Long, tota, 5.6; ale, 3.6, 
Habitat, Rio Negro and Rio Napo. 
This species was first described by M. Cabanis, as above quoted 
in a note to Sir R. Schomburgk’s Reise nach Guiana. The speci- 
men here figured, was received by M. Verreaux from the Rio Negro, 
and is the property of Mr. Edward Wilson, to whom I am much 
obliged for the loan of it. M. Bourcier, on his recent return from 
Ecuador, brought a single skin of this bird, which he obtained from 
the Indians on the river Napo, an upper branch of the Amazon, 
where it was said to be rare. It may be distinguished from the two 
previous species, by the protracted superciliary stripe and absence 
of the chestnut red of the yent.and stomach.
