M. Pelzeln has made some remarks in the ' Sitzungsberichte ' of 

 the Vienna Academy on my separation of Urogalba amazonum from 

 U. paradisea. I confess I was probably wrong in regarding the 

 latter as a species, and that it is apparently only a variety of U. 

 paradisea.

Since I have seen additional specimens of this bird, I am rather 

 uncertain as to the reality of the distinctness of G. fuscicapilla of 

 New Grenada (P. Z. S. 1855, p. 13. PI. LXXVII.). In one of the 

 Amazon specimens there is nearly as much fuscous colouring on the 

 head as in the New Grenadian bird ; and this may possibly be 

 referable to age or sex.

When I saw Spix's somewhat deteriorated type-specimen of the 

 present species in the Museum at Munich, I somewhat hastily con- 

 cluded that it was a young bird of G. paradisea. But the examina- 

 tion of the example in Bates's collection, and of another similar one 

 in the British Museum, have convinced me that this is certainly not 

 the case. It seems in truth a Brachijgalba, with the same short 

 square tail as in B. inornata, but with the bill rather stouter and 

 straiter. Herr v. Pelzeln states in one of his interesting communi- 

 cations to the Vienna Academy, ' Ueber neue und wenig gekannte 

 Arten der K. ornitholog. Sammlung,' that he thinks that this bird 

 may be possibly the young of my B. melanosterna. I am sorry I 

 have no means at present of comparing it with examples of that 

 Jacamar ; but the very pure white throat of the present species,
