Habitat : Bahia (Mus. H. v. B., Mus. Varsovie), Porto 

 do Pio Paranâ, April 24th, 1823. [J. Natterer leg., Mus. 

 Vindob.] 



I have examined the specimen collected by Natterer on 

 the Rio Parana, which proves to belong to mjE. e. taczanowskii. 

 It does not differ from the type of Bahia, but by the upper- 

 parts being somewhat paler, and by the tail being a little 

 longer. 



A new and undescribed species of Elaenia? 



About twenty years ago, through the kindness of Prof. 

 Ridgway, of Washington, I had the good fortune to examine 

 a large Elaenia of the obscura group, which at that time I 

 regarded as belonging to a new species. It had been collected 

 somewhere in Southern Brazil by Dr. Gr. P. Horner (cruise of 

 the " Delaware "), on Nov. 8th, and is numbered 23,951. It 

 has been spoken of by Dr. Allen in his (i Remarks on 

 Individual and Seasonal Var. of Elainea " (Bull. Am. Mus. 

 N. H., vol. II., no. 3). A re-examination of this bird is to be 

 recommended.
