NOTES CRITIQUES SUR QUELQUES TROCHILIDAE.

Par E. SIMON et C. E. HELLMAYR.

1. SUR DEUX ESPfiCES DU GENRE AGYRTRIA.
Agyrtria versicolor (Vieillot) {A. a/finis GduM).

Triichilus oeisiroliir Vieillot, in Xonr. Dirt, xxiii, p. 4.'50 (181S) (Bresil, in Musi'um d'Histoire
Naturelle de Paris).

Thaumantiax affiiiix Gould, Monnij. Tmi-hil. v. pi. I'M (1S55. — Novo-Friborgo, prov. de Rio-de-
Janeiro ; Minas-Geraes).

An Museum de Paris: («) Oisean moiite, tiiv[.: " Agi/rtria brtu-irostris (Less.).
Trochilus versicolor (Vieill.) — t)'pe. Delalande, Bresil No. 5022." (Aile 51 inm. ;
queue 2ft mm. ; bee 15^ mm.)

Ce specimen, qui correspdud exactement a la description de Vieillot, se rapporte
au Thaamaiitias affinis Gould et ne diflfere en rien des nombren.x individns provenant
de Rio et de Minas-Geraes, auxquels nous I'avons com|)are.

A. offiiiiK devra done prendre le nom de ccrsicolor, qui est de beaucoup le plus
ancien et que 0. Salvin a attribuS k tort k la synonymie du Stepkanoxis delalandei
<Vieillot).*

L'espfece est remplacee plus an Nord, uotammeut dans la i)roviiice de Bahia,
par une forme qui se distingue du type par le menton, le milieu de la gorge et
de lapoitriue, d'un blanc pur ; cette forme, qui estparfois reliee an tyj)e par qnelques
transitions, correspond a YOrnismija brecirostris Lesson (decrit k tort de la Gnyane)
•et a VAgijrtria brecirostris de tons les antenrs modernes ; elle devra s'appeler
A. versicolor brevirostris (Lesson).

Agyrtria neglecta (Elliot) = Ag. eersicolor + Ilijlockaris claims.

Dei)nis lors I'espece a fignr(5 daus tons les onvrages sons le uoni d'Ac/i/i(ria
mglecta (Ell.) ; I'nn de iions % a propose de la rej.orter an genre I'ob/rrata a canse
de la disparity des sexes.

Mais nn nouvel examen, tros soignenx, nous a convaincns que cette pretendne
espece reposait snr nue fantaisie de preparatenr : le type est en effet nn oiseau
monte tres detraiclii, forme d'une tete de Ihjlocliaris ojanxs tres habilement
adiipt^e a nn corps A\\g>/rtria eersicoloi: Nous avons en un instant d'liesitation
!i canse de la teinte d'nn blen pins pale et pins verdatre qne celni de Ihjlocharix
frais et de la mandibnle snpdrienre passee an brnn presqne noir, mais nous avons
pn nous procurer, comma terme de eomparaison, (jnelques tres vicnx specimens
de Ili/loiharis cijaiius, ayant snbi, sons Faction dn temps, les memes alterations
et le donte n'a pins dte possible.

Qnant ii la femelle, elle ne diflftre de YA. versicolor que par la base des
rectrices d'un vert un pen plus grisatre, mais cette difference est bien insiguifiante.

.1. neylerta devra done disparaitre des catalogues et aller rejoindre les
Chri/solampis gigliolii {Chn/sohimpis mo.s</i/it><s cajiite + Florisuya mellifora corpore)
et Amazilia aeneobrunnea {Chlorostilhon gihsoin capite + Chrysolamjna mosquitits
corpore).

'ii.olk.—Agi/rtria crr^irolor (Vieillot) est tres repandu daus les provinces de
Kio, Miuas-Gerai-s, !S. Panlo et Mato-Grosso ; son extension en Bolivie u'avait
pas encore ete signalee, mais il est a noter qne le male dM. iiegli'cta (No. 3»5
de D'Orbigny) est indique des Llanos de j\fo}os daus la partie la plus orientale
de la Bolivie, avoisinant le Mato-Grosso; la femelle (No. 349) est indiquee comme
originnire des Ynngas, forets chandes de la pente orientale des Andes.

II. SUR LE CHLORESTES MALVINA Reichenbach.

L'oisean figure par Reichenbach sous le nom de Clilorestes makiim (pi. 096,
g'. 45r)0-4551) n'a jamais ett^ regnliercment decrit§ et son nom a ^te omis par
la plnpart des anteurs recents; ni Elliot ni Hartert ne le mentionnent; 0. Salvin
le cite cependant, mais en le iilac;ant arbitrairemeiit en synonymie de YAgi/rtria
riridissima {Cat. Birds, xvi. p. 1^0;.

Le type qui a servi ii la figure 45.i() de Reichenbach existe encore an Mnsde
de Vienne, et grace a nne obligeante commnuication du Dr. Lorenz-Liburnau, nou.^
avons pn en faire nne etude complete.

Les affinites de cette espfece sout fort iuteressantes, car elle u'ajipartient ni
an genre Chlorestes ni an genre Agt/rtria, mais rappelle bien davautage le genre
I.eitcorldoris, dont la seule esjjece connne jusiju'lci est le L. albicollis (Vieillot).

courtes que les suivantes et beancoup plus 6troites, surtout dans lenr moiti6 apicale,
qui est snbacumin^e et par son systfeme de coloration, par sa poitriae d'nn blanc
pur, son menton et ses jones d'uu vert sombre, ses trois rectrices exteriies noires
et longuement point^es de blanc.

Ces caractferes sont a la verite afl'aiblis dans le Chlorestes malvina : ses rectrices
externes sont aussi plus coartes que les snbexternes, mais beaucoup moins que
dans le L. albicoUis, et elles sont a peine plus etroites, obtuses an lieu d'etre
acumin^es ; ses rectrices mediaues sont environ de 3 mill, plus courtes que les
subm&lianes, tandis que celles de L. albicoUis sont presque de meme longueur ;
son bee (de meme forme et de mSme coloration) est un peu plus court et plus
etroit.

Ces particularites nous paraissent plntot specifiques que g6n6riques et ne
justifient pas la creation d'un genre special pour le Ch. malvina.

La livr^e des deux espfeces est la meme dans son ensemble sauf certaines
dift'^rences de detail indiquees dans la description ci-dessons. La pins notable de ces
differences est que la go?'ge du L. alljicoll/s est entierement d'nn blanc pur, tandis que
celle de L. malcina est blanche et parsem(5e de plumes a gros disques arrondis d'un
vert tr6s brillant rappelant celui de XEngijete alinae (Bourcier).

La synouymie de Fespece devra s'6tablir comme suit :

Leucochloris malvina ( Reich b.).

Dessus du corps d'un vert dor6, un peu jdus brillant (presque lumineus) sur
le front et le vertex, trfes l^g^rement teint6 de bleuiitre sur les supra-caudales.
Plumes du menton gris-noiratre avec de petits disques apicaux vert brillant,
gorge blanche parsemee de plumes orn^es de taches apicales d'un vert-bleuatre
tres brillant, fiuement bordees de blanc ; ces plumes plus denses sur les cotes
oil elles masquent presque entierement la partie blanche ; region auriculaire dn
meme vert que le dos ; region sous-oculaire et jones d'un vert-bleuatre plus brillant,
I'extreme base des plumes etant seule grisatre. Poitrine et abdomeu vert dore
plus brillant que celni du dos, avec la base des plumes fuligineuse ; region
abdominale marqu6e d'une ligue blanc-grisatre. Sons-caudales brun^tres large-
ment bordees de blanc, quelques-unes des plus petites gris-brunatre avec un disque
vert brillant. Convertures superieures des ailes vert-bronze, excepte les plus
grandes, (jui sont d'nn brun-violac6 legerement teiut6 de verdatre ; remiges bruu-
violac^. Rectrices noir-bleu&tre, les mediaues tres nettement, les antres tr6s
legferement au cot6 externe, les deux laterales de cbaqne cot^, bordees de vert
olive-bronze- ; la rectrice externe marquee d'une tache apicale d'un blanc presque
pur, la sub-externe d'une tache apicale plus petite d'nn blanc-grisatre. Maudibnle
superieure noiratre,* inferieure jaune piile rembruuie a la pointe. (Aile 55J ;
queue 31 ; bee 20 J mm.)

* Le bee de IVxemplaire type n'est pas intact ; sa mandibule superieure a perdu aocidentellement
une partie de sa cuticule corn§e, ce qui la fait paraitie rougeStre 'X la base. Cet accident est sans doute
postirieur 4 la figure de Reichenbach, qui reprisente cette mandibule entierement noire.

Gen. H. B. p. 346."

(ft) " ?. ^. bolimanus Bone. Buckley, Bolivia. Type Gen. H. Birds, p. 346."

Ce nom a et^ plac6 un pen l(5g6rement en synonymie de 1' 0. stolzmanni Salv.
par Simon * et Hartert ; f r<5tnde qne nons avons faite des tj-pes, an Mus6nm
de Paris, nous a convaineus que cette espece devait etre maintenue, an moius
provisoirement, ct meme qne ses pins ^troites affinites u'etaient point avec
0. stolzmanni.

Nons croyous devoir tout d'abord completer la description par trop sommaire
de Boncard :

(?. Partie snperienre dn corps olive-cendrc comme chez 0. leucopleurus et
0. estellae, passant an bronze-olive nn pen rougeatre snr les snpra-caudales ; partie
inftrieure blanc-grisfi,tre avec la gorge d'nn vert dor6 brillant, limite en arrifere
par nue fine ligne noire transverse droite, et I'abdomen marqn^ d'nne bande
d'nn noir-verdatre, elargie d'avaut en arrifere. Sons-candales gris-oliviltre. Ailes
noiriltres. Rectrices e.xternes nn pen pins conrtes qne les suivantes et nn pen
pins etroites, neanmoins assez larges, pen attennees, obtnses et li^gerement incnrvees,
d'nn noir pale h reflets bleniitres avec la base interne blanche jnsqne vers le milien,
an moins an bord ; les rectrices 2, 3 et 4 snbsemblables entre elles, blanches avec
nn tres etroit lisiire noiratre externe ; rectrices m(5dianes enti^rement vert-bleuatre
obscnr. Bee long, noir (t? aile 72 ; queue 50 J ; bee 22 mm. — ? aile 70 ; queue 49;
bee 20 mm.).

0. bolivianus ressemble done an.x 0. stolzmanni et leucopleurus par la coloration
de sa face ventrale, difffere de VO. estellae par sa bande abdominale noir-verdatre,
uon ronsse. II ressemble completement anx 0. estellae et leucoj/leurus par la
coloration de sa face dorsale d'nn gris-olive, mais s'61oigne beanconp d'O. stolzmanni,
qui est en-dessns d'nn vert vif, ISg^rement cnivr^.

Par la forme, la proportion et la coloration de ses rectrices latt^rales il difft^re
grandement de VO. leucopleurus dont les externes sont beanconp pins I'troites ct
falciformes, et d'O. stolzmanni dont les externes sont, an contraire, un pen plus
larges, plus attenutSes et anssi longnes que les rectrices snivantes, mais il ressemble
tout !i fait il VO. estellae; son bee est anssi semblable fi celni de cette derni^re
espece, tandis qne celui des 0. stolzmanni et leucopleurus est plus court et
moins conrb6.

La femelle, attribuee par Boncard a sou 0. bolivianus, ne difiere absolument
de VO. estellae qne par le dessons dn corps d'nn blanc tres 16gerement teint6
de bruns'itre, ce qui est pent-etre nn caractere iudividnel.

En resnm6, si 0. bolivianus devait forcement etre rapporte Ji I'nne des espfeces

d6crites aut^rieuremeut, il conviendrait de le cousid^rer comme line forme d'O. cstellae
a bande veiitrale noire.

L'espece du Nord du Peroii a dos vert dore doit reprendre le nom d'O. stolz-
manni Salvia.

Nota. — Le genre Alcidiiis i)roposd par Boucard ponr nn gronpe dCOrcotrochilus
(type 0. estellae) ne repose sur rien; il est meme a uoter que VO. estellae est
precisement le type du genre Oreotrochilus (Gould, P.Z.S. 1847, p. 9).

IV. SUR DEUX ESPfiCES DU GENRE HELIANGELUS.
Heliangelus rothschildi Boucard.

Heliangelus roUchildi (aic) Boucard, in Hummitig Bird, ii. p. 77, descr. subad. (1892. — Bogota).
Acronympha prosaritis Oberholser, in Proc. Biol. Snc. Wash., sviii. p. 162, descr. ]"uv. (1905. —
Bogota).

No. 1. Musee de Paris, Collection Boucard — oisean en peau, preparation de Bogota,
presque adulte, type de //. rothschildi Boncard.

Dessns du corps eutifiremeut d'uii violet-rougeatre fonce, un peu pins sombre
sur le front, qui parait noir vn d'avaut en arriere ; convertures alaires, pctites et
moyennes, violet-rougeatre comme le dos, les jjIus grandes nn peu plus pales
et brundtres vers la base. Remiges brun-ponrpr^. Rectrices en-dessns violet-
rougeatre comme le dos, en dessons (snrtout les laterales) d'un violet plus bleu,
de chaque cute les deux e.xternes tres fiuemeut bordees de fauve-blanchatre
a I'extremite (apparemment nn caractere de jenne). Region anriculaire et cotes
dn con violet comme le dos, avec quelques petites tacbes vert fonc6. Lores,
Jones et region sous-oculaire noiratres, avec la base des plumes blancbatre, et
de chaque cote une petite tache blanche postoculaire. Dessons du corps uoiratre
fuligiiieux ; menton et gorge ornes d'une plaque de plumes squamiformes d'un
jaune dor6 tres brillant ii reflets rougeatres ; poitrine gris-blanchatre, parsem^e
de plumes foncees ; plumes des flancs teintees de violet-rougeatre a I'extremitd
et finement bordees de vert bronz6 (cette coloration est ^videmmeut celle d'un
jeune, et il est possible que I'adnlte soit, en-dessons comme en-dessns, d'un beau
violet, sauf la plaque luminense de la gorge) ; a la base de I'abdomen, de chaque
c6t4, une tonffe de plumes duveteuses, noires k la partie basale, blanches k
I'extremitt^. Sous-candales blanchatres, legerement teintees de fanve k la base,
les plus longues marquees d'uue ligue mediane brunatre. Convertures inferieuros
des ailes violettes, liserees de fauve-roussatre au bord externe. Bee noir. (Aile 66 ;
rectrices laterales 43J, medianes 36; bee 14^ mm.)

Cette description est prise sur le type dans la collection Boucard, an Muse'um
de Paris ; c'est un oiseau presque adnlte, originaire de Colombie, comme I'indique
sou mode de pre'paration (oisean de Bogota).

M. Oberholser, qui a tout recemment redecrit l'espece sous le nom
dHAeromjmpka prosantis, a propose d'en faire le type d'un genre special, ce qui
ne nous parait pas justifi6 ; les caractferes de 1' H. rothschildi sont ceux des
Heliangelus typiques.

Ma]gr6 I'assertion de I'anteur, la description de YAeronympha prosantis
g'appliqne ii un jeune, comme I'indiquent notammeat les passages suivants ;

( 6 )

" Upper back, scapulars, ami siiles of neck deep bottle-jrreeu, merging gradually
into the deep reddish violet of lower back, rump, and iijiijer tail-cuverts ; . . .
rest of cheeks dull metallic parrot-green with narrow edgings of tawny; a rather
broad streak of tawny ocliraceous from the rictus to opposite the middle of the
eye below the infraorbital stripe; remainder of lower parts metallic parrot -green,
the feathers of the medial portions and esjiecially of all the lower abdomen edged
with tawny."

Heliangelus henrici Boucard = H. strophianus Gould.

Heliangelus henrici Boucard, in Humming Bird, i. p. 2() (1801. — Ecuador).

Mns^e de Paris, Collection Boucard, S ad. etiij. : " Heliaiiffclus henrici Boucard, S.
Aeqnator, type of species, Humm. B. i. p. 26." (Aile 64 ; queue 42 ; bee
15J mm.)

H. henrici n'est point synonyme de //. laficlavins Salv. ; le type de cette
prStendue espece n'est autre qu'nn //. strophianus, dont les rectrices m^dianes,
teintees de vert bronzS, ressemblent ri celles de H. clarissae, ce qui parait assez
frequent chez //. strophianus, car sur neuf individns de la collection Simon,
deux oiFrent cette particularity, et d'autres out ces memes rectrices teintees de
bronz(^ k la base. //. henrici ne pent done etre maintenu, meme comme
sous-esptjce.

II n'en est pas de mfime de H. laticlavius Salv.,* qui est nne espfece beaucoup
plus nette que la description de Salvin ne ponrrait le faire snpposer et beauconp
plus voisiue de H. amefhi/itico/lis que de B. clarissae. II differe de cette derniere
esp6ce par le dcssous du corjis bronze, nnliemeut d'un vert brillant an dela de
la ceintnre blanche pectorale, I'abdomen au milieu d'un fauve pale, les sous-caudales
longuement frangees de blanc a disques allonges gris-noir:itre, la plaque lumineuse
du front, beauconp plus developp^e, atteignant presque en arri6re le niveau des
yeu,x. Tons ces caractferes le rapprochent de //. amethi/sticollis ; il en diff^re
cependaut par la bande pectorale blanche, I'abdomen d'un fauve plus pale rappelant
celui de //. spencei, la plaque frontale, d'un vert-bleu brillant, paraissant bleue sons
certaines incidences (an lieu de vert dor^) et le bee plus court.

D'un autre cot^ la bande blanche pectorale ne nons a pas paru sensiblement
plus large qne celle de //. clarissae.

V. SUR LES THALVRANIA DE LA SECTION AUG ASM A.

Les oisean.x dont il sera question dans cette note doivent a uotre avis former
une section dans le genre Thalurania ; ils ne diflereut des formes typiques de ce
genre que par leur mandibule inferieure jaune pale au moins a la base, encore
n'est-il pas certain que ce caractere soit commun aux deux sexes, les femelles
n'dtant pas siirement connues.

lis ont pour la plupart et6 classes differemment par les auteurs :
L'esp6ce la pins anciennement connue, le Trochilus bicolor Gmelin, a cependant
6t4 rapport^e au genre Thalurania, sauf par Boucard, qni a propose d'en faire le

type d'uu genre Gmelinitis et par E. Simon, ({W. I'a rapport^e an genre Timolia
Mnlsant.

Le T. lerchi, d'abord decrit comme Thalurania par Mulsant et Verreanx, est
ensnite devenu le type dn genre Timolia de Mulsant; la meme esp6ce a 6t(5 tout
recemment red^crite par E. Hartert sons le nom d'Affi/rfria tenebrosa.

