
ventris, Bp. Consp. Vol. Zygodact., nec Cuv. 
To the localities add: Quixos in rep. Equat. (Sir W. Jardine), and 
Angostura on the Orinoco (Mus. Kiliens.). 
The female has the belly rufous instead of white. This species is 
certainly not the albiventer of Cuvier, that name having been applied 
by him to Le Vaillant’s figure, Supp. H. (cited by Cuvier, insuffi- 
ciently perhaps, but not incorrectly, by the number of the page, 46), 
and consequently a synonym of Vieillot’s Jewcogastra, as placed by 
me in my Synopsis (see Cuvier’s Régn. An. (1829) i. p. 448). I 
had supposed G. albigularis of Spix, and not this species, to be the 
type of Brachygalba, Bp., because it stood first in the list. When 
the creator of a genus gives neither generic characters nor type, the 
only rule to go by is to take the first species given as the type species. 
2. BRACHYGALBA MELANOSTERNA, Sclater, Sp. nov. 
Supra mgricanti-fusca ; subtus nigra; mento albido: ventre medio 
albo: alis caudaque enescentibus : rostro albo. 
Hab. Goyaz in imp. Brasiliensi (Behn); Guarayos in Bolivia 
(d@Orb.)? 
T observed a specimen of this species in the collection of Professor 
Behn, at Kiel. It closely resembles the preceding, but has the 
breast quite black and the bill white. It was brought by the owner 
from the province of Goyaz, in the interior of Brazil. D’Orbigny’s 
specimen, mentioned in my Synopsis, page 7, probably also belongs 
to this species. 
I have nothing further to say concerning Jacamaraleyon and Jaca- 
merops. The Galbuloides Boersi is probably a fictitious bird. Spe- 
cimens of Galbaleyrhynchus in the Paris Museum were brought by 
MM. Castelnau and Deville from Pebas, on the Upper Amazon ; and 
one of these birds, in the collection of Herr Kalckmann of Ham- 
burgh, was procured in the neighbourhood of Pernambuco in Brazil. 
Excluding therefore the Galbuloides, we have at present no less 
than twenty species of the family Galbulide, all inhabiting the tro-
