(4340) Tachyphonus surinamus surinamus (Linn.). 

 Turdus surinamus Linn., Syst. Nat., I, 1766, p. 297 (Surinam). 



Specimens from Villavicencio and La Morelia while slightly darker than 

 those from Cayenne and Suapure, Venezuela, are unquestionably to be 

 referred to that form rather than to the east Ecuadorian napensis, the types 

 of which are in the American Museum. Lawrence (Ann. Lye. N. H. VIII, 

 1864, p. 42, wrote the word " type" on two specimens of napensis but neither 

 is specifically designated in his description. I select therefore Am. Mus. No. 

 40945 " Napo, cf , W. E. Moore" as the type of this form. The label on this 

 bird appears to be older, the ink more faded than that on the second speci- 

 men, indicating that it was acquired first. This bird has the rump tawny- 

 ochraceous as compared with cinnamon-buff in true surinamus.