Le T. smaragdinea Gld. est le type dn genre Augasma de Gonld, anquel son
antenr a promptement renonce, rapportant I'cspece an genre Euceplfjla ; plusienrs
auteurs ont era reconnaitre a tort dans cette espece le T. lerchi Muls. et Verr.

Le T. {Hi/locharis) chlorocephala Bonrcier a 6te placfi par Gould, puis par
Elliot et Salvin, dans le genre Euaephala, pins r(5cemment par E. Simon, puis par
E. Hartert dans le genre Saucerottea, egalement a tort.

Les T. scapulata et caertileo-lacata Gonld sont d^crits comme des Eucepkala
par Gonld, Elliot et Salvin, report^s depuis an genre Thalurania par E. Simon,
puis par E. Hartert.

Le T. chlorophana E. Simon a etS decrit comme Thalurania.

A part le T. bicolor, qui est assez commun k I'lle de la Dominique, tons
ces oiseaus paraissent fort rares, ce qui augmente la difficnlte de lenr 6tnde.

Les T. chlorocephala Bonrcier, caeruleo-lacata et scapulata Gonld sont encore
uniques dans les collections du Mnsee britannique ; le T. chlorophana E. S., unique
dans la collection Simon.

Le 2\ lerchi Muls. n'est couun que par trois individus : le type de I'espece
an Mns^e de New- York, le type de VAgijrtria tenebrosa dans la collection
W. Rothschild a Tring ; le troisifeme dans la collection de M. E. Gonnelle
a Paris.

Le T. smaragdinea Gould est repriisente par deux males an Mnsee britannique
(Salvin en indique trois, mais la femelle [c] est uu Chlorostilbon puchcrani), deux
dans la collection E. Simon, et nn jeune dans la collection du Cte. v. Berlepsch.

Les femelles n'6tant sArement connnes pour aucnne de ces especes, le tableau
suivant ne s'appliquera qu'anx males : —

Grace a I'obligeance de M. Allen, I'un de nous a pu Studier le type de
T. lerchi et s'assurer de son identity specifique avec I'oiseau d^crit recemment
par M. Hartert sous le nom d! Agyrtria tenebrosa. Les quelques tr6s legeres
differences que nous avons not^es entre les deux oiseaux tieunent sans doute
a I'age.

Le type du lerchi, plus adulte sans I'etre complfetement, a le menton bleu
brillant, celui du tenebrosa est garni de plumes blanches avec de petites taches
apicales vert pur; I'uropygium du lerchi est vert-bleuatre, comme le dos, vert
dore sans'teinte bleuatre dans le tenebrosa; les supra-candales du lerchi sont un
pen plus rouges vers I'extremitS, ses sous-caudales sont vert olivtitre, tandis que
celles de tenebrosa sont vert bronzfi plus mat, bien que quelques-nues des plus
courtes offrent la meme teinte dans les deux individus. Le lerchi pr^sente
une petite tache bleue au bord posterieur de la region parotique, qui manque au
tenebrosa. Comme nous I'avons dit, ces deux specimens ne sont pas tout k fait
adultes, comme le pronve la presence de quelques plumes vert-bleuatre au milieu
de la plaque bleu brillant du front.

Bien que les descriptions d'Elliot et de Mulsant aient ete faitcs sur le meme
oiseau (celui que nous avons sous les yeux), on pent y relever des contradictions,
notamment en ce qui concerne la coloration du dos et des sous-caudales.

D'apr^s Mulsant le dessns et le dessons du corps seraient d'un vert-bleuatre,
ce qui n'est exact que pour le dessus, et les sous-caudales d'un vert luisant.
D'aprSs Elliot le corps serait d'un vert-pre plus fonce en dessus et les sous-caudales
d'un vert-olive, ce qui est plus conforme a la verite.

Les dimensions donndes par Elliot sont exactes ; celles donndes par Mulsant
sont beaucoup trop faibles, sauf pour le bee,

VI. SUR LES EUCEPHALA HYPOCYANEA Gould, PYROPYGIA
Salvin ET SUBCAERVLEA Elliot.

Ces trois especes, qui out 6te decrites sous le nom g(^ni^rique A'Eiicepkala, se
rattachent a deux genres : E. hypocyanea Gould et subcaerulea Elliot sout des
Chlorestes, assez voisins de C. caeruleus (Vieillot), mais E. pyropygia Salvin
n'est pas synonyme du premier, comme un examen trop hatif avait pu le faire
croire & Simon et Hartert.

Malgre sa tr6s frappante ressemblance avec les especes prec6dentes, E. pyropygia
est un Ilylockaris, qui doit prendre place dans le voisinage de H. cyanus (Vieillot) ; *
ce qui a contribni k cette erreur est que I'iudiyidu type de la collection Salvin-
Godman (un male presque adulte, acquis de ^Vllitely) a le bee refoit : sa mandibule
inferieure, examinee a la loupe, moutre des traces de peiuture noire, la sup(5rienre
a probablement dt6 habilement remplac^e par celle d'un autre oiseau; en r^alitS
le bee de E. pyropygia est rouge et spougieux comme celni des Hylocharis ; sous
ce rapport I'individu de la collection Simon est bien caract(5ris6.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE BIRDS COLLECTED BY MONS. G. A.
BAER IN THE STATE OF GOYAZ, BRAZIL.

Br C. E. HELLMAYR.

THE state of Go}'<az is one of the least-known districts of the vast Brazilian
territory, and ver}' few zoological collections have as yet been made in
this interesting region. It was first visited, I believe, by Mons. Anguste de Saint-
Hilaire. His collections went to Paris, bat, with the exception of a few species
described in Temminck's " Recneil de Planches Coloriees," and in Lesson's
" Traits d'OrnithoIogie," nothing has been published upon the ornithological
results of his exertions. The celebrated naturalist J. Natterer traversed the
" capitany " of Goyaz from its southern frontier (Rio Paranahyba) to the city
of (joyaz, and then continued his way through the western parts of the state
to Mattogrosso. The birds obtained on this occasion are duly enumerated b}'
Pelzeln in his well-known work : " Zur Ornithologie Brasiliens." The expedition
of Count Castelnan and Mons. Deville, in 1844 and 1845, spent some time in
the vicinity of Goyaz, at Bomfim, Amaro Leite, Catalao, as well as on the banks
of the Rio Maranhiio (Espirito Santo do Peixe) and R. Tocantius (Porto Imperial).
The collection thus gained, numbering several hundred specimens, was deposited
in the Paris Museum, but only a few species were mentioned in the ornithological
portion of the " Voyage dans I'Amdrique du Sud." Professor Behn, of Kiel,
traversed the state of Goyaz from west to east, and seems to have secured a
considerable series of birds which, however, have never been properly studied.
Dr. Sclater described a new Jacamar, Brachjgalba melanosterna* and Berlepsch
and Leverkiihn in their joint paper f discussed some of the rarer species in
Prof. Behn's collection, then belonging to the Kiel Museum. A few species
are recorded from Catalao, south-eastern Goyaz, by Prof. Reinhardt in his
" Bidrag till Kundskab om Puglefanuaen i Brasiliens Camijos." J ( 'ouut Berlepsch
possesses a number of skins obtained by Prof. Von den Steinen and Dr. Ehrenreich
near Leopoldina, Rio Araguaya, and received in exchange from the Berlin
Museum, where the bulk of the collection is preserved. It shared, however,
the fate of Behn's, St. Hilaire's, and Gastelnan's treasures, and was never
reported upon.

Mons. Baer has given an account of his travels in the " Bulletin du Museum
d'Histoire Naturelle " of Paris, vol. xiii. 19UT. pp. 288-95. The following notes
about the localities visited will be of interest as showing the nature of the country,
and may be of use to some future explorer. Mons. Baer writes :

" Tons mes oiseaux sont de I'dtat de Goyaz, k I'exception des Nos. 2440 h 2442
obtenus ;i Agua Suja (Miuas Geraes) — Conurtis leucophthalmus, Nothura maculosa

" Une (larticnlarite qui lu'a frappd c'est le petit iiombre il'especes d'oiseaux
mouches (Trochilidae) et de Tiuamides ; I'dtat de Minas Geraes est beaucoup plus
riche, ce que je crois devoir attvibuer ii ce que ce dernier pays est bien plus accidents

quelque sorte les vagues d'uue mer, les montagnes, qui n'atteiguent jamais nuc

kilometres, au nord-onest de Goyaz, juin ii aout 1906 (saison s6che), 560 m. d'alt.,
forets, region amazonienne."

The most important result of Mons. Baer's expedition is the discovery of a true
Amazonian element iu the avifauna of the Rio Araguaya. Pachysi/hia pectoralis,
Sicalis Columbiana leopoldinae, Paroaria haeri, Knipolegus orenocensis, Elaenia y.
gaimardii, Myiozetetes c. cayanensis, Furnarius Jiguliis pileatus, Synallaxis simoni,
Siptornis v. ■oulpina, Thamnopkilus doliattis difficilis, Myrmelnstes luctuosiis
araguayae, Chelidoptera t. tenebrosa, etc., are either widely distributed in Amazonia,
or nearly related to Amazonian species.

Ou the other hand, the fauna of Southern Goyaz as represented by specimens
from the environs of the capital and from the Fazenda Esperanpa resembles
closely that of South-eastern Brazil (Minas, Uio), yet at the same time there
are several characteristic Mattogrosso forms — for instance Tod i rest rum cinerenm
coloreum, Phyllomyias brevirostris virescens, Antilophia galeata, Dendrornis
guttata dorbignyana, Thamnopkilus ambiguus sticturus, Dysithumnus affinis affinis,
Uerpsilochmus longirostris, Ckrysoptilus nattereri, etc. It is well known that
in the state of Bahia, or at any rate iu that district where the so-called Bahia
skins come from, we often find forms more or less ditfereut from their allies
inhabiting the neighbouring provinces, Espiritu Santo, Minas and Uio de Janeiro.
Some of these peculiar Bahia races we meet again iu Goyaz, though, in most
cases, it is the South Brazilian form that extends its range so far to the north-west.

For several species the watershed south of the capital of Goyaz forms
the boundary of their ranges. This is especially illustrated by the distribution
of Thalurania e. eripkile and T. e. baeri. While the latter lives near Goyaz

• Araijuaya sigDitie en lacgue indienne tupi-guarany : riviere dis araa.

( 15 )

and on the banks of the Rio Araguaya, the typical race is fonud, south of the
monntain-range, on the Rio Verissimo and in the valley of the Rio Parana.

Altogether, Mons. Baer obtained upwards of 800 skins, rc'i)resentiug 200
species. Before proceeding to the detailed account I wish to tender ray sincere
thanks to Mr. Rothschild for having entrusted me with the study of tiiis interesting
collection.

In addition to the above specimens, I have examined two others from Catalfio
(in the south-eastern corner of the state of Goyaz) collected in ls4G by Castelnaii
and Deville, and belonging to the Paris Museum. The six birds which agree in
coloration and si/.e with a series from Mattogrosso (3 Chapada, 1 Cuyaba, 1
Miranda) are rather pale, greyish brown on the upper parts. Typical skins from
S. Panlo (Victoria, Ypanema, etc.), and two adult females from the Rio Jordfio,
prov. Araguary, Minas Geraiis, difier slightly in being soirewhat darker and browner
on the back and head, but the variation is scarcely appreciable. Specimens from
various localities measure as ibllows :

In the above specimens the whole lower surfixee (e.xcept the white throat)
is unifonii ochraceons-buff, rather deeper ochraceous on the flanks and under
tiiil-coverts, and somewhat paler, about bright bnff (Ridgw. v. 13) on the foreneck.
There is never any trace of brownish on the flanks, this colour being always more or
less pronounced in the Upper Amazoniau form as well as in 7'. a. albipecttas (Cab.).
Adnlt birds show distinct blackish longitudinal streaks on the ear-coverts, which
almost are uniform white in the two young ones (Nos. 1833, 1844).

T. a. r II fi cent lis differs from the form inhabiting the Upper Amazonian district
(cf. Xor. Zool. xiv. 1907, p. 3, form e) in its greater dimensions, especially longer tail,
decidedly longer and stronger bill, purer ochraceous nnder-parts without any
brownish snff'nsion on the flanks, and by its somewhat paler upper surface ;
from T. a. albipectus it may be distinguished by its longer bill, more uniform
nuder-parts, etc., and from 7'. a. i/alhraitlii (Lawr.), of Panama and Santa
Marta, by its much longer tail and conspicuously streaked ear-coverts.

In W'estern Mattogrosso and Eastern Bolivia T. a. rujicentris is replaced by
T. a. M/'iicn- (Pelz.), which differs only by its much smaller size and shorter,
weaker l)ill. In coloration the two forms are absolutely alike.

(Lower Rio Madeira) by its considerably paler coloration, the top of the head and
nape being dull earthy brown (instead of deep sooty), and the back clear cinnamon-
rufous (instead of chestnut-rufous). The under parts are also generally lighter,
especially the sides of the belly of a paler buffy brown. The bill is weaker and
slenderer.

obtained by Natterer in Goyaz and Mattogrosso. They measure as follows :

Skins from Goyaz, Tenente Borges and Cnyabd are practically identical with
the type of T. g. intercedens, while the two i t? from Western Mattogrosso (Villa
Bella and Engeuho do Gama) are much brighter, more ocliraceons on the breast
and abdomen. They may represent yet another form, but in any case they are
different from T. g. juruanus Ih., which is much darker on the back, chestnnt-
rafous like the typical race. For the present, I am able to distinguish three
forms with black malar stripe :

{a) T. genibarbis genibarbis Sws. Eastern Brazil from Bahia to Para, and
west to Borba, on the east bank of the lower Rio Madeira.

{b) T. genibarbis juruanus Ihering. N.W. Brazil : Rio Jurmi (Garbe) ;
Hnmaytha, left bank of the Rio Madeira (Hoffmanns). Cf. Nov. Zool. xiv.

No. 1690. ? juv., Faz. Esperanra, December 1905.

The series agrees perfectly with specimens from Rio de Janeiro, S. Paulo,
Minas Geraes, Santa Catharina, and Paraguay — viz. the form separated as T. triedi
by Count Berlepsch. 1 have, however, ascertained by examination of the types
in the Paris Museum that T. guarixa of Pucheran is likewise referable to this
race. The name was based on a specimen sent by Delalande fils from the
environs of Rio de Janeiro, and another obtained by A. Saint-Hilaire in Southern
Brazil (State of S. Paulo or Parana). Both are still in the French national
collection.

T. in. musculus, which is known to me only from Baliia, is ranch richer,
more ochraceous on the lower parts, especially tlie flanks and under tail-coverts
being deep tawny. T. m. guarixa has the under-surface salmon-colour, more
ochraceous on flanks and crissum. An adult female (No. 2014) from Goyaz
is much paler beneath than all the others, nearly whitish on throat and breast,
and scarcely different from T. m. clarus Berl. & Hart, of Guiana and Amazonia.

It seems extremely doubtful whether the descriptiou of Si/lma cucicllata really
refers to the present species, no mention being made of the cinereous colour of the
crown.

7. Basileuterus flaveolus (Baird).

No. 2285. ? ad., Rio Araguaya, 550 metr., July 1906.— Wing 62; tail 62; bill
12i mm.

This bird agrees perfectly with several Bahia skins. An adult male from
Maranhao, N.E. Brazil (taken September 9, 1905, by F. Schwanda), iu the Museum
of H.R.H. the Prince of Bulgaria at Sophia, and au adult bird (not sexed) obtained
by Mocquerys on Mount Bncarito, state of Tocuyo, Venezuela, in the Tring
collection, are not different either. Tlie latter specimen extends the range of
the species, which was hitherto only known from Paraguay and the interior of
Brazil, far to the north.

I may also mention in this connection that the so-called female of Muscicapa
bivittata Lafr. & D'Orb.,* on examination, proves to be an example of the present
species. It is a skin in good condition, labelled: "No. 150. D'Orbigay, 1834,
Chiquitos. D. No. 352," and agrees in every way with several specimens from
Bahia collections.

The range of B. flaveolus thus far known is as follows :

Paraguay (Capt. Page — type No. 16,33-t, ?, June 1859, in coll. U.S. National
Museum, Washington) ; Brazil : Bahia (many skins in Mus. H. v. Berlepsch, Tring,
etc.); Goiaz (Natterer), Rio Araguaya (Baer), Villa Bella de Mattogrosso (Natterer);
Rio das Pedras and Porto do Rio Parantl, North S. Paulo (Natterer) ; (Jhapada,

This bird differs from others from S. Paulo (Victoria) and Minas Geraes (Rio
Jordao) in having the breast and abdomen slightly flammnlated with pale yellowish,
and the sides more washed with brownish yellow. Both these divergencies are
apparently signs of immaturity. Cf Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. N. Y. iii. 1891, p. 344.

Hyhplulus pectoralis Sclater, P.Z.S. 1866. p. 321 [" in Brasil. merid. prov. Mattogrosso (et Rio de

Amazonas).

No. 2194. S ad., Rio Aragimya, July 19u0.— Wing SoJ ; tail 48 ; bill 13 mm.

Agrees well with two examples from Mattogrosso (including the type), but has
the chest of a rather deeper yellow and the upper mandible slightly darker. In
the pure cinereous colour on the top and sides of the head the three specimens
are practically identical.

Both Dr. Gadow * and Dr. Sclater f regarded this species as the southern
representative of " F. thoracica" which was supposed to be a native of Lower
Amazonia, Guiana, and Colombia. Messrs. Berlepsch and Hartert % have, how-
ever, shown that P. pectoralis is a perfectly distinct species widely distributed
all over the great Amazonian subregion from Gniana to the southern tributaries
of the Amazons, and that the true P. thoracica of South-east Brazil was not known
to either of the above-named authors. Having examined the series in the British,
Tring, Berlepsch, and Vienna Museums, I think it useful to give a short rtmmi
of the characters and the distribution of the four forms of this group which I
am able to recognise. First of all, it must be borne in mind that P. pectoralis is
evidently specifically distinct, as in some districts it occnrs together with a repre-
sentative of P. thoracica — e.g. in British Guiana with P. t. griseiventris,

These birds are practically identical with a very large series of skins from
Bahia and Ceara. Two adult (?<? obtained by Natterer near the city of Goiaz
and on the Rio Parana; an adnlt bird collected by Castelnan and Deville at
Porto Imperial, on the Rio Tocantins ; seven specimens (of both sexes) from
Chapada, Mattogrosso, taken by H. H. Smith ; and two examples secured by
U'Orbigny in the plains of Chiquitos, Eastern Bolivia, agree likewise in every
jiarticnlar with typical C. cearcnsis. All these specimens have a very distinct
plumbeous spot at the base of the lower mandible, even young birds, in fluffy
plumage and with pointed tail-feathers.

