unknown locality, is described as having the "middle of the belly pure 

 white," and this fact in connection with Sclater's subsequent reference of 

 his type to Brachygalba lugubris Sw. (Cat. Bds. B. M., XIX, p. 172) indi- 

 cates that we are not here concerned with that form. Nevertheless, Tac- 

 zanowski (Orn. Perou, III, p. 120) refers a specimen from Pebas, Peru to 

 "inornata" and Sclater {I. c.) lists a specimen from the same locality under 

 lugubris, while ' fulviventris' he records from Sarayacu and Rio Napo, 

 Ecuador. 



Specimens ia our collection from the Rio Napo are referable to the form 

 here described as caquetae, which name can doubtless also be applied to the 

 Sarayacu examples, but the Pebas birds seem to require redetermination.

Found by us only at La Morelia where Miller secured six specimens. 

 The occurrence of this Amazonian species in Bogota collections as early as 

 1845 shows the wide area covered by native collectors at that early date. 

 Two of our specimens sexed as " 9 " have the ear-coverts white, indicating 

 that in this species the sexes are alike. Possibly, supposed "females" with- 

 out the white auriculars, are in reality specimens of G. purusiamis Goeldi ' 

 in which the auriculars are brown in both sexes.

Represented by two males from La Morelia and Florencia, respec-

 Colombia.
