CYCLORHIS. 



391 



In the collection before me are two specimens from Oeara, Brazil, 

 which differ in having the yellow extending on the front and sides 

 of the breast almost as much as in flavipectus; the rest of under 

 parts, except the middle of belly, with a decided buff tinge, the 

 crissum and tibias more yellowish. The head above is washed with 

 ochraceous ; thus, in most respects, very similar to flavipectus, but 

 with dusky legs. The latter character distinguishes them at once 

 from flavipectus. They are rather larger than the specimen de- 

 scribed above of G. guianensis, and differ otherwise, as stated, but 

 agree in the dusky legs. If the same species, they may be in au- 

 tumnal plumage. A specimen from Bahia (thus likewise from the 

 easternmost part of Brazil) is quite similar. Additional specimens 

 may prove it to be distinct from guianensis. (G. cearensis, Bd.)