Dr. Allen * referred the Mattogrosso specimens to C. liridis (type ex Paragnay)
to which he also unites C. wiedii Pelz. with uniform reddish brown bill. While
admitting that there are scarcely any constant colour-differences between true
C. tiridis (of Paragnay, Western Argentina, and High Bolivia) and the form inhabiting
the campos of Brazil and the plains of Eastern Bolivia, I find that the latter are
constantly much smaller, and have a much weaker, slenderer bill. As a rule the
back is brighter, more yellowish green, and the yellow on the foreneck clearer
and somewhat more extended. Measurements of a large number of skins of both
forms are given below.

From C. g. gujanensis,\ of Amazonia and Guiana, C. g. cearensis differs by
having the belly creamy-white or buff (without any greyish " cast ") ; the foreneck
and sides of the chest of a purer and clearer yellow (not tinged with greenish),
the cap always more or less washed with brownish ; and by its stouter, higher
bill with the plumbeous area of the lower mandible less extended.

Cf. also Berlepsch, Ibis, 1888. p. 87.

Specimens from Maranhao, N.E. Brazil, are intermediate between C. g. gujanensis
and C. g. cearensis. Having seen but two skins, I cannot say to which of the two
forms they are more nearly related.

[C. iviedii Pelz., considered by Dr. Allen to be the "young of the year"
of his C. tiridis {^cearensis), is evidently specifically distinct and more nearly
allied to C. ochrocepkala, of which it is the northern form. I hope to discuss
this intricate question on another occasion.]

♦ The specimen from Corrientes which I examinrrl in the Paris Museum belongs to C. oohrKcephala Tsch,

( 25 )

N.B. — The specimens from the Bt)lLviaii Andes agree in every respect with
those from Paraguay and Argentina. It will be remembered that the birds
obtained by D'Orbigny iu the plains of Chiqnitos, near the Brazilian frontier,
belong to the smaller, eastern form, C. g. cearensis. (Cf. supra, p. 23.)

N.B.— I have examined the specimen (i) of S. uropygialis, said to be from
Bahia, t in the British Mnsenm. It really belongs to S. r. aequalis, and certainly
never came from Bahia, being of tlie nnmistakable make of the skins that are
sent to Europe from Northern Colombia (Carthagena, Baranqailla, etc.).

The adnlt males agree with others from S. Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Miuas
Geraes, and have like those from Cayenne and Venezuela (which we may consider
as typical) the throat extensively deep black, and the general colour is the same
shade of blue. Brazilian birds, however, are as a rule rather larger than those from
more northern localities, though this is not quite constant.

Skins from Pern, Bolivia and Mattogrosso (Chapada) differ at a glance by
having the throat-patch smaller and much duller, more greenish black. This
is I>. cat/ana glaucogidaris Berl. & Stolzm. Some of the Chapada birds slightly
point towards D. c. cayana.

These birds, as well as two adult males obtained by Natterer, which I have
likewise before me, agree perfectly with a series from Bahia as far as coloration
is concerned, but average slightly larger.

E. chlorotica, with its geographic forms, is involved in great confusion, and
requires careful revision ; but 1 have neither time nor suificient material to enter
into the question.

The adnit males agree exactly with a description in my note-book taken
from the type-specimen in Count Berlepsch's collection. Moreover, the latter was
obtained not far from Goyaz on the Rio Araguay, in the vicinity of the village
Leopoldina.

Having studied a very large series of the C._fiava group, I think it nsefnl to
give a short n'sumi; of the results arrived at. Besides the material in Tring, I
had before me all the specimens of the Vienna and Munich Museums, and have
also examined a few interesting e.^amples in the British Museum collection. The
following forms appear to be recognisable :

(a) C. Jlavajiava (Gm.).

Hah. Eastern Brazil from Bahia to Pernambuco (Forbes, Robert).

S ad. All the top of the head (from the base of the bill to the nape) is
uniform golden buff, scarcely darker than the back. On the rump there are
sometimes a very few narrow streaks of silvery-greenish to be seen.

? ad. Top of the head dull ochraceous yellow.

<S ad. Differs from C. f. Jinmi in its larger size, slightly stouter bill, duller
ochraceous sides of the body, less golden back, and especially by having the
forehead more or less tinged with ochraceous, this colour forming an indistinct
frontal band.

? ad. In coloration fully like C.f../iava, but with longer wings and tail.

N.B.— The type of T. chloroptera was obtained in 1818 by Mods. A. Saint-
Hilaire in South-eastern Brazil : S. Paulo or Parana. Though somewhat faded
through exposure to light, it belongs undoubtedly to the present form. Count
Berlepsch • says that a specimen from Sapucay, Paraguay, in the British Museum,

* Omis xiv. p. 348.

( as )

concords with C ma>-ga>itae from Mattogrosso. This ranst be a mistake, for I
carefnlly compared the specimen in question, and fonnd it perfect!)' agreeing with
skins from S. Paulo — i.e. C. /. chloroptera. It has the back of the same golden
buff colour as the latter, and there is just a faint ocliraceous tinge across the
forehead only to be seen when viewed from in front. A similar example from
Victoria, S. Panlo, is in the Tring Museum.

(e) C. flata sincipitalis Berl.

silvery-greenish, and the forehead (as far as the posterior border of the eye)
decidedly darker, ochraceons-rufous, this colour shading into ochraceous ou the
vertex, and into golden buff on the nape.

mixed with silvery-greenish, and the forehead as well as the vertex bright
ochraceons-rufous [the upper surface of the body being coloured as in C. cayana
(Linn.)].

So far as coloration is concerned, the adult males are identical with the types
from Central Peru, which, however, have rather shorter wings and tail.

Birds from S. Leopoldina, Aragnaya, are more washed with crimson on the
abdomen, and seem to be nearer or even referable to li. c. carho. I hope to discaas
the geographic variation of R. carbo on an early occasion.

The adult bird is practically identical with others from Mattogrosso (P. Feia,
Chapada, Guyaba) and S. Paulo, the throat being deep cinnamon-rufous. Two
examples from Chiiiuitos, Eastern Bolivia, obtained by D"Orbigny, in the Paris
Museum, do not differ either.

The young bird (No. 1700) has the breast and abdomen much more tinged with
buff than the adult, the throat is considerably ligliter, about " ochraceous-buff "
(Ridgw. V. 10), and there is a distinct, though narrow, ochraceous line above the
lores and eye.

The adult male collected by Mous. Baer and two others in the Vienna Mnseum,
obtained by Natterer near the city of Goyaz, agree perfectly with a series from
the Rio Parang (Natterer), Kio Paranapanema(Hempel), and Piauhy (Wachsmnnd).
Specimens from Bahia seem to be rather smaller, but a larger series should be
examined.

iV. i/uira is divisible in several more or less well-defined geographic forms.

In this specimen only the middle of the throat and foreneck are bright
scarlet, while in a Bahia skin the chest is also of this colour.

L. loricatt/g is a scarce species, and its range still very imperfectly known.
So far as I know, it is now for the first time recorded from Goyaz. Spix *
obtained it between Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, Wied f says that it is rather
common in the sertfio of the interior of the state of Bahia near Ressaque, on the
confines of the Uampos Geraes. It is not unfreqnently met with in the trade
collections shipped from Bahia.

They agree best with specimens from Para (cf. Nov. Zool. xiii. 1906. p. 358),
while others from Cayenne and British Gniana have the black jngnlar band rather
broader. A series of adult males from Bahia, however, does not materially ditfer
from northern examples except that the cinereous colour on the belly is generally
more extended.

I am unable to find any constant differences between specimens from Bahia
(including the type of -S'. s. pallid i cent ris Berljj.), and those from Goyaz (Baer,
Natterer, V. deu Steineu, Custelnau et Deville), (Juyaba (Behn), and Minas Geraes
(Campanha). Skins from Parand (Caritiba), Santa Cathariua, and Rio Grande do
Sul are much darker, deep fnlvous on the belly, as pointed out by Connt Berlepsch
{I.e.). The type of S. simil/'s from Corrieutes, however, proved to be indis-
tinguishable from Bahia and Goyaz examples — hence -S'. «. pallidiventris becomes
a synonym of similis, while the dark-bellied race from South-eastern Brazil would
require a new name. Specimens from Rio de Janeiro and S. Paulo are variously
intermediate between the two forms, some being nearer the northern race, others
being very nearly as dark as examples from Rio Grande do Sul.

Although I have examined thirty-sis specimens, this material was not sufficient
to exactly define the range of the two or three geographic forms.

This series agrees exactly with several topotypical specimens from Paraguay
(Bernalcue, near Asuncion). Freshly moulted birds are warm chocolate-brown on
the back, and the lower parts show a strong ochraceous tinge. In worn plumage
the upper surface is dull greyish brown, especially rump and upper tail-coverts,
while the breast and the middle of the abdomen appear nearly white, the flanks and
under tail-covevts alone being pale ochraceous.

In immature birds the throat is duller black and mixed with brownish, the bill
nearly uniform blackish.

Mr. Martyn that " this bird is only to be got on the coast of Angola, in Africa . . ." At that time there
was a regular traffic between the west coast of Africi and Brazil (then a Portuguese colony), and it is
probable that C.ci/ama, like several other species (f.i. Oryznioru.i o«^(>?f«sts), was imported from some of
the principal ports in Eastern Brazil — Bahia or Rio dc Janeiro.

Besides the.se sjiecimens, I have examined an adnlt male from Rio de Janeiro in
Count Berlepsch's collection, and another from (!ayaba, Mattogrosso,* obtained by
Natterer, in the Vienna Mnsenm.

0. c. maximiliaiii is a very close ally of 0. c. crassirostris (6m.), and takes
its place in Southern Brazil. The males differ from those of the typical race by
averaging larger, and by having the axillaries and under wing-coverts broadly
edged with black. Specimens of 0. c. crassirostris from Cayenne, Surinam and
British Guiana (Aunai) have a mnch smaller bill, as well as shorter wings and
tail. Those from Trinidad (Seelet) and the Orinoco valley, however, are scarcely
smaller than 0. c. ma.rimiliani, and the bill is quite as large and stont as in the
latter. Two adult (SS from the upper Rio Negro (Lamalonga, Marabitanas) have
the strong bill of the Orinoco and Trinidad birds, but in size they agree with the
Guianan ones. The female of 0. c. maxiiniliaiii differs from 0. c. crassirostris by
its ratlier darker and less rnfescent upper parts, and by having the axillaries and
under wing-coverts more buff (less whitish).

0. c. maximiliani is rather scarce in collections, and its range very imperfectly
known. Prince Wied met with it on the Rio Espiritn Santo, and near Vifoza and
Caravcllas in the south-eastern portion of the state of Bahia. Natterer obtained an
adult male at Cuyaba, Mattogrosso, and Dr. Allen f records three specimens,
obtained by Mr. H. H. Smith near Chapada, in the same province. Count
Berlepsch possesses, as mentioned above, an adnlt male from Rio de Janeiro, whence
there are also two skins in the British Museum.

Adult female. — Upper parts black with a strong gloss of metallic blue ; the
feathers of the forehead and anterior portion of the crown with dark carmine-
red tips which form a large frontal patcli, ending in a line with the posterior
border of the eye. Lores, sides of the head and neck bhick, glossed with metallic
blue like the back. Cheeks and throat cariuine-red, the extreme bases of the
feathers being black ; feathers of the foreneck glossy black, each with a minute
carmine-red spot at the very tip. Rest of the under-surface pure white, the
sides of the breast indistinctly barred with bhick. Thighs black with white tips.
Lesser upper wing-coverts metallic bluish black, rather duller towards the
base ; remaining wing-coverts, quills and rectrices dull black, slightly glossed
with oily greenish along the outer web. Axillaries and under wiug-coverts
white. Bill black, basal half of lower mandible dull reddish ; feet black.

The male (No. 2212) agrees with the type except in being smaller and in
having the under wing-coverts variegated with black. Some of the feathers on
the foreneck show pale bniiy-brownish edges, a sign of immaturity.

No. 2375 is a young bird with the throat and foreneck deep buff-yellow, and
without any red or black in the plumage. It differs from tlie young of P. g.
gularis (Linn.) and P. g. cervicalis Scl. by its much darker, fuliginous (instead of
pale brown) back, and by having the sides of the head dark smoky brown (not
brownish bufl'). The bill, too, is decidedly stronger.

P. baeri is nearly allied to, but quite distinct from, P. <j. gnlnris (Linn.), from
which it may be distinguished by the following characters : The red of the forehead
and throat is much deeper, carmine-red (instead of " poppy-red," Ridgw. vii. 9); the
feathers of the forehead and anterior portion of the vertex are only tipped with
red, the bases being black, while in P. g. gularis all the top of the head (from the
forehead to the nape) is uniform clear poppy-red, there being no blackish bases
to the feathers ; lores and sides of the head metallic liluish black (not poppy-
red as in P. g. gularis), sides of the neck bluish black like the back (not
white as in P. g. gularis) ; occiput, back and wings much more glossy ; sides of
the breast and abdomen with subterminal cross-bars of blackish, entirely absent
in the Guianan species. Another very striking difference consists in the shape
of the feathers of the foreneck. In P. g. gularis these feathers are elongated,
somewhat pointed and black, with the concealed bases dull reddish ; in P. baeri
they are much shorter, rounded and dull black, each with a minute glossy spot
of carmine-red at the extreme tip. The bill of P. baeri is decidedly stronger and
stouter, and the lower mandible dull reddish (not clear yellowish white as in
P. g. gularis) with the tip blackish.

The series agrees perfectly with several examples from northern S. Paulo :
one ? ad. from Victoria, coll. Ilempel iu the Tring Museum, and a jiair from
Porto do Rio Parana, collected by Natterer, and belonging to the Vienna Museum.
Besides these, there are among Nattcrer's specimens an adult female and a young
bird from Cuyaba, Mattogrosso, which I am unable to distinguish from our
Goyaz series. In the same locality (Cuyaba), this naturalist also obtained
four adult birds of X. pijn-hoptcrus comj/.fiis (Oberh.)* in which the shoulder-
patch is of a clear cinnamon rufous.

A', c. valencio-buenoi is an excellent form, to some extent intermediate between
A', c. car/ancnsis and X. c. tihialis Sws. With the former it agrees in having
the thighs black, and the axillaries as well as tlie uuder wing-coverts black,
narrowly edged with jialc yellow; but dill'ors at a glance by the humoral patch

• rrof. f'.'S'. ifnt. Mils. .xx\. 10112. p.C8 ((.'ii^aba, Mattogrosso),

(39)

being much darkor, dull orange-oohraceons (Ridgw. v. 3), instead of saflVon-yellow.
The bill, too, is rather smaller ami slenderer. A', c. tibialis, on the other hand,
has the thighs mostl}', and the axillaries and under wing-coverts entirely yellow,
while the shonlder-patch is either pnre yellow as in .V. c. cai/anenxiit, or orange-
ochraceons as in A', c. Kalencio-buenoi.

The range of these three forms is, according to our present knowledge,
as follows : ^

(«) X. cai/anensis cayanensis (Linn.).

Cayenne; Surinam; Amazonia: Berafica near Pars'i (Steere coll., Mns. Tring) ;

These specimens agree in size and coloration with others from S. Paulo and
Paraguay. Two females from the island of Marajo, Nortli Brazil, collected by
Professor Steere, are considerably .smaller (wing 125J — 126; tail 88, 89 mm.), and
have a rather shorter, slenderer bill. Perhaps they constitute a recognisable race.

Nos. 2321, 2322. (?c?ad., Rio Araguaya, July I9(i(5.— Wing 85, 84 ; tail TT ;
bill 17, 16J mm.

These birds agree exactly with a series of males from the Orinoco in the Tring
Museum, except that the bill is a very little narrower and slenderer. In coloration
there is not the slightest difference, the back and uuder-surface being sooty-grey
with a faint olivaceous hue, the pileum rather more blackish, etc., as in the
Orinoco series. The first primary is quite normally shaped.

This is one of the most interesting species in the present collection, and quite
an unexpected addition to the Brazilian avifauna. K. orenocensis was hitherto only
known as an inhabitant of the Orinoco valley.

61. Copurus colonus colonus (Vieill.).

Musckapa colotius Vieillot, Nouv. Did. xxi. p. 448 (1S18. — ex Azara, No. 18(1 : Paraguay).

Nos. 1885, 2048. c?c? ad., Goyaz, March, April 1906.— AViug 81, 83 ; tail 160,

No. 1804. (J ad., Faz. EsperanQa, February 1906.— Wing 84; tail 161; bill
9J mm.

The female differs from the males by its smaller size, shorter median rectrices,
and by having the cap decidedly darker, smoky greyish, contrasting with the white
frontal band.

The differences between C. c. colonus and C. c. fuscicapillus Scl. are well
pointed out by Mr. Ridgway,* but their geographical distribution is not correctly
given. C. c. colonus is confined to Paraguay and South Brazil (from Bahia, Goyaz,
and Mattogrosso southwards) ; while (7. c. fuscicapillus ranges from Colombia
(Bogota) through Eastern Ecuador to Northern and Central Peru.

This bird as well as Nattercr's series from Mattogrosso and the Rio Parana
differ from T. c. cinercum of northern South America by rather brighter lower
parts, somewhat longer white tip to the outermost rectrix, and by having the back
mainly light olive-green, contrasting with the dark slaty pileum and nape. Two
specimens from Chajjada in the British Museum are quite similar.

Tlie Goyaz specimen is practically identical with the type of S. rirescens
kindly lent by Dr. J. A. Allen for comparison.

This species is by no means a member of the genus Stihlcyatiis, but a typical
r//i/!lo/i/i/ias, to some e.Ktent intermediate between P. b. bixvirostris (Spix), of
Sonth-Eastern Brazil, and P. b. incanescens* (Wied), of Bahia.

It differs from a series of the latter form by the following details : Breast and
abdomen are brighter and more uniform yellow; the cap is decidedly paler, light
ashy (not blackish) ; the back more greenish (less greyish) ; the bill rather stouter ;
wings and tail rather longer.

From P. b. brei-irostris, on the other hand, it may be distinguished by the
much paler yellow underparts, with the throat purer and more extensively white,
and the flanks much less tinged with greenish or greyish ; the back much paler
and duller, greyish green (instead of oil- or bright olive-green) ; the cap light ashy,
more or less contrasting with the colour of the back (instead of being green like
the latter) ; the wing-bauds much paler, dirty whitish or greyisii wliite, the edges
to the quills whitish or yellowish white (instead of bright olive-yellow).

