HylexetastM uniformis Hellmayr, Rev. Frang. Orn. i. p. 100 (1909— Calama, Rio Madeira, Brazil, 

 also Borba). 



Type : ^ vix ad., Calama, 25.vii.1907. W. Hoffmanns leg. No. 271.

 Orinoco). 



Type: ^, Nericagua, 12. iv. 1899. Geo. K. and Stella Cherrie leg. No. 

 12484. 



(Though my mentor and master in South American ornithology and I 

 described this rare form as a species, I have now no doubt that it should be 

 regarded as a subspecies of X. promeropirhynchus and procerus, and it appears 

 indeed to be nearer the latter, though different in several details, and much 

 larger.) 



1051. Picolaptes albolineatus littoralis Hart. & Goods. = Picolaptes lineaticeps 



littoralis. 



Picolaptes albolineatus littoralis Hartert & Goodson, Nov. Zool. xxiv. p. 417 (1917 — " Coastal region 

 of North Venezuela"). 



Type: ^ ad., Quebrada Secca, State of Cumana, Venezuela, 9.ii.l898.

(There seems to me no doubt now that albolineatus and littoralis, and others, 

 are subspecies of P. lineaticeps.)

(I agree with Hellmayr, Nov. Zool. 1906, pp. 29, 30, that specimens from 

 Trinidad and Tobago cannot be separated.)