Pr. Allen first pointed out (J.c.) that //. cinerascens of Wied was a typical

(44)

Ornithion, aud sj'nonymised it with M. obsokta Temm. On examiuiiig a very large
series of skins from varions localities iu Soutliera and Eastern Brazil, I find,
however, that those from Espiritn Santo, Bahia, Gojaz, and Mattogrosso differ
from trne 0. o. obsoletum, of southern Minas Geraes (Oongonhas), S. Paulo and
Parana in decidedly smaller size and slightly paler coloration, especially of the
upper i)arts. Two t()potyi)ical specimens from the llio Espiritn Santo, for the
loan of which I am greatly indebted to Professor H. v. Ihering, of S. Paulo, fit
admirably several freshly moulted birds from Bahia; hence cinerascfns becomes
the proper subspecific appellation of the pale, short-winged northern race.

It may be mentioned that the original specimen from Congonhas, upon
which Burmeister based the description of his Elaenea miirina,* and which was
kindly submitted to my inspection by Professor Taschenberg, of the Halle Museum,
is referable to typical 0. o. obsoletum, agreeing in every way with skins from
S. Paulo and Parana. This had already been stated by Count Berlepsch.t The
range of the two forms is accordingly as follows :

Althongh synonymised with E. albiceps by Dr. Sclater.f this species is a very
distinct one, being easily recognisable among its congeners by its full, dense,
brownish crest without any white at the base, and by its rather short, rounded
wings. In general coloration it most resembles E. payana. Of. also Beidepsch,
Omis xiv. 1907, pp. 398-9.

Besides the above specimens I have examined Natterer's typical series in the
Vienna Museum, an adnlt female from Lavrinhas (obtained by Prof. Behn and
actually in the Berlin Museum), and some thirty Bahia skins in Count Berlepsch's
collection.

the Rio Negro).

This bird agrees exactly with the type of E. taczanowskii, and the two skins
from Mattogrosso, named S. albogrisea by Dr. Allen. I am greatly indebted to
this gentleman and to Count Berlepsch for the loan of these valuable specimens.

Two species have hitherto been distinguished by Count Berlepsch, Dr. Sclater,
and others : (1) E. caniceps, with the back more or less olive-green, the crown
patch and the wing markings pale yellow, and the flanks and under tail-coverts

* Mijiopatis ohsoleta Eelnhardt, Vldcnsk. Mcdd. Kj^benkavn, 1870. p. 345.

( -16 )

tinged with yellowish. (2) E. taczanoicsldi, with the back cinereous, the crown
patch, markings on the wings, and the lower parts white.

A series of nine specimens from Sapiicay, Paraguay (Foster coll. — Brit. Mus.),
however, clearly shows that these two supposed species are merely phases of one
form, E. caniceps representing the immature dress ; E. taczanowskii the plumage
of the fully adult male.

One of the skins in Mr. Foster's series (•'<? ") is practically identical with the
type of E. taczanowskii and the three examples from Goyaz and Mattogrosso.
Crown patch, ajjical spots to the upper wing-coverts, and edges to the remiges
pure white, hack jnire olive-grey (without any green), axillaries and under wing-
coverts white with a hardly perceptible yellowish tinge. Then follows another
"(J " in which some of the wing-markings as well as several feathers of the white
crown-patch are slightly tinged with pale yellow, while the grey back shows
here and there some olive-green feathers. Next come two "S S " with the crown-
patch slightly more yellowish, thongh the white still predominates. Another "cJ "
has the vertical patch uniform pale yellowish, the back mainly olive-green with
very little cinereous, and the axillaries as well .as the under wing-coverts pale
yellow. Tlie flanks and crissum, too, are washed with yellowish. Two "(?c? "
and two "??" have the back uniform olive-green, and the crown-patch, wing-
markings, axillaries, and flanks even more decidedly sulijhur-yellow. These
specimens correspond to what we used to call E. caniceps.

E. cinerca Pelz. is the northern representative of E. caniceps. The adult male
differs from the corresjwuding stage (= E. taczanoicskii) by its longer, broader bill,
much wider white markings to the uj)per wing-coverts, and clear cinereous (not
olive-grey) back. The crown-patch and under-parts (including axillaries and under
wing-coverts) are pure white, the chest slightly shaded with pale cinereous. The
female (and probably also the young male) has the upper surface clear olive-green,
the vertical patch and markings on the wing pale yellow, and the lower parts
bright suljihur-yellow, washed with dull greenish on the sides of the chest. This
is the bird identified as E. macilcaini by Berlepsch and Hartert.* A Bogota skin
in Count Berlepsch's collection, a bird in change of plumage, has the crown clear
cinereous with a white vertical spot (just like the type of E. cinerea), but the
back is olive-green, and the e^lges to the upper wing-coverts are pale yellow, as
in the female from the Caura River {E. macilvaini Berl. & Hart., uec Lawr.) ; the
throat and foreneck are greyish white, as in E. cinerca, the rest of the under-
surface pale yellow, whitish in the middle.

The true E. macilvaini Lawr., however, is quite a different species, being a
northern race of E. gaimardii (D'Orb.) with a canary- yellow crown patch, as
correctly pointed out by Mr. Ridgway.t There are three specimens from Panama
(MacLeannan) in the British Museum which concord well with Ridgway's description
of the type (said to be from Venezuela).

The range of E. caniceps and E. cinerca is as follows :

In all the specimens the inner webs of the five outer rectrices are pale yellow
at the base, this colour being entirely concealed by the tail-coverts ; on the median
pair the corresponding portion is pale greyish brown, sometimes with a yellowish
tinge. The outer web of the outermost rectrix is invariably pale yellowish grey.
In Nos. 2135 and 1853 the tail-feathers terminate in a broad, though ill-defined,
apical band of pale brownish or brownish white, while in the remaining specimens
there is but a narrow l)rownish margin to be seen.

The colour of the rump and upper tail-coverts is extremely variable. In
No. 1852 they are uniform light yellowish green ; in Nos. 2163, 2164, and 2165
the rnmj) is pale greyish yellow, the upper tail-coverts rather purer brownish grey ;
while in Nos. 2135 and 1853 both are clear brownish grey, as in the type of
S. a. bahiaeX (Berl.).

No. 2135 diflers from the other examples by its much shorter and broader bill,
a peculiarity indicating immaturity in allied genera of Tyrannidae, though, judging

from its ])lninage, the bird seems to be quite adnlt I In three specimens (Nos.
2163, 2135, Ksr)3) tlie bill is entirely black ; No. 1852 has the basal half of the
lower mandible pale brownish; and in Nos. 21G4 and 2165 the latter is entirely
yellowish white.

The types of E. affinis in the Halle Musenm and Natterer's specimens at
Vienna all have more or less yellow at the base of the tail-feathers, which is
altogether absent in the type of E. bahiae, still unique in the Berlepsch Museum.

In Ridgway's Birds of Xorth and Middle America iv. 1907. p. 42(1, the
distribution of S. f. fasciatus is stated to extend from " Colombia to South-eastern
Brazil . . . ," the occurrence in Colombia being apparently based on S. incanescens
(nee Wied) Salvin & Godman, Ibis, 1880. p. 124 (Minca, Santa Marta). Berlepsch
and Helhnayr,* however, have pointed out that this specimen was wrongly
identified, being referable to quite a different species — viz. Phijllomyias griseiceps
(Scl. & Salv.), widely distributed in the mountainous parts of North-western South
America. The range of S.f. fasciatus is given in our paper. I.e. p. 5.

Engenho do Cap. Gama, Mattogrosso,t which were kindly lent for examination by
Dr. Lorenz. The series differs from typical examples from Cayenne, British
Guiana, Surinam, and the Parii district merely by rather larger size. The upper
parts are generally rather darker, less olive, but this is not quite constant.

In Southern Minas Geraes (Saute F6) and the province of Rio de Janeiro,
M. c. cai/anensis is represented by M. c. cri/tliroptera Lafr. This form is of the
same size or even larger than the Central Brazilian examjjles of M. c. cayanensis,
but differs at a glance by the much greater extent of rusty on the wings, the two
basal thirds of both webs of the primaries being of that colour. I have examined
the following specimens :

Specimens from Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, aud S. Paulo arc smaller, especially
the wing being shorter, aud the upper parts are a clearer lirown. This is

As to the intensity of the yellow on the belly, there is considerable variation
to be observed. Baer's examples from Rio Thesouras and Rio Araguaya are q[uite

( 51 )

as deep yellow as P. s. maximiliani, while the ? from Goyaz (No. 1847) has the
under parts much paler, clear citron-yellow.

I hope to discuss the geographic races of the P. sulphuratus group on
another occasion.

This bird agrees exactly with several Rio-skins in the Triug and Britisli

sujijiosed to be a native of South-eastern Brazil (and I have seen many skius
of the unmistakable " Rio-make " in various collections), but the only precise

These two examples agree in coloration with the type of P. xanthopijgus Spix
and several Bahia skins, the throat (except the yellowish chin), chest, sides, and
under tail-coverts being ochraceons-brown, in decided contrast to the primrose-
yellow of the middle of the breast and abdomen.

Goyaz is quite a new locality for M. b. mastacalis. The synonymy, range,

This series agrees exactly with several specimens from Chajjada, Mattogrosso,
and others from northern S. Paulo (Rio Tiefe and Rio Paranaiianema). The
middle of the breast and abdomen is white (without any yellow), as are also the
under tail-coverts ; the foreneck, chest, and innermost sides of the body are dull

( 53 )

greyish, the axiUaries and nnder wing-coverts dirty whitish (never pale yellow as
in E. f. fiiscatus), and the upper parts light rufescent brown, decidedly clearer
and more reddish than in the typical race. No. 2136 slightly points towards
E. f.fuscatus by having a faint yellowish tinge on the chest and flanks, while
in other respects it agrees with the birds from the Rio Aragnaya.

The typical form, E. f. fuscatus* inhabits the forest region of the
states of Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, and S. Panlo, has much darker and duller
upper parts, pale yellow breast and belly, the chest more washed with brownish,
etc., etc.

Besides these, I have examined a female, obtained by Count Castelnan (Mus.
Paris), and an adnlt male secured by Natterer, in the Vienna Museum.

These six specimens agree with a series from Bahia in having no rnfous border
to the inner web of the outermost rectrix, but are much paler, more olivaceous
grey, instead of dull brown, on the upper parts, resembling in this respect
M. ti/rannulus chlore.piscius Berl. & Lev., from Mattogrosso and Eastern Bolivia.
The few examples of the latter form, which I have seen, show a broad rufous
border to the inner vane of the outermost rectrix, like M. t. tyrannulus from
Cayenne, Venezuela, etc.

In view of the variability of this character in other species of Mtjiarckus,
however, I do not lay much stress on the markings of the tail-feathers, inasmuch
as, according to Dr. Allen, t in M. t. chlorepiscius from Mattogrosso the rufous
border to the external rectrix is also sometimes absent. Therefore I should not
be surprised if a larger series would prove the Goyaz form to be referable to
M. t. chlorepiscius.

No. 1606 is perfectly identical with other adnlt males from the Rio Jordao
(Minas Geraos), northern S. Panic (Rio Parauii, Rio Paranapanema), Mattogrosso
(Villa Maria, Engenho do Gama), Itaitnba on the Rio Tapajoz, and with
D'Orbigny's type from Eastern Bolivia, in the Paris Museum. All these
specimens have a broad yellowish white band across both webs of all the
rectrices ; the feathers of the throat are as a rule slightly tipped with red ;
tlie under tail-coverts show a very narrow black terminal band.

Specimens from the npper Rio Pnrus, N.W. Brazil, from the Hio Ucayali, Eastern
Peru, and from Chnchurras, province Hniinuco, Central Peru, differ by having the
throat pure yellow, without red tips, the black terminal bantls to the nnder
tail-coverts wider, and by the markings of the tail feathers. The central pair
is wholly black, the two or three following ones are likewise black, but with
a more or less developed white patch near the base of the inner web, the remaining
rectrices are coloured {i.e. banded on both webs) as in P. f. fasciicauda. This
western form has been separated by Miss Snethlage * as Pipra fasciicauda
]>unisiana. When I wrote my synopsis of the genus Pipra I had three adnlt
males from Chuchnrras before me, but overlooked the dirterence in the markings
of the tail. The range of the two races is thus as follows :

This splendid bird is an inhabitant of the campos districts of Brazil. Natterer
obtained it in the northern part of the state of San Panlo at various localities (Borda
do Matto, Irisauga, Paciencia, Rio das Pedras, on the Rio Parana); and Lnnd * sent
specimens from Franca, in the north-eastern corner of the same province. The
former naturalist also met with it at Goyaz, and near Sao Vicente, in western
Mattogrosso. H. H. Smith collected a large series at Chapada, Mattogrosso.f
Burmeister got several examples from the environs of Lagoa Santa, Minas Geraes,{
and the British Blusenm possesses two adult males secured by Dr. Wucherer in the
interior of Bahia.

Whether the single female collected by Buckley near Simacn, § in North
Bolivia, belongs to A. galeata or to a different form, cannot be decided until adult
males come to hand.

These specimens are exactly similar to several topotypical skins from Paraguay,
and others from Eastern Bolivia (D'Orbigny) and Mattogrosso. In all of this
large series the back and rump are deep cinnamou-rufons, the cap being scarcely
darker.

In Eastern Brazil (from Bahia to Par:!) C. r. i-iifa is replaced by C. rufa fiisca
Scl. & Salv.,11 which differs chiefly by having the back dull earthy or rufescent
brown, in decided contrast to the ciunamon-rnfons cap and upper tail-coverts.

The above is the correct name of the western form which had usually been
called C 7ubra. It is, however, extremely doubtful whether M. rubra really refers
to the species in question. Moreover, the name T. ru/us, which is accompanied by
an unmistakable description, has the priority by two years.

This bird shows the characteristic cinereous band across the hind-neck which
distinguishes P. castaneus from the female of P. rufus (Bodd.) (= cinereus anct.).
As I have pointed out in Abhandl.Akad. Wissensck. Mmichen, ii. Kl., Bd. xxii. 3. 1906.
liji. 669-670, the proper name of the Sonth Brazilian form is the one given above.
This has api)arent]y been overlooked by Mr. Ridgway,* in whose great work the
synonymy seems to have been copied from the Catalogue of Birds.

[Turdm figulus Lichteustein, Verz. Dubl. Berliner Mm. p. 40 (1823.— Bahia.)]

Furnarius lulealus Sclater & Salvin, P. Z. S. Lond. 1878. p. 139 (Santarem, Lower Amazons) ; RLker

No. 2327. d imm., Rio Aragnaya, July 1006.— Wing 87 ; tail 61 ; tars. 27A ;
bill 21 mm.

These birds, which answer well to the original description of F. pileatus, agree
with a good series of F.Jigulus, from Bahia, in all important points, such as the black
feet, the presence of two pale spots on the inner web of the two outer primaries, and
the coloration of the lower parts and sides of the head. They differ, however, by the
deeper cinnamon-rufons tint of the back, wings and tail, and by having the
pileum dusky brown (not chestnut-rufous). The lores and eyebrow, too, are paler,
nearly pure white instead of being buff as in F. figulus, and the legs rather
stronger and longer.

No. 2326, an adult bird, has the cap uniform dark brown, the forehead alone
being slightly tinged with rnfescent (as in some specimens of F. I. assimilis).
In the other specimen the feathers of the pileum, though also mainly dusky
brown, show obsolete rufescent brown discs. It is a young bird, as is manifested
by the dusky edges to the feathers of the cheeks and malar region, etc.

So far as I am aware, the two specimens obtained by Professor Steere and
Mr. Riker near Santarem were the only ones as yet known, and the present record
extends the range of F.f. pileatus far to the south.

94. Furnarius leucopus assimilis Cab. & Heine.

Furnarius assimilis Cabauis & Heine, Mas. Ileiiican. ii. p. 22 (1859. — " Brasilieu ").

Nos. 2376, 2395. ? ? ad., Rio Araguaya, August 1906.— Wing 83, 86; tail
54 ; bill 20, 22 mm.

They differ from a number of Bahia skins by having the top of the head
slightly darker, sooty blackish (instead of coflfee-browu). The birds collected
near Cuyab^ by the "late Dr. Natterer (Vienna Museum), however, agree exactly
with those from Bahia. In all these specimens (18) there is a conspicuous pale
cinnamomeons spot on the inner web of the first primary, and the outer web of
the remiges (except the two outer primaries) shows a distinct deep rufous

* Birds North and Middle America, iv. 1907. p. 828, footnote b.

( 58 )

lonjjitndinal stripe which corresponds in length with the pale cinnamomeons

In F. I. leucopus Sws., on the other hand, the first primary is uniform
dusky, and the rufous streak ou the outer web begins with the fourth or fifth

There are no constant differences between examples from Bahia, Goyaz, Matto-
grosso and Paraguay ; perhaps those from Bahia are generally rather lighter, more
fnlvous-brown on the back.

Skins from Entrerios and Tucuman, Argentine, have the greyish brown frontal
band rather wider, though some birds from Brazil come very close in that
respect.

No. 2370. ? fere ad., Rio Araguaya, August 1906. Type of species.

Top of the head and nape raw umber-brown (Ridgw. iii. 14) ; back, rump and
upper tail-coverts bright cinnamon-rufous, the lower rump rather paler than the
rest ; upper wing-coverts, inner secondaries and outer webs of all the other remiges
clear cinnamon-rufous, inner webs dusky. Tail uniform cinnamon-rufous, the shafts
below whitish. Lores, narrow superciliary streak, reaching to the posterior border
of the ear-coverts, and cheeks cream-butf; auricular region rather darker, buif-
brownish. Throat white, more buify in the malar region ; foreneck, sides of the
belly and under tail-coverts pale buff; middle of breast and abdomen to a great
extent white. Thighs buff. Axillaries and under wing-coverts ochraceous-buff ;
inner webs of remiges broadly edged with vinaceous-cinnamon. Edge of wing
bright buff. Bill blackish, lower mandible horny whitish, feet dark brown.— Wing
61; tail 73; bill 14 mm.

This species is somewhat intermediate between S. gujanensis (Gm.) and
S. alhilora Pelz. It agrees with the latter in having the upper tail-coverts and
inner secondaries cinnamon-rufous ; but the whole back is also of this colour (instead
of being fulvous-brown mixed with cinnamon in the middle of the mantle); the
nnder-jiarts are white, washed with buff on the foreneck and sides (not uniform deep
ochraceous), and the axillaries as well as the nnder wing-coverts much paler
ochraceous. In the two last points the new form agrees with S. gujanensis, which,
however, has the back and upper tail-coverts earthy brown, and the inner secondaries
dusky, narrowly edged with rufous.

At the reqtiest of Mons. G. A. Baer the species is named in honour of
Mons. Eugene Simon, of Paris, the great authority on spiders and humming-birds.

No. 1675. ? ad., Faz. Esperan(ja, December 1905.— Wing 55J ; tail 67 ; bill
13i mm.

While almost identical on the nnder-parts, these specimens present a certain
amount of individual variation as to the colour of the back. In No. 1675 back,
rump and upper tail-coverts are uniform bright cinuamou-rufons (Ridgw. iv. 16)

( 60 )

there being scarcely a few brownish feathers on the lower rnmj) ; in the two others
the gronnd-colonr is a rather lighter cinnamon-rnfous, and largely mixed with
pale brown, especially on the anterior portion of the mantle. The same variation
is exhibited by three specimens from C'hapada, Mattogrosso, in the British
Musenm. The type of S. scutata, which I also examined, agrees in the colour
of the back with No. 2170, while another skin from Bahia (Mns. H. v. Berlejisch)
has the back and rnmp cinnamon-rnfons like No. 1675.

The lores are always white in this species, wliile the colour of the eyebrow
varies from white to buff-yellow. Chin and upper throat silky white ; on the
lower throat a large black patch ; ear-coverts dull brown ; cheeks, malar region,
sides of the neck and belly, as well as the foreneck, bright ochraceons-bnff, middle
of the breast and abdomen white.

In southern Mattogrosso and in the Argentine Republic S. s. scutata is
replaced by S. s. whitii Scl., which differs by having the back dull olive-brown
without any trace of cinnamon-rnfons, the tail darker rnfous, and the upper
wing-coverts and remiges much darker, aliout "hazel" (Ridgw. iv. 12) instead of
clear cinnamon-rnfons. The upper tail-coverts are, however, cinnamon-rnfous, as in
«S. s. scutata.

An adult male collected by Borelli near Urucum, and kindly sent for
comparison by Count Salvadori, agrees exactly with four specimens from
Jnjny, in the Tring Museum. The distribution of the two forms is accordingly
as follows :

(a) S. scutata scutata Scl. Brazil : Bahia (type) ; Goyaz : Rio Thesonras,
R. Araguaya and Faz. Esperan(;a (Baer) ; North S. Panlo : S. Jeronymo on the
Rio Tiete (Garbe) ; Mattogrosso : Chapada (Smith).

—Wing 51|, 54 ; tail 66, 64 ; bill 11|, 10 mm.

The specimens agree perfectly with others from Bahia and Lagoa Santa,
in the British Mnseum, and with the series collected by Natterer in 8. Paulo
(Ytarart, Irisanga, etc.), lent by the authorities of the Vienna Museum. In all
these skins the pileum and nape are warm rnfescent brown (between Ridgway's
mummy-brown and mars brown) like the back, and the edge of the wing, as well as
the bastard quills, uniform cinnamon-brown. In some examples the first bastard
quill is edged with whitish, and there are a few black feathers with white edges
on the edge of the wing.

The males always possess a well-develojjed, concealed, white interscapular
patch, and a complete collar of cinnamon-rnfous across the hindneck. In the
females the white dorsal spot is altogether absent, and the nuchal collar interrupted
in the middle.

Prince Wied's description generally applies well to the above series, except

• Synallaxu whitii Sclater, Ibis, 1881. p. GOO. tab. xvii. fig. 2 (Orao, Salta, Argentine).

( 61 )

for the words : " Oberkopt und Nacken gratibraun." Unfortunately the types seem
to have been lost. (Cf. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. ii. 1889. p. 244.)

The diagnosis of S. bitorqiiata Lafr. & D'Orb.,* however, tallies exactly with
Baer's specimens : cf. " capite snpra brunneo."

Neither in colour nor in size could I detect any constant differences between
specimens from Rio, S. Paulo and Parand, and those from Goyaz and Mattogrosso
(Chapada). It is true, two S. Paulo skins are rather darker brown on the back,
but an adult female from Ro(,-a Nova, Serra do Mar (Parana) agrees in this
respect with the Rio, Goyaz and Chapada birds.

The type of Philydor ruficollis Spix,j- said to be from the interior of Bahia,

a distinct form, the birds from Goyaz and Mattogrosso are not referable to it.

The series agrees in coloration and size with specimens from S. Paulo,
Mattogrosso and Jnjuy, Argentina, while Bahia skins are slightly smaller,
especially the tail being shorter.

A'. i: rutilus is characterised by having the inner web of the fourth rectrix
only black, all the rest of the tail being cinnamon-rnfons. Sometimes the base of
the inner web of the third rectrix is also more or less blackish.

In A'. /•. heterurus Cab. & Heine, of which a very large series has been
examined, the inner webs of both the third and fourth rectrices are black, and the
subexterual as well as the fifth tail-feather have likewise more or less black
at the base. Besides, the back is duller, more brownish (less cinnamomeons),
and the ground-colour of the nnder-parts greyish brown, barely sliaded with
olivaceous.

A third form of this group is A', tenuirostn's Pelz.,* of which the type
and only known specimen has been kindly lent me by Dr. von Lorenz. In this
bird the third and fourth rectrix are wholly black, the fifth has the inner web
black, and there is also a black stripe along the inner web of the penultimate
rectrix. In size it agrees with A'. /■. rutilus, but the bill is much weaker and
slenderer. A', r. heterurus is much larger, with a decidedly stronger and more
powerful bill.

The range of the three races is as follows :

(re) A. rutilus rutilus Lcht.

The adult birds sent by Mons. Baer, as well as two adult males from Goyaz
ill the Paris Museum, collected by Castelnau and Deville, agree perfectly with
specimens from Rio de Janeiro, S. Paulo and Parana. The under-parts are deep
ochre-yellow, the pilenm is olivaceous, more or less tinged with brownish, and the
u])per back tawny olive.

S. syhiclUis olimceus AVied,* of which Count Berlepsch kindly lent me a
specimen from Bahia, differs from 6'. s. sijlciellus by having the pileum and mantle
decidedly olive-green, and the nnder-surface duller as well as more olivaceous. It
is an easily recognisable form.

No. 2169. ? imm., Rio Thesouras, May 1900.— Wing 68 ; tail 7(i ; bill 12 mm.

This example is quite distinct from those obtained by Mons. Baer in the
vicinity of Goyaz city, and seems to belong to the pale form inhabiting Mattogrosso,
Eastern Bolivia and Northern Argentina. It differs, however, slightly from
topotypical examples of S. chapadeit.-iis in its rather more brownish (less greyish)
head and upper back, and smaller bill. The colour of the lower surface, on the
other hand, is exactly the same pale greyish buff. Until additional examples
prove it to represent a recognisable race, it may well be referred to chapadensis.

This bird agrees with the specimens from Mattogrosso in the Vienna Museum
obtained by Natterer. The bill is horny whitish, and the pale shaft-stripes on
the under-parts are never margined with blackish laterally — ^just as in Bolivian
examples. The birds from Mattogrosso and Goyaz differ, however, by their larger
size, less dusky pileum, and by having the under-parts slightly more rnfescent.
Additional material may show the Brazilian birds to be separable as a distinct
form ; but in view of the great variability in other members of this genus, I
feel not justified in bestowing a name on them with the relatively scanty material
before me.

P. a. bivittatus (Lcht.) is a very close ally of P. a. angustirostris (Vieill.), and
diflPers only by having the breast and abdomen uniform creamy white. In the
typical race from Paraguay the feathers of the belly are more or less distinctly
edged with brown or ashy.

No. 1764. S ad., Faz. EsjieraiKja, January 1906.— Wing 100; tail 90;
bill 24i mm.

This specimen agrees pevfectl}' with several others from the vicinity of Rio
de Janeiro, and differs slightly from a series of skins collected in the state of
S. Paulo.

Topoty]iicul examples of D. t. turdina from Bahia liave the back bright
ochraceons brown, especially the ramp ; and all the nnderface is strongly suffused
with ochraceons. The throat is but a little paler than chest and abdomen, and
there are only a few indistinct bnff shaft-lines on the foreneck. The S. Paulo birds
differ at a glance in being much duller, olive-brown above and below, with scarcely
any ochreons tinge on the abdomen ; the throat is conspicuously j)aler than the
rest of the nnder-parts, ochraceons buff, and the feathers of the foreneck show
distinct light shaft-lines of bright bnff.

The male from Goyaz, as well as a jiair from Rio, are of a purer brown on
both the upper and under parts, lacking the olive hue to be seen in skins from
S. Paulo. The throat is scarcely paler than the chest, and there are but a very
few buff stripes on the foreneck. Another specimen from Rio, however, is almost
identical with those from S. Paulo. Until better series are available for comparison,
the birds from Rio and Southern Goyaz may be referred to D. t. enalincia.

and 1 c? imm. from Goyaz, Castelnan & Deville coll., kindly lent by Dr. Mdn^ganx,
of the Paris Museum.

Of the typical T. a. ambigum, I had before me twenty specimens of both sexes
from Bahia and the environs of Ilio de Janeiro, in the Tring and Vienna Mnseums.

On carefully comparing this material, I find two forms easily separaVile.
The males from Goyaz, Blattogrosso, and Northern S. Paulo differ from those of
trne T. ambigiius by their lighter grey back, much paler lower parts with a large
amount of white in the middle of the abdomen, smaller bill, and by the white
marginal spot on the inner web of the outermost rectrix being absent or but faintly
indicated. In many cases the white sjiot on the inner web of the other rectrices is
likewise wanting ; this character, however, is subject to much individual variation
(see below). The females can also be easily recognised by their much brighter
ochraceous-buif foreneck, chest, and sides, and by the distinct white area in the
middle of the abdomen. In T. a. ambigiius ? all the lower surface (except
the whitish throat) is uniform dull buii-brown or fulvescent brown, hardly shading
into pale buff along the middle line of the belly.

Variation in the markings of the rectrices in the males :

in the type of T. sticturus (c? ex Engenho do Gama) and in the S from
Cornmbii the outer web of the rectrices only shows a white marginal spot. Two
<Jc? from Chapada and that from Jaboticabal have on both webs a white stripe
or spot, just as in T. a. ambiguus, but the markings on the inner web of the
two outer tail-feathers are decidedly narrower. In another <S from Cha])ada and
in two from Goyaz the two outer rectrices have the white stripe on the outer
web only, while the remaining fonr are spotted on both webs. Six other c?(?
from Goyaz have all rectrices spotted on both sides.

The following summary of the geographical distribution of the two forms may
be not unwelcome to ornithologists interested in the neotropical avifauna :

This large series confirms the distinctness of T. d. difficilis, although the
colour-characters of the female as set forth in my description do not hold good.
The males differ from those of T. d. subradiatus Berl. by having the forehead
more densely striped with white, the ground colour of the uuder-parts purer white,
and the bill distinctly weaker and slenderer (not stouter as stated in the original
diagnosis lapsii calami).

The crest feathers are as a rule uniform black ; but in one specimen (No. 2192)
they are white at the extreme base. Both webs of all rectrices are banded with
white.

The females from Goyaz differ from those of T. d. subradiatus merely by their
slenderer l)ill.

Differs from -1/. I. luctuosus, oHhe Lower Amazons and Rio Madeira, in having
ranch shorter white tips to the tail-feathers, and broader white edges to the outer
webs of the scapular leathers. The former, too, are restricted to tiie three outer

( 69 )

pairs of rectrices, though sometimes the fourth rectrix also shows a very narrow
white margin. The white tip on the outermost i)air varies in Jengtli from 4 to 0,
on the second from 3 to 4 mm., while the third has a white ajiical margin, about
H to 2 mm. wide.

In the typical race, of which seven specimens from Pari, Santarem and the
Rio Madeira are available for comparison, the tip on the outermost rectrix measures
from 8 to 10, on the second from 0 to 8, on the third from 4 to 6, on the fourth from
4 to 5, on the fifth from 2A to 4 mm.

There are no other differences between the two forms, as far as I can see.

Like M. I. luctuosus, the males of the present series have the elongated crest
deep black like the back, the females bright chestnut-rnfous.

This is another purely Amazonian type, which we should have scarcely expected
to meet with so far in the interior of Goyaz.

They agree perfectly with three others from Chapada, Mattogrosso, while the
typical female from Villa Maria, a locality farther to the west than Chapada, is more
reddish on the wings, a character most certainly due to immaturity.

The female of X*. a. affinis differs from that of V. mentalis (Temm.) in the
following details : The back is dull brownish olive (instead of greyish green
or olive-green), the foreneck, chest, sides and under tail-coverts are pale brownish
olive-yellow, the throat white speckled with ochreous, the middle of the breast
white ; while in D. mentalis the throat is pure white and the rest of the nnder-parts
uniform bright naples or maize yellow. The lores are rufescent (not white mixed
with cinereous), cheeks, eye region, superciliaries, and ear-coverts rufescent brown,
the latter narrowly streaked with white. In D. mentalis, on the other hand, the
sides of the head are dark cinereous variegated with whitish, the ear-coverts
blackish grey with white shaft-lines.

Goyaz is a new locality for T>. a. w^^/h's, hitherto only known from Mattogrosso.

This series agrees perfectly with Pelzeln's tT])cs kindly lent by Dr. von Lorenz.

No. 2178 is an adnlt male with the pilciim uniform glossy blaek and the
under-parts pure white. The young males have the general coloration of the
females — viz. the forehead spotted with dull ochreous, the crown and occiput
with white longitudinal spots, the eyebrow bufFy, the grey of the back washed with
olive, etc. Tiiey diiier, however, in having the foreueck, breast, and abdomen mnch
brighter, " buff yellow " (rather paler and duller than Ridgway's tab. vi. fig. 19),
while in the females these parts are abont buff.

Through the kindness of my friend Blons. Menegaux, of the Paris Museum,
1 was enabled to examine the bird mentioned by D'Orbigny and Lafresnaye,
s.n. T. pileatus, and found it to be identical with the males of H. atricapillus
obtained by Natterer and Mons. Baer. Although the type of T. affinis does
not any longer exist in the Paris Museum, I think there can be no doubt that it
is also referable to the present species, as the description agrees exactly with
the females before me. Moreover, it was obtained in the same district, Chiquitos,
in the plains of Eastern Bolivia, where D'Orbigny also procured a typical male
of H. atneapillitsl Fortnnately we need not trouble about the name T. affinis,
for it is jireoccupied by Spix, in 1825.

H. atricapillus ditfevs from //. pileatus by its much longer and stronger
bill, and by averaging larger in all dimensions. The <? tJ, furthermore, are
distinguished by the nnder-parts being almost pure white, while in //. pileatus
the sides are strongly washed with cinereous ; by having very little white at the
base of the interscapular feathers (instead of a large concealed white patch),
and by the white apical spot on the inner web of the penultimate rectrix
ending basally in a straight line. The female may also be recognised by its larger
size, much stronger liill, darker ochreous spots on the forehead, and brighter
bnif under-parts.

Another very nearly allied form is //. motacilloides Tacz., of which I examined
two adult males from Central Peru belonging to the Berlepsch and Vienna
Museums. It agrees with //. atricapillus in size, bnt has no white at all on
the base of the interscapular feathers, longer white tips to the three outer tail-
feathers, and a distinct black spot in front of the eye, while in //. atricapillus
the lores are entirely white. Besides, breast and abdomen are tinged with
pale yellowish instead of being pure white I am not acquainted with the female
of this race.

These three forms represent each other geographically, and are, therefore,
more properly designated by trinomials. Their distribution is as follows :

The specimens agree well with others from Chapada, Mattogrosso. H. longi-
rostris is quite distinct from //. p. atricapillus and much more nearly related to
H. pectoralis, of which it appears to be the western representative. The two forms
are practically identical in structure and proportions, and their females scarcely
distinguishable.

The (J c? of //. longirostris differ from those of the Bahia form by their longer
tail, cinereous (instead of black) upper tail-coverts, and by the continuous black
jugular band being replaced by numerous small blackish or dark cinereous spots on
the foreneck.

The female of //. pectoralis of Bahia, which has not yet been described,
resembles in general coloration that of //. longirostris, having the head bright
tawny or tawny ochraceous, and the under-parts ochraceous (darkest on the foreneck
and breast, paler on the throat) ; it differs, however, by the upper tail-coverts being
brownish olive-grey tipped with white (instead of uniform cinereous), by the back
being distinctly washed with brownish olive (instead of clear cinereous or olive-grey),
and by its shorter tail. There are many specimens in Count Berlepsch's Museum,
and I have also one in ray collection, all of the well-known Bahia-makc. For
the sake of comparison I append the measurements of the two species.

These specimens are typical /'. g. grisea, agreeing perfectly with others from
Ca)'enne. The scapular feathers are uniform dark earthy brown ; the tertiaries
dusky and scarcely edged with paler brown along the outer webs : the superciliaries
narrow ; the bill rather strong. The males have a large amount of white on
the sides of the breast and abdomen, and greyish white axillaries. In the
female and 3'onng male the nnder-parts are deep ochraceons, the lower tail-coverts
and axillaries paler, more ochraceous-buff, the cheeks and ear-coverts buff, and
there is an obsolete, narrow eyebrow of the same colonr.

Of this very distinct species, Imt a few examples were as yet known to exist.
The Vienna Museum possesses a male and a female, the types, collected by Natterer
in the vicinity of Goyaz, and according to Sclater and Count Berlepsch (in litt.).
Prof. Behn obtained, at the same locality, an adnlt male which was formerly
preserved in the Kiel Museum, and is now probably in the Berlin collection.
Lately, Prof, von Ihering* has recorded a specimen from Avanhandava, in the
northern part of the state of S. Paulo.

The male sent by Mons. Baer differs from Natterer's type by its stronger bill,
and by having a few silky white feathers in the otherwise sooty grey flanks. The
females and the young male, on the other hand, are absolutely identical with the
female in the Vienna Museum.

Compared with a large number of males of F. grisea, those of F. melanogastra
differ at a glance by their much longer tail and slenderer bill. The whole lower
surface is deep black with the exception of a few greyish white feathers on the
flanks, while in F. grisea all the sides of the breast and of the abdomen are
pure white. The axillaries are deep black in F. melanogastra, greyish white in

• Renxt. Mm. Paid. vi. 1905. p. 355.

( 73 )

F. grisea. The white eyebrow is very much broader, especially above the ear-
coverts, and prodnced to the sides of the nape ; the shonlder feathers are black,
edged with white along the outer web (uniform smolcy-brown in 7'"'. grisea) ; the
inner secondaries have likewise distinct white edges (in F. grisea they are scarcely
margined with pale brownish). Moreover, the two outermost pairs of rectrices are
white for the entire apical half of their outer web, while in F. grisea the penultimate
rectrix shows but a limited apical spot of that colour.

The females of the two species are altogether diiferent. In F. mclanogastra
the under surface is light cream-buff (Ridgw. 2\omencl. v. 11), the throat rather
paler, sometimes even whitish; the flanks shaded with brownish; the under tail-
coverts black with white apical margins (not uniform ochraceous as in F. grisea).
Ear-coverts and sides of the neck dull black (cream-buff like the cheeks in
F. grisea) ; a very broad superciliary stripe from the nostrils to the sides of the
nape pure white ; shoulder feathers and inner secondaries distinctly edged with
white along the outer web, etc., etc

The males of F. melanogastra are smoky-brown on the upper parts, the females
more reddish, rather rufescent earthy-brown, both being decidedly darker than the
corresponding sexes of F. grisea.

more ochraceous flanks than those from Bahia and Goyaz.

This series agrees perfectly with a large number of skins from S. Panlo,
Mattogrosso, Minas Geraes, Para, and Cayenne. The belly is pure green with
golden reflections here and there, the back golden green, and the violet-blue of the
head sharply defined against the colour of the mantle.

E. m. hirundo Gould,* from Sout,li-ea.stern Peru (Hniro, Maranura), is very
closely allied to E. m. macroura {prasina Sim.), and differs solely by the paler,
more cobalt-blue colour of the head, which blends with the golden green of
the back.

Specimens from Northern Bolivia (Kio Beni) are variously intermediate
between the two forms, some being much like hirundo, while others are scarcely
distinguishable from macroura of Brazil.

to: the Musen Paulista ; and an adult bird from Mojos, Eastern Bolivia, coll.

pure white and the tail chiefly bluish-black ; but the middle pair of rectrices is always
more or less washed with bronze-green, and the outer tail-feathers are, as a rule,
more distinctly tipped with greyish-green or wliitish-grey. Several examples,
however, are scarcely distinguishable on tliis score.

The range of A. a. nigricauda, thus far known, is as follows :
Eastern Brazil : Bahia (many specimens in Mus. Tring, H. v. Berlepsch,
Vienna, etc.), Peruambuco (one immature bird in Mas. v. Bcrlepscli) ; Minas
Geraes : Uiamaiitina (Gouuelle *} ; Goyaz : llio Thesonras, Leopoldina (Baer),

As regards colour these birds agree very well with skins from llio de Janeiro.
Like the latter they show a distinct bluish tinge on the throat, but are somewhat
larger, and the bill is rather stronger and longer. Whether these trifling
differences are of any importance cannot be decided without a larger series
from Goyaz.

Although established upon immature birds, it seems pretty certain that
T. pucherani refers to the Rio form of the aureoventris-gmwj). I have examined
one of the types, a young male, in the Paris Museum. Chlorostilbon wiedi f
Bone, of which I have likewise studied the types, was based on "Rio"
skins.

Type of T. e. baeri Hellm. t? ad., Goyaz, April 1906. No. 2073. Coll.
G. A. Baer. — Tring Museum.

The males of this well-marked form differ from those of T. e. eripitile, which
they resemble in general coloration, and especially in having the forehead glittering
golden green, in much smaller size, and in the colour of the under tail-coverts.
These are either pure white, or some of the shortest feathers only show very small
discs of bluish black or dark bronze green. The specimens from Chiquitos and
Mattogrosso fully agree with the Goyaz series.

The females of T. e. baeri are considerably smaller than those of the typical
race, of which I have seen several examples from Minas Geraes. There appear
to be no colour differences. A female from Mojos, Eastern Bolivia, is practically
identical with that sent by Mons. Baer.

T. e. baeri is a very interesting form, being intermediate between T. e. eripkile
and T. balzani Sim. With the former it shares the glittering frontal patch,
completely absent in T. balzani ; with the latter the white under tail-coverts and
the small size. In typical T. e. eriphile the males have the under tail-coverts
always uniform bluish black or dark lironze-green, sometimes with narrow
whitish fringes.

The characters and geographic distribution of the three forms may be
summarised as follows :

(a) T. eripkile eriphile (Less.).

c?. Larger : wing 59 — 62 ; tail 39 — 44 mm. Forehead as far as the anterior
angle of the eye glittering green, sharply defined against the dark bronze-green
of the vertex. Under tail-coverts bluish black or dark bronze-green, either
uniform or narrowly fringed with whitish.

Tring Museum possesses one of Borelli's specimens (« of Salvadori's list; ¥,
Valenzuela, No. 24), which also turns out to be the white-throated species,
C. agricola. So far as I can see from published records, C. campestris has not
been observed in recent years in Paraguay, though the description of Azara ujion
which Vieillot's name is based seems to refer to the black-throated species. t

In coloration, these specimens are practically identical with a series from
Minas Geraes (Rio Jordfio), Mattogrosso (Chapada), and northern S. Panlo (Franca,
Bebedonro), but wings and tail are decidedly, the bill slightly, shorter. The rumji
is always pale olive-yellow with numerous blackish transverse bands or spots, the
lower parts are jiale yellow and (except the longitudinally strii>ed throat) all over
spotted with black.

Chi-ysoptilus Jiacilumbis (Sundev.),t from Bahia, has the rump and lower
parts much clearer, brighter yellow, and the former as well as the middle of
the belly are wholly or almost unspotted. Some specimens, however, approach
C. nattereri very closely.

I feel pretty sure that t\ cristatus, C. i/ielanocklorus, C. nattereri, and C.Jlavi-
lumbis will turn out to be merely geographical representatives of the same type,
bnt I have neither time nor material to discuss this qnestion now.

C. nattereri is known to me from the following localities :

Goyaz : Abrantes, city of Goyaz (Natterer, Baer), Faz. Esperani;'a (Baer).
N.W. Minas Geraes : Rio Jordao, prov. Araguay (Robert ; three spec, in Tring

Agree well with examples from Paraguay and Argentine. Two skin.s from
Espiritu Santo, Lower Ama/ons, collected by Prof Steere in 1879, are not different
either. This species has not been met with in Cayenne by any of the recent
travellers, but as it occurs as far north as Parii, it might yet be rediscovered in
the French colony.

The four first-named specimens, adult c?c?, agree with the type of P. olivinus in
the Vienna Museum, in having the forehead and vertex (as far as the posterior
angle of the eye) pale ashy brown while the feathers of the occiput and nape have
long scarlet tips. The back is uniform bright golden yellow. Other examples in
the Vienna Mnsenm, obtained by Natterer at Goyaz, Cuyab^ and Engenho do Gama,
Mattogrosso, are absolutely indistinguishable.

The male from the Rio Araguaya (No. 2393) is practically identical with the
type of P. muri7ius, kindly lent by Dr. von Lorenz. Both are immature (this
being proved by the structure of the plumage), and differ from fully adult males
only in having the red of the occiput extended down to the base of the bill or
nearly so. It is a well-known fact that in some species of Woodpeckers (for
instance, the European Bendrocopits major) the young have more red on the top
of the head than the adults, and I am perfectly convinced that the so-called
" P. murinus " is nothing but the immature male of V. olivinus. This view is,
moreover, supported by geographical reasons, all the so-called " ?;j«n'««s " having
been taken within the range occujiied by I', olivinus. Natterer secured a specimen
of each at Engenho do Gama, and Dr. Alien,! who received a series of thirt3'-two
skins of Dendfobates olivinus in the Smith collection from Chapada, Mattogrosso,
also mentions that " two young males (probably birds of the year) have the whole
top of the head bright red."

The type of P. murinus presents the following dimensions : Wing 89^ ; tail 54 ;
bill 19^ mm.

It may be remarked that the figure iu Malherbe's work is completely mis-
leading. The tj'pe specimen has no trace of the yellow nnchal band shown on
the plate, where, on the other hand, the narrow shaft-lines of pale yellowish
on the npper wing-coverts are altogether omitted. As a whole, it is a very bad
representation of the bird.

Similar to G. f. J/acescens (Gm.) of South-eastern Brazil, in pattern of colora-
tion, bnt distinguishable at a glance by its much shorter wings, shorter and weaker
bill, much shorter crest, and by having the ochreons-yellow bands on the back
considerably wider, so that the upper parts appear much less varied with black
than iu the ty])ical form. The tone of the yellow portions of the jdnmage, too,
is decidedly more intense and more ochreons, this being especially noticeable on
the wings.

Several specimens from Bahia are exactly similar to those from Goyaz.—
Wing 140; tail 100 ; bill 24i mm.

This interesting new form is intermediate between (?. f. Jiaxescens and C. f.
ochraceus (Spix) from the Lower Amazons and N.E. Brazil. It agrees with the
latter in the shortness of the crest, in the small size, and approaches it also by
the ochreous-yellow hue of the plumage, bnt can easily be recognised by having
the back regnlarly banded with black. In C. f. ochraceus the back shows oval
or cordiform blackish brown markings, and the general coloration is much deejier
ocbraceous.

Two species have been distinguished by Sundevall and Hargitt on account
of some slight differences in the pattern of the lower parts : (a) P. sagittatus with
sagittate markings on throat, chest, and upper breast, and with drop-like stripes on
the sides of the belly ; (b) P. guttifer with the feathers of the foreneck, chest, and
breast margined with black, and having a black central stripe widening at the base

* According to the registers of the Paris Museum the type was obtained iu the soutliern part
of Goyaz, near the sources of the Kio Tocantins.

( 84)

on the chest ; flanks striped as in P. sagittatus. Prof. Ihering has lately separated a
third form from Northern S. Panlo as P. s. var. sharpei on account of the feathers of
the chest and breast having no sagittate markings, bnt two transverse black bars,
sometimes nnited by a black median stripe.*

The careful examination of a very large series, including the types of P. guttifer
and P. sagittatus, kindly lent by my friend Mens. M(^negaux, of the Paris Mnsenm,
and the original specimens of P. sharpei Ih., obligingly forwarded by Prof, von
Ihering, has convinced me that these supposed three forms are really bnt one, the
noted differences being partly due to individual variation, partly due to age. This
is conclusively proved by the ten specimens from Goyaz examined by me — namely,
the two types from the Paris Musenm, two skins (<? fere ad., ? ad.) obtained by
Natterer, and six secured by Mons. Baer. In this series are represented the three
phases characterised above, as well as several intermediate stages. The same
variation is to be noticed in three examples taken by Mons. Robert on the Rio
Jordao, N.W. Minas Geraes.

As to P. caipira I have also not the slightest doubt that it is based on a young
bird of the same species. Tlie Tring Musenm possesses six skins from the typical
locality (Victoria), received from Mr. W. F. H. Rosenberg (coll. Hempel). None of
them is quite adult, all showing a distinct buff wash on the belly, as is also the case
in immature birds from G(5yaz and Mattogrosso. The series differs in no way from
other specimens in corresponding plumage, and presents the same variation with
regard to the black markings on the lower parts.

The range of P. guttifer is thus as follows :

State of Goyaz : City of Goyaz (Natterer, Baer, Casteluau et Deville), Rio
Tocantins (Casteluau et Deville), Faz. Esperani,a (Baer). N.W. Minas Geraes :
Rio Jordao (Robert). Northern S. Paulo : Jaboticabal (Lima), Baun'i, S. .leronymo

grosso : Nas Frechas, CnyabA (Natterer), Chapada (Smith).

In addition to these, the Tring Mnsenm possesses 1 cj ad., 2 ¥ ? ad. from Rio
Jordao, prov. Aragna}', Minas Geraes (A. Robert coll.), and an adult bird, not
sexed, obtained by Mr. Gustav Garlepp at Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Eastern
Bolivia.

* The colour of the upper tail-coverts, another of the alleged specific characters, is of no importance
in these birds.

f It the type really came from Brazil it must have been obtained somewhere on the Amazons,
for tiie original description, as well a-s the plate in the Monogr. Rhamphatt. ed. 1. pi. 13, unquestionably
refer to the northern form.

( S5)

P. c. australis is a fairly well loarlvcd form, and may be distinguished from
P. c. castanotis, of Northern Pern, Eastern Ecuador, and Eastern Colombia
(Bogotd coll.) by having a more or less developed patch of chestnut in the middle
of the crown, and by the sides of the head being of a lighter chestnut. As a rule,
the throat is also chestnut, the chin alone being sooty blackish, though in this
respect some sjjecimens of the northern form match it exactly.

coverts olive greyish-brown, with a distinct buffy patch in the anterior portion of the
latter ; chin creamy buff.

In adult birds the sides of the head are sooty blackish, and the patch on the

The adults agree perfectly with others from Paraguay and S. Paulo. The
young bird (No. 1657) differs by its buif (instead of pare white) nuchal band,
and by the throat and chest being much paler, creamy bufi" (not deep buff or
ochreous) with narrow blackish longitudinal streaks (instead of being marked
with wavy transverse lines). Besides this, the upper wing-coverts have broad
whitish apical bands.

The skins from Sautarem agree fully with our large series from Bahia, and
unquestionably belong to the large-billed, typical form.

B. m. striatipectus Scl. * may readily be distinguished from both B. m.
maculatus and B. m. parvirostris by having narrow longitudinal streaks of black
on the chest aud sides of the belly. Three examples from Mattogrosso (CnyabA,
Retiro, t'aivara) iu the Vienna Museum, obtained by the late Dr. Natterer, have
the short tail of B. m. parrirostris ; but the bill, while of the same length,
is rather stouter, and the markings on the breast and sides are intermediate in
shape, being neither cordiform as in B. m. parvirostris, nor longitudinally streaked
as iu B. m. striatipectus, but distinctly oval or " rhomboid." A better series
from Mattogrosso is required to show if these characters are constant.

In B. m. striatipectus >Scl., of which I have examined a large series from

Eastern Bolivia and Western Argentine (Salta, Tucnman), the tail is always

considerably longer than in the Goyaz and Mattogrosso birds, varying from

72 to 80 mm., and the lower throat and foreueck are of a paler ochraceous

colour.

The series agrees with skins from Surinam, Venezuela, Pani, etc., in having tlie
lower abdomen alone ochraceons. In the majority of the specimens this patch is of
a rather lighter ochraceons than in those from more northern localities, but still
very much deeper (and tar less extended) than in C. t. brasilicusis from Bahia and

These specimens agree exactly with others from Minas Geraes and Northern
S. Paulo. A skin from Gnarayos, Eastern Bolivia, coll. D'Orbigny in the Paris
Mnsoum, is also in every respect similar.

Of the five examples sent, by Mens. Baer two have the whole undor-mandible
whitish, in one (No. 1759) the apical fourth is blackish, and in the two others
(Nos. 1773, 1763) all the lower jaw is blackish except for a small basal spot
of whitish.

The differences between B. melanosterna and B. albogularis are set forth in
my revision of Spix' types, pp. 600 — 601.

The range of jB. melanosterna thus far known is as follows :

Central Brazil, Goyaz : City of Goyaz (Behn), Faz. Esperan(;>a (Baer),
Leopoldina, R. Araguay (v. d. tSteinen coll. — Mus. H. v. Berlepsch), S. Domingo,
near the frontier of Minas Geraes (Luud) ; Northern S. Paulo : Rio Parana
(Natterer), Barretos on the Rio Grande (Garbe coll. — Mas. Panlista) ; Minas Geraes :
Rio Jordao, prov. Araguay (Robert coll.— Mns. Tring) ; Mattogrosso : Chapada,
Abrilongo (Smith).

Eastern Bolivia : Gnarayos (D'Orbigny ; Mus. Paris).

In Eastern Bolivia and N.W. Argentina T. v. variegatus is replaced by a larger
race with shorter white tips to the onter rectrices. This is T. variegatus bekni
Gonld.* Cf. my revision of Spix' types, p. .597.

Whether T. bolivianus Grant is different from T. v. behni appears to me to be
extremely doubtful. Moreover, it is quite inconceivable why the author should
have chosen the term bolivianus for a bird which, according to his specimens, is only
found in Pern and Eastern Ecuador.

In coloration, these specimens are practically identical with an adult male from
Sapucay, Paraguay, but seem to be somewhat smaller. Both are, however,
moulting.

The distribution of this species is rather curious. Natterer obtained it
near Mattodentro and Ypanema in S. Panlo. The Tring Museum received
specimens from Victoria, in the same state, secured by Mr. A. Hempel ; from
Ro?a Nova, Serra do Mar, Parana, and Rio Jordao, Minas Geraes (A. Robert) ; and
from S. Javier, Misiones, Argentine (White).

T. auratitius Spi.x, which differs only by having the under-parts orange-yellow
(instead of blood-red) we have from Bahia, and from Piqnete, S. Panlo (Robert),
while an adult male from Novo Fribnrgo, Rio, is intermediate between T. surrucura
and T. aurantius. More information is required about these two forms before
their distinctness can be considered as established.

The Aragna3-a seems to be one of the principal hunting-grounds of this beautiful
bird, for Natterer and Comte de Castelnau also met with it on the banks of that
river. It is still very rare in collections.

Although I have no topotypical Paraguayan skins to compare, there can be
little doubt that these birds belong to the true C. picazuro. Specimens from

( 91 )

Tiicumi'ui are mnch darker ou the head, rniuji and npiier tail-coverts, and a]iparently
represent a distinct race.

In the cJd" from Brazil the wing varies from 'Z'Si to 225, in one (No. 2431)
228 mm. ; iu the females from 210 to 212 mm.

172. Columba rufina sylvestris Vieill.

These specimens agree with others from S. Panlo in having the basal portion
of the tail feathers blackish or dark grey, in marked contrast to the pale cinereous
tip, and corroborate what I said in JS^or. Zool. xiii. 1906. p. 47, abont the dis-
tinctness of the southern race. Paraguay skins should be compared in order to
ascertain if the name C. sylvestris is really applicable to the Brazilian birds.

173. Columba phimbea baeri n. snbsp.

No. 2045. c? jr., Goyaz, April 1006.— Wing 176 ; tail 140; bill 14 mm.

This very distinct new form diiFers from C. p. pbttnhea in its ratlier smaller
size ; mnch j)a]er brown colonr of the upper parts, this being especially noticeable
on the rump and njjper tail-coverts, which entirely lack the purplish gloss, always
more or less to be seen in true C. p. plumbea. The pileum and nape are of a
delicate clear grey, with scarcely any vinaceous hue, more whitish grey on the
forehead, while in the typical form the top of the head is plumbeous and the
foretead decidedly vinaceous pink; the sides of the head and neck are clear
grey (instead of plumbeous strongly washed with vinaceous); the under-parts
uniform light grey with a scarcely perceptible rosy tinge on the foreneck (in the
typical race the foreneck and breast are strongly shaded with vinaceous, the
abdomen being dull brownish grey); there is bnt a small whitish chin-spot in
the new form, while in C. p. phimhea the chin as well as the middle of the throat
are pale " salmon-hulf " (Ridgw. iv. 19). The axillaries and under wing-coverts
are purer grey, and the bill is rather slenderer.

Type of subspecies in Triug Museum : S ad., Goyaz, No. 2040.

An immature male obtained by Mons. Robert on the Rio Jordao, in the north-
western corner of Minas Geraes, agrees well with the specimens from Goyaz.

In No. 2045 tliere are numerous spots of bnif-pink ou the nape which are
altogether absent in the two other esamjiles. The same variation is to be found iu
a series of C. p. plumbea from S. Paulo, etc.

The true C. p. plumbea ranges from Santa Catharina to Bahia. I am unable
to find any constant differences between specimens from Rio (typical j/lumbea),
S. Paulo, and Bahia. Hence, C. locntrix Wied* and C.infuscata Licht. t become
strict synonyms of C p. plumbea.

I am unable to separate the Brazilian birds from the typical Chilian form.
The specimens from Para, Santarem, etc., however, constitute an easily recog-
nisable race, being characterised by its smaller size, mnch darker nnder-snrface, and
bnffy or greyish white (not pure white) tips to the rectrices. Its proper name is

This series agrees perfectly with other specimens from Bahia and Minas (jieraes
(Rio Jordao, prov. Aragnay) collected by Mous. Alphonse Robert. The ground-
colour of the upper parts is a dull greyish brown, the black edges to the feathers
of the pilenm, nape and back are rather narrow, the foreneck very pale vinaceous,
the bill short and slender.

Birds from Venezuela (Cumana and Orinoco valley) and from Margarita
Island, of which 1 have twenty-three before me, diifer at a glance by the much
brighter, buffy or yellowish brown ground-colour of the upper parts, with much
broader black edgings to the feathers ; deeper vinaceous foreneck ; broader black
edges on the breast and abdomen ; and by having a thicker, generally also longer
bill. This very distinct form is to be called S. squammata ridgwaiji Richm. % PiS,
pointed out by Berlepsch and Hartert, there is no constant difference between
typical specimens from Margarita and those from the Venezuelan mainland.

The range of the two forms is as follows :

a. S. s. squammata (Less.).

Campos of the interior of Brazil: Bahia (Hobert ; Wucherer) ; Fernambnco
(Forbes); Goyaz (Baer); Northern S. Paulo: Irisanga, Faz. do Jose Diaz, Sitio

• Zenaida jessieae Eidgwa.v, Ptoc. U.S. Mm. x. 1887. p. 527 (1888.— Santarem).

f Les,son's name is perhaps merely a lapsus ealavii for C squamosa, but as this cannot be proved,
I think it must be accepted. If not, the Brazilian form requires a new name.

The series agrees perfectly with the adnlt bird obtained by Spix. In my
revision of Spix' types the length of the bill is erroneously given as 13, resp.
12 mm.; it should read 9, resp. 10 mm. (cf. Abhandl. Akad. Wissensch. Milnchen
ii. CI. Bd. xxii. 3. 1906. p. 697).

U. campestris is still very rare in collections, and seems to have been met with
by few collectors. Natterer obtained a good series at various localities in Goyaz,
and near Cuyabd, Mattogrosso. In the latter province two specimens were taken
by H. H. Smith, at Chapada* and Cachoeira. f Prof. Steere secured five examples
near Arare,:J: Island of Maraj(5, at the month of the Amazons. Whether these are
strictly referable to U. campestris I cannot say, having never seen a specimen from
North Brazil.

Adult males have the crest-feathers aud the thighs uniform black, while they
are spotted with white in immature specimens.

The series of the females substantially corroborates what I said about the
distinctness of C. sclateri and C. pinima Pelz.f The ujjper wing-coverts, quills,
rectrices, and the whole back are crossed by regular bars of white or pale buff, the
under-surface of the remiges is banded with white on both webs, aud the middle
of the breast, the abdomen and under tail-coverts are uniform deep ochraceons buff.

In eleven examples the crest is coloured as described by me I.e., viz. basal
fourth and apical poition of the feathers black, separated by a long band of white.
Two others, Nos. 2383 and 2415, however, have two white spots on each of the
crest-feathers, a subapical one, and another near the base. In this respect they
agree with the description and plate of Crax fasciolata Spix.J Both specimens are
immature, and differ also from the adult ones by having the throat spotted with
white. No. 2415 shows yet another character of immaturity in the light bands
on the median and greater upper wing-coverts being much broader and deeper
lu colour, buff (instead of creamy-white). Though it now seems possible that
C. Jasciolata might have been based upon an immature female of C sclateri, I shall

not accept the name for the present species until its occurrence in the districts
traversed by Spix' expedition has been proved.

In several examples (of both sexes) runs a narrow groove on each side of
the beak from the nasal fossa to near its point, in some others this is barel}-
indicated, and in others there is no trace of it to be seen. This character thus
appears to be purely individual, and I fear G. sulcirostris Ihering * is nothing but
the female of C. sclateri.

The males have the basal half of the bill bright yellow, abruptly defined
against the blackish terminal ])ortion ; in the females the bill is uniformly dusky
except a small, dnll j ellowisli j)atch near the base of the lower mandible.

C. sclateri is still rare in collections, and has been met with by a few
naturalists only. The late J. Natterer obtained a good series at various places
in Mattogrosso,t Mr. R. Rohde sent a female from the Rio Pilcomayo,| and the
Tring Museum possesses a female secured by Dr. Bohls in Paraguay.

Mons. Baer has furnished the following observations about this little-known
species :

" Pendant les sept premiers mois de mon voyage d'exploration dans I'etat de
Goyaz je u'ai rencontre^ ij^u'une seule fois un couple de Crax sclateri, k la Fazenda
Esperanqa, sur le rio Uruhu, et j'ai reussi a tuer la ?. Plus tard, sur les bords du
rio Araguaya et des diverses lagunes avec lesquelles il commuuitj^ue j'ai pu capturer
uu certain nombre- d'autres Crax sclateri (J<J et ¥ ?, adultes pour la plupart, en
parcouraut pendant un mois en cauot, avec I'aide de deux iudieus Karajas, ce fieuve
et les laguues voisines.

" En descendant le rio Araguaya, a partir de la ville de Leopoldiua, on ne
rencontre pendant les vingt premieres legoas que trgis habitations, des fermes
s'occupant de I'elevage du betail, mais quoique la region soit presque inhabitde, le
Crax sclateri est rare et difficile k d^couvrir et it tuer ; il est tres farouche et se
tient par paires isolees dans les fourres les plus epais, que les buissous epineux et les
lianes enchevetr^es rendent presque impenetrables. Heureusement je suis arriv^
dans cette region dans la periode des amours pendant laquelle le male trahit sa
presence par son cri, qu'il fait entendre surtout le matin et le soir, quelquefois la
nuit ; c'est un grondemeut sourd ressemblant an bruit que fait entendre un lourd
chariot dans le lointain.

" Les br^siliens dounent au Crax le uom de Muttim, d'origine tupi yuarany,
qui rappelle son cri ; chez les indiens Karajas il est appel6 Kurity.

" Les Crax sclateri vont souvent par terre pour manger des herbes et des
graines ; j'ai trouve dans leur jabot des fragments de leuilles et d'herbes, des
semences et de petits fruits arroudis et durs k surface cloisonnee {Myratactx ?).
J'ai conserve plusieurs de ces fruits d'oii il est sorti un petit col^opt^re de la
famille des Bruchidae, connu sous le nom de Spermophagas jatayensis Pic. Dans
I'estomac de ces Crax j'ai aussi rencontre quelques petites pierres.

" Les indiens pretendent que cet oiseau se rend quelquefois dans les plantations
pour manger du mais et des haricots.

" Le 17 aout j'ai trouvS sur les bords de I'Araguaya un nid de Crax sclateri,
forme de branches et garni de brindilles, de feuilles, de lichens et d'herbes ; il se
trouvait place sur uu arbre k uue assez grande e^levatiou.

This series doubtless represents a form distinct from P. c. cumanensis, of which
there are twenty specimens in Mr. Rothschild's Museum at Tring. The Goyaz
birds differ from the typical race by having the lower throat, foreneck and wattle
bright reddish orange, chin and upper throat alone being slaty-blackish. More-
over, the upper jiarts are darker, more steel-green (instead of bronze-green), this
being especially noticeable on the upper tail-coverts, and the mantle is mixed
with purple feathers.

The birds sent by Mons. Baer agree well with Reicheubach's original description
and plate, except that on the latter the naked skin at the base of the wattle
is represented as blue, while it is reddish orange in our sijecimens.

When lately in Vienna I examined Natterer's series of this group, and found
an adult cJ from Manaqueri, R. Solimoens, and a young male from Sangradouro,
Mattogrosso, likewise to belong to nattereri. The adults of this form always
possess a large rounded wattle, joined to the throat for the whole of its length,
and resembling a dewlap ; in young birds the wattle is much smaller.

In the shape of the wattle P. c. cumanensis agrees with P. c. nattereri, but all

( !>7 )

the naked portions of the throat and t'oreneck are slate-blackish (upper throat
aznre bluish in life, according to Cherrie).

In Western Mattogrosso, on the headr^uarters of the Rio Madeira (Rio
Gaapor^), and in Paraguay, another fairly well-marked form is found. This has, like
/'. c. viimanensis, the naked skin on the throat and foreneck slatc-blackish, liut the
wattle is quite differently shaped, being a long, slender, jjendulous caruncle. In
the Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, xiv. No. cv. (March 1904) p. 60, I first pointed out the
distinctness of this race, but called it erroneously P. nattereri. As I have ascertained
now, its proper name is P. cumanetisis grai/i Pelz. (see below).

The characters and ranges of the three forms may be summarised as follows :

(a) P. cumanensis cumanensis (Jacqu.).

i ad. General colour bronze-green. Naked jjortions on throat and foreneck,
including wattle, slate-blackish (in life " azure-bluish or indigo blue, shading
into slate-black on Ljwer part of throat and on wattle " — Cherrie, Goodfellow,
Hoffmanns).

Wattle large, rounded, resembling a dewlaii, and joined to the throat for the
whole of its length.

? and juv. (?). Like the male, but the wattle wanting or very little
developed.

N.B. — I have not been able to make out whether the development of the
wattle depends on sex, age, or season. The six sexed females (Orinoco, Caura,
Takutu River, and Chnchurras) have a very small wattle or none at all, but several
males in perfect plumage, for instance, one from Coca, Rio Napo, and three from
the Caura River, show no trace of it either. A male in change of plumage
(Marabitanas — Natterer coll.) has just a slight indication of a shallow fold on
the middle of the lower throat.

S ¥ ad. General colour darker, more steel-green than in P. c. cumanensis,
and mixed with purple on the mantle. Chin and upper throat slaty-blackish, lower
throat, foreu«ck, and large, rounded wattle, shaped as in the preceding form, bright
reddi.sh-orange.

N.B. — No. 222.1, marked " ? " b}- Mons. Baer, has the wattle fully as large as
the sexed male, and No. 2344. An adult male from Manaijueri is practically
identical with those from Goyaz. An immature male from Saugrador, referred
to by Pelzeln* as Penelope yrai/i, with a very small wattle, is not different
either.

P. c. cumanensis ; on the middle of the lower throat a long, slender, pendulous
caruncle, apparently dull yellowish with dusky tip.

Vienna Museum, d ad., Rio Gnapore, Ilha do Carvalho, July 21, 1829.
Natterer coll. ; ? , " Flussreise von Mattogrosso "—Natterer coll.

N.B. — Pelzeln proposed P. yrayi merely as a new name for P. jacquinii Gray
(nee Reichenbach), and, therefore, it is of no importance that one of the specimens
of Natterer's turns out to belong to P. c. nattereri. The example from " Peru "
described by Gray, which must be considered as the type of P. grayi, and the
male from the Rio Guapore, agree in every respect with our Paraguay bird,
characterised by me I.e. s. n. P. nattereri.

The female from Mattogrosso in the Vienna Museum is slightly intermediate
between grayi and nattereri, but nearer the former.

Mr. Grant t remarks that the series of P. cumanensis in the British Museum
seemed to indicate that the characters of P. nattereri (rectius qrai/i) as given by
me were not of specific value. I am unable to understand this, for, as shown
above, the few specimens in the British Museum fully bear out my conclusions,
arrived at by the examination of a far larger amount of material than Mr. Grant
has ever seen.

This specimen is practically iJeutical with one of Pelzeln's types iu the
British Museum collection. The stiff frontal plumes aud a narrow, hot distinct,
superciliary streak are black; the top of the head and the hindueck dark lirown
with a slight rufescent tinge, the feathers of the forehead, vertex, and sides of
the crown beiug distinctly edged with white laterally ; malar region and ear-coverts
dark brown ; foreneck very dark chestnnt-brown ; breast and abdomen clear
chestnut, the feathers of the foreneck and breast with broad lateral edges of white.
The mantle is decidedly bronze-green, the fesithers of the upper back as well as the
lesser and median upper wing-coverts are broadly margined with white on each
side, while those of the greater series have but a very narrow, rufescent white edge
along the outer web. There is no wattle on the throat. This species has never
been met with again since Natterer's time. The present specimen extends it»
range considerably to the east.

ON THE BIEDS OF CAYENNE.

By HANS GRAF VON BERLEPSCH.

ALTHOUGH birds of French Guiana have been known since the days of the
great French ornithologist Mathnrin Jacques Brisson, who, in his excellent
work Ornithologiu* described about one hundred species of birds from (Cayenne ;
and although birds from that country Bince that time till now have been largely
and regularly imported to France and other parts of Europe, no complete
account of Cayenne birds has ever been published.

It was, therefore, with much pleasure that I received the invitation of my
friend Dr. Ernst Hartert to work out the collection of bird-skins made in Cayenne
l)y Mr. George K. Cherrie, from October 1902 to the end of January 1903, which
is deposited in Dr. Walter Rothschild's Museum at Tring.

Mr. George K. Cherrie, well known by his successful expeditions to Costarica
and the Orinoco countrj^, and also as an author of many important ornithological
papers, arrived at Cayenne on Sejitember 30, 1902, and collected there assiduously
during about four months, he having been assisted in this work by Mr. Benjamin
T. Gault. The result of this collecting was a gain of thirteen hundred well-
prepared bird-skins, which were all sent to me for examination.

Unfortunately, at the end of January 1903 Mr. Cherrie was. attacked by
diarrhoea, and was compelled to leave Cayenne for Georgetown, in British
Guiana, where he went to the hospital in order to recover from his illness. He
improved rapidly, but did not think it well to return to Cayenne, as at that
time things were not favourable for his purposes, there being a great gold
excitement in Cayenne, and therefore the living had become very expensive
(" owing to the gold excitement the price of canoe travel up the rivers is
prohibitive for a luckless bird collector ").

On the whole he was satisfied with the ornis of Cayenne, and found the
country very rich both in species and individuals. He thinks he has never seen
such a variety of " Ant-Thrushes," both in individuals and species, as in the
neighbourhood of the Appronague lliver. He says, " I realise that I have barely
begun the work in French Guiana."

As a curious fact how far bird-protection has proceeded in British Guiana,
the following extract from a letter by Mr. Geo. K. Cherrie to Mr. Hartert might
well be made known :

" I wrote you December 1st that I was forwarding you a shipment on that
date, which indeed I thought I had done, as I turned the boxes over to the agents
of the French mail steamer, who were to send them as far as Demerara and
there trans-ship by the Royal Mail for England. When I wrote yon on
January 22nd, after my return from the Appronague, I was still ignorant that my
boxes had not been forwarded ! A day or two later I was informed by the
steamship agents that my consignment could not be sent via Demerara, as the
Royal Mail would not accept bird-skins from that port owing to local laws
prohibiting ox])orlation of bird-skins 1

* iSi.i vols., publisilieil .at I'.ii-is, KCO,

( 104 )

" When I left I 'a)'enne for Georgetown I took the collection with me as
personal bagtrage, tliinking I wonld be able to ship the same from the latter
point. For I had not half believed the story that the Royal Mail would not
accept the shipment — inasmuch as the collection was not made in Demerara.
Bnt I found it actually true, and was comjiellcd to bring the entire collection
to New York in order to ship to England."

Under these circumstances ornithologists may congratulate themselves that
some twenty years ago Mr. Whitely had made extensive collections in British
Guiana, and that they were worked out by the late Osbert Salvin, as other-
wise the prospects of getting birds from there for scientific purjioses are not
very promising.

In order to make the list of Cayenne birds as complete as possible, I have
added in brackets all the species which, though not collected by Mr. C'herrie,
are otherwise stated to be inliabitants of that country.

8ome generalities about the birds of (.'ayeune shall be given at the end of
this article, or else at a later date in a separate paper.

The " Black Gros-Beak " of Edwards is the base for Loxia angolensis Linn.
In Nor. Zool. i-x. 1902. p. 25, Berlepsch and Hartert have substituted " Surinam " as
the typical locality for this species, which Edwards believed to have come from
Angola. Nevertheless it now appears to rae that Edwards' bird must have come
from Brazil, and consequently I have substituted " Ceara, Brazil " as tlie tyjiical
locality for it. In fact, there are other cases where Edwards says that his birds
have come from the " Portuguese Settlements " on the coast of Angola, while in
reality they were of Brazilian origin (as in the case of Guiraca ci/anra). Also
Edwards' figure looks more like the thick lulled Brazilian form of this species.

Cayenne specimens as well as those from British Guiaua, Upper Amazons and
Colombia differ from the birds coming from Bahia and Rio, iu having a much
shorter and altogether smaller bill. It also seems to me that northern birds,
as a rule, have the abdomen of a somewhat darker chestnut, and have the
white alar speculum less extended. But these differences are not constant, I think.

Sjiecimeiis from Cayenne agree nearly perfectly with an adult bird from
Callacate, N. Peru (coll. J. Slolzmann), which 1 think must be true andinus Tacz.
described from Junin, C. Peru. The Callacate bird only difi'ers in having the wings
and the tail a little longer. There is no difference between the Cayenne birds
and two skins from Puerto Caliollo, Veuez., in Mus. H. v. B.

Specimens from Guayaquil, W. Ecuador (J7. b. punensis Lawr.), diller in
having a much more elongated bill and in presenting very well-detined and broad
white wing-bands on the upper wing-coverts.

( 129 )

A specimen from Vera Paz, Guatemala, which I take to be true M. brachi/tarsus,
differs from all the last-named birds in having the pileum of a much browner and
the back of a more greenish shade (less blackish on the head and less greyish on
the back), and in having the middle line of the breast of a pure yellowish white
with no greyish suffusion, the sides of the breast being also more brownish, less
greyish. A Bogota skin seems to agree best with the bird from Guatemala.

As far as I can see, Bonaparte's description of his Planchesia Juliginosa,
based on specimens collected in Cayenne by M. Deplanches, agrees with Cherrie's
specimens ; nevertheless an examination of the type-specimen in the Museum at
Caen is most desirable. In the case tliat Planchesia fuliginosa Bp. is identical
with our species, the generic term Myiockanes Cab. & Heine would become a
synonym of Planchesia Bp.

Muscicapa fuliginosa Gml. ex PI. Enl. 574. f. 1 (=: Masricapa arausia
V. L. S. Mull.) seems to be quite a dilfereut bird. At least I am unable to recognise
our Myiockanes in the " Gobe-mouche bruu de Cayenne " of Buffon and Daubenton.

The Empidochanes from Cayenne has the npper parts of a very dark
coloration, being blackish brown or smoke-brown instead of rufous-brown as in
true E. fuscatus from Bahia. The mandible is also darker, more blackish than
iw E. fuscatus. The rufous wing-bands are generally narrower and darker, more
olivaceous rnfous-brown instead of clear rufons-brown.

Specimens from Para agree perfectly with the Cayenne birds, while specimens
from the Upper Amazous (Yquitos) and from Alta Gracia on the Orinoco differ in
having the abdomen nearly white, but slightly tinged with yellowish. In this way
they agree with E. f. himaculatus (Lafr. & D'Orb.) from Bolivia and Mattngrosso,
but have the upper parts much darker, just as in the Cayenne bird.

E. f cabanisi (L^ot.) from Trinidad, coast region of Venezuela and Colombia
(Bogotd collections), has the upper parts of a much clearer olivaceous-brown. It
agrees with E. f fumosus in having a blackish mandible.

by having the greater and middle wing-coverts and the tertiaries broadly margined

former never shows the cuviou.s reduction in size of the three first primaries, these
being of the normal shape in L. spicifer.

The single specimen of this rare species collected by Mr. Gherrie agrees with
Pelzeln's type in the Vienna Museum, with which I have compared it. It only
differs in having the reddish brown of the throat a little paler (not so reddish)
and not extended over the upper breast. The abdomen is also a little paler,
more olivaceous, less brownish. The upper Iparts are somewhat darker, more
blackisb ; the njiper tail-coverts are of a somewhat darker chestnut. The rufous
brown of the under tail-coverts is more intense.

are in no way different. Specimens from Pto. Cabello have the back of a much

but agree best with the Pto. Cabello birds. Nevertheless there is much variation

The Cayenne specimens of this form collected by Mr. Cherrie differ from
F. consobrina Scl. from W. Ecuador, with which Mr. Sclater has associated his
Cayenne bird, by Laving much smaller rounded white spots on the tips of the
larger upper wing-coverts, these spots being not much larger than those on the
middle and smaller coverts, while in F. consobrina as well as in the allied i^. boucardi
and F. qtiixensis they are very much larger, forming a large white area on the
wing. This difference is to be seen in both sexes. Otherwise the Cayenne form
resembles F. consobrina Scl. of Colombia, and presents the same long white tips to
the outer tail-feathers, while F. boucartii has them very much shorter.

As far us lean judge from a single iVmale of /^. consobrina from Chimbo,
W. Ecuatlor, in my collection, the Cayenue I'emales have the under-parts of a some-
what lighter rufous brown, and are more blackish, less greyish on the front.

There is a good deal of individual variation, as illustrated by the specimens
composing the series now before me. Some individuals have the nj)per wing-
coverts of a nearly uniform black, while others have them slightly tipped or
margined with white ; others show but very slight traces of the white apical
margins, and are perfectly intermediate between those with the uniform black
wing-coverts and those with the white-tipped coverts.

The primary coverts as well as the feathers of the aluhi iu some specimens
show broad white margins to the outer webs, while these margins are either
altogether absent or bnt slightly indicated in other individuals of the series.
C nigrcscens is a near ally oi Pijrhjleim serva Scl., but the latter, as lately shown
by Dr. Hellmayr, is also a Gercomacra and not a Pyriglena at all. Dr. Sclater
had already placed a female of C nigrescens under the head of C serta (viz.

(?. Similar to P. u. telegonus. The black marginal area of the hindwing much
narrower than in telegonus, measuring much less in width between the veins
than the discal portion of the blue area (from the cell to the outer edge of the area) ;
the two upper blue stripes present, but those situated in telegonus at the third radial

and at the two median veins are absent. The proximal margin of the grey

triangular discal area of the forewing beneath evenly curved, almost straight,
not being curved basad near the lower angle of the cell.

A REVISION OF THE GENUS CALAMOCICRLA Sharpe.
By OSCAU NEUMANN.

THE species placed in the genns Calamocichla are most nearlj' related to some
of the geiiTis Aci-ocephalus, sucli as A. bai'ticatus, streperus, palustris,
and stentoreus. They resemble them iu strnctnre, in habits, and mostly also in
coloration, the well-developed first primary being the only generic character to
distinguish the two genera. If there was not a trne Acrocephalus, viz. .1. bai'ticatus,
l)reeding in Sonth and East Africa, one would be justified to consider the species
of Calamocichla the representatives of Acrocephalus in Africa. One of the species
of the group, Calamocichla gracilirostris Hartl., has hitherto been kept separate
from the other members on account of its somewhat narrower and shorter first
primary, and was dealt with as Lusciniola gracilirostris in vol. v. of the Catalogue
of Birds, while leptorhyncha, newtoni, and brevipennis are to be found in different
places in vol. vii. In a work even of such standing as Reichenow's Vogel A/rihas,
gracilirostris and the other species are still dealt with under different genera.
Sharpe, iu Hand-list of Birds, vol. iv. p. 206, is the first to give gracilirostris its
right place.

Another very interesting fact is the striking external resemblance of some of
the species of Calamocichla to one species of the Pgcnonotidae, viz. Phgllostrephas
strepitans of Reichenow. This resemblance was the cause of a rather amusing
confusion. Firstly, one species of Calamocichla, viz. parva, was originally described
by Fischer and Reichenow as a Phyllostrephus. Ten years later Reichenow
corrected this error in his Vogel von Deutsch Ost Afrika, and again, ten years later
(1904), the same author redescribed his Phyllostrephus strcjiitaiis, vi\i\c\x\s mdeeA
a true Phyllostrephus, as Calamocichla schillingsi. Shelley had already redescribed
the Phyllostrephus strepitans as Phyllostrephus sharpei in 1880, and eight years
laisT {P.Z.S. 1888, p. 24) he employed that name for four specimens of a large
form of a true Calamocichla. Sharpe, Hand-list, vol. iv. p. 200, corrected this
mistake to a certain extent, but erroneously identified this large Calamocichla with
griseldis Hartl., which is another mistake, as griseldis is a true Acrocephalus.
That such mistakes as these could be made by the three foremost living authorities
on African Ornithology shows that the genus is a rather difficult one to deal with.

In working out the species a still greater diiliculty is encountered than the
external similarity to Acrocephalus and Phyllostrephus, it being an interesting but
embarrassing fact that the female of a larger species sometimes resembles the
male of the next smaller one. Further, in the West African forms the adult
birds are mostly grey above and below, and the young birds are rufous or
yellowish brown, while in the East African forms the differences in coloration
between j'oung and adult specimens are not so striking.

The Genus Calamocichla was founded by Sharpe in the Cataloque of Birds,
vol. vii. p. 131, where he gives no description, but simply unites under this name
two species, newtoni aud brevipennis. The definition of the genus is, however,
to be found in the key to the Genera of Bradypteri, pp. 93 and 94. This key fits
very well brecipennis and all other species of Calamocichla from tropical Africa,

( 245 )

bnt not Calamocichla iiewtoni from Madagascar, which has the tail not about eijiial
in length to the wing, bat always much longer, the length of the tail exceeding
that of the wing by about 8 — 13 mm., in adult specimens. The tail of G. newtoni
is more graduated, so that the bird is intermediate in structural characters between
Calamocichla and Nesillds Obcrh. {= Klli.^id Hartl.), while the streaks on the
throat, being always present, give the bird a resemblance to Bradijpterm
braclii/pterus. I therefore think that the bird cannot be included in the genus
Calamocichla, and accordingly create for it the genus

Hemiellisia gen. no v.

Type : Calamoherpe newtoni Hartl.

Characters : Similar in external character to Calamocichla, but the tail fiir
more graduated, decidedly longer than the wing, though the difference in length
is not so great as in Nesillas.

The other species remain united under the generic term Calamocichla, of
which the type is Calamodijta brecipennis Keulemaus.

The Genus Calamocichla may shortly be described as follows : Similar in all
characters to Acrocephalus, but the first primary well developed and not rudimentary.
Wing rounded, especially in brcvipennis, more pointed in gracilirostris. Fourth
or filth i|uill longest, or both equal in lengtli. First (luill about half the length
of the second, being a little shorter in gracilirostris and ziiliiensis.

Distribution : Tropical Africa, from Capetown to Northern Abyssinia * in the
East, and to Fernando Po in the West, and Cape Verde Islands.

I do not pretend that the results arrived at in this revision are in every way
satisfactory. I cannot even say whether two of the species of Calamocichla occur
side by side in one and the same geographical province, the two species which
appear to occur together in East Africa, viz. parca and leptorhyncha, being the
most difiicult to distinguish, as the female of the former is extremely similar to
the male of the latter.

I found that the length of the hindclaw, as compared with that of the wing,
is a good character by which the different species can be distinguished. I have
omitted to give the length of the culmen, which is difficult to take in these birds,
and is seldom measured in the same way by different ornithologists.

The length of the hindclaw is taken in a straight line from the basal ventral
edge to the tip.

The adult bird (poensis dress) similar to C. ansorgei, but paler above and
below and with shorter wing and hindclaw. The younger bird {plebeja dress) has
the upperside more rufous brown, especially the rump and the sides of body, flanks,
and thighs, which are grey in the adult, are yellowish fawn.

In the type of rufescens, which might be a still younger stage, the upperside,
especially the edges of wing and tail, are still more rufous and the dark parts of
the underside ochraceous.

Tlie adult Fernando Po birds are slightly paler than the adult Kamerun
birds and have the bills slightly shorter (for about one-half to one millimetre).

But as the length of wing, tarsns, and hindclaw is about the same in the
three forms, I think it better to unite the birds from Landana, South Kamerun,
and Fernando Po under the same name. The narrow light ajiical edge on the
tail-feathers of the type of poensis, which Reichenow {Vdgel Afrikas, vol. iii.
p. 574) makes a distinguishing character between plebeja and poensis, is of course
only a sign of a very fresh plumage.

Calamocichla jacksoni Nenm.

Calamnrichla jackaoui Neiim., Oni. MMialsber. 1901. p. 18o [Ntebbi].

In 1001 I described a specimen from Ntebbi under this name as follows :
" Similar to C. leptorhi/ncha, but somewhat smaller, with the bill more slender.
Colonr of the npperside mnch lighter, pale yellowish brown, not earthy brown,
very light on lower back and rnmp. Underside greyish white, suffnsed with
yellow."

I believed at that time that the species was somewhat smaller than lepto-
rkyncha, bnt having now had an occasion of examining a large series of Calamocichla,
collected by F. Jackson at ISJtebbi, in different years, I came to the conclusion
that the bird described as jacltsoni is a very yonng bird of a species which is
not smaller than leptorkyncha bnt larger, approaching in size C. parva, being
distinguished from this species by its more greyish brown and less fulvous brown
npperside and by its greyish underside. I arrived at that conclusion as no adult
specimen of the smaller size was ever got at Ntebbi, at which place all these
grey birds were collected. All the specimens, of which the measurements are
given below, were obtained at Ntebbi, the three marked with an * being in
the British Museum, the others in Mr. Jackson's private collection.

eqnal in size. It seems to me that both species occur in East Africa side by side,
from Lake Znai in Southern Ethiopia to the Zambesi, though in German and
British East Africa C. parva occurs in the higher elevated regions, while
C. leptorkyncha is mostly found in the lowlands, and is the only one which occurs
in the coast regions of the Indian Ocean. The specimen from Lake Zuai has a

is a specimen collected by Wilke in the Berlin Museum, to the Zambesi. There
are, however, slight ditferences in the coloration.

The type, and specimens from the Zambesi, have some white on the lores,
which is almost entirely absent in the specimens from Karema, Kagehi, Bukoba,
and North-East Africa. Bnt as also some individual variation occurs in this
character, no exact line can be drawn.

In none of the specimens is the white of the lores so distinct as in Calamocichla
cunenensis, gracilirostris and zuluensis.

Acrocephalus baeticatus. The second was collected by C. H. B. Grant in Inbambane,
Mozambique. Without examination of the wing Acrocephalus baeticatus and
Calamocichla ziduensis resemble eaeh other far more than Ph/lloMrephus
strepitans and Calamocichla parva. The coloratiou and size of tlie bill arc
absolutel)' the same in both species.

This new form is intermediate between C. leptorh/ncha and C. gracilirostris.
It has the small size of the former, bnt the coloration of the latter. The lores
are pure white, and the white is continued above the eye as in ffi-acil/rost>-is and
cunenensis, not slaty whitish as in leptorhyncha. The first primary is shorter
than in leptorhijncha and narrowed iu its terminal half It is a little less than
half of the second.

This bird is distributed from South Mozambique to Zaluland, and probably
to Natal, east of the Drakensberg Mountains, where it may replace C. gi-acilirostris.
I have seen many specimens of true c/racilirosfris from Newcastle, west of the
Drakensberg Range, but none from the coast regions of Natal.

Calamocichla gracilirostris Hartl.

Ciilamolwrpe (jraciliroslris Hartl., Ihis 18C4. p. 348 [Natal].

Above russet or fulvous brown, brighter on the rump, upper tail-coverts, and
edges of wings, below nearly white, slightly washed with yellowish buff on the
flanks. Lores and eye-streak white.

Bnt for the pure white lores and eye-streak this species resembles very much
lighter specimens of C. leptorhijncha and the rufons dress of C. brevipennis, but
gracilirostris and zuluensis are distinguished from all other species of Calamocichla
by the shape of the first primary, >which is narrowed in its terminal part, and
somewhat pointed. It is somewhat less in length than half the second.

The bill is not quite so broad as in most of the other species.

This species never gets a grey dress, such as all the West African forms
of Calamocichla , as well us jachsoi/i, acquire at a certain season.

It is of far less wide distribution than is stated by Seebohm, Cat. Birds,
vol. vii. p. 122, Reiclienow, Vdgel Africas, iii. p. 583, W. L. Sclater, Stark's
Birds of South Africa, vol. ii. p. 102, all these authors having accepted as correct
the statements by various authors who recorded other species of Calamocichla
under this name.

It is distributed over South Africa from Capetown northwards to Omam-
bonde, near Otavi, in the west, and to South Transvaal and Western Natal iu
the east, that means high up the Orange River system. Bnt it does not appear
to occur in the lower Limpopo River,* nor in the coast region of Natal, east of
the Drakensberg Range, from where 1 have not seen a single specimen, and
wbere it may be replaced by the similar bnt much smaller C. zuluensis.

As, however, I only know two specimens of G. zuluensis, the task to
clear up this question must be left to our friends of the South African Ornitho-
logists' Union.

* From the wliolc Limpopo system I have seen only one small specimen from the Matlabas River,

( 250 )

I am well aware that Calamoherpe gracilirostris has beeu described from
Natal, bnt no exact locality is given, and the measurements point to the larger
bird, wing 3.02 = 76 mm., which, indeed, occurs still plentifully at Newcastle.
It is impossible to employ for this bird the name of Si/ln'a babaecula Vieill.,
founded on "La Caijneteuse " of Levaillant, which lias dirty black jiatches on
the chest and breast, and ver\- probably is the Dnidi/jiterug, later called harratti
by Sharps, as Reicheuow, Vogel Afrikas, iii. p. 680, has correctly pointed out.

1 have examined no less than thirty-eight specimens of this species, all of
which, with the exception of three specimens in Tring, aTe in the British Slusenm.

Seventeen specimens from Potchefstroom and six specimens from Newcastle
have the following measurements :

2 <?(?, wing 75| — 78 (80 in two cases), tail 07 — 73 (75 in two cases),
tarsus 27 — 29, hindclaw 8— S^ mm.; 2 ??, wing 72 — 74, tail 07 — 73, tarsus
27—29, hindclaw 8— 8i mm.

Two specimens from Capetown have the wing 72^70, tail 70 — 75, tarsus
26i— 28, hindclaw 8— 8| mm.

Two specimens from the Berg River (Cape Colony) : wing 71 — 72, tail (worn)
C6— 68, tarsus 28, hindclaw H\ mm.

Two specimens from Omambonde, near Otavi, German South West Africa :
wing, c? 72, ? 68, tail 67, 69, tarsus 27, hindclaw 7J mm.

Four specimens from Sir W. Jardine's collection without exact locality :
wing 09, 09A, 70j, 75, tail 65, 67, 70, 71, tarsus 27, 28, Iiindclaw 8} mm.

The only specimen from the Limpopo System belongs to the Tring
Museum. ? Matlabas River (Erickssou coll.): wing 71, tail 66, tarsus 26i,
hindclaw 8.

Three specimens from Sir Andrew Smith's collection : wing 70, 72, 76,
tail 62, 64, 72, tarsus 27, 28, hindclaw 8, broken in the red specimen, 8i in
the others.

I cannot say, of course, whence the birds out of the Jardine collection
came, nor where Sir Andrew Smith collected his specimens, bnt they seem to
belong to a slightly smaller form than the specimens from Potchefstroom and
Newcastle.

As to the coloration, the two Omambonde specimens are slightly paler on
the underside than most of the others, while two of Sir Andrew Smith's speci-
mens, as well as some of Sir William Jardine's birds, are very dark rufous.

Calamocichla cunenensis Hart.

Calamocichla cunenensis Hart., B. B. 0. C. vol. xiii. (U)03). p. 02.

In this species the whole lores are white, and this colour is extended to above
the eyes. It diflers from L. gracilirostris, which it resembles in that respect, in
having the upper side more grey and less fulvous or rnsset-brown, and in the
under.side being practically white and crop and sides of the body slightly washed
with grey. A second specimen from Benguella has the upperside a little more
fulvous than the type, but still less so than 5fmc27»-os<;-2.9, the sides of body, belly,
and under tail-coverts being slightly washed with very pale buff. In both specimens
the first ])rimary is as broad as in the northern species of Calamocichla. Distribu-
tion from the Cunene to Benguella.

Both specimens belong to the Tring Museum. Neither of them is sexed. It
is possible that the second belongs to another form than the type, considering that
its wings are smaller, while the tarsus is 2 mm. longer.

A fine series of ten specimeus of this species is before me. There is one co-type
of Dohrn's in the British Museum and ten specimens collected by Capt. Boyd
Alexander, six of which are out of his private collection, two from the British
and two from the Tring Museum.

Some of the specimens resemble the bird described by Sharpe in the Catalogue
of Birds, vol. vii. p. 1 32. In this plumage the upperside is russet-brown, more
rufous on rump, upper tail-coverts, and edges of wings. The chin, throat, and
middle of belly are white, the remainder of the underside is more or less suffused
with yellowish buff. In this dress, which seems to be that of the young bird,
the species strongly resembles 0. le.ptorhyncha.

Some of the birds are ashy grey above, with only a slight indication of fulvous
on the rump, edges of wing and tail. The parts of the underside which in the
young stage are yellowish buff are pale brownish grey. Some birds are intermediate
between these stages.

All these birds are collected in February and April. Two birds obtained during
the breeding season in November are very much worn. They are nearly pure ashy
grey above and almost white below, only the sides of the body being slightly
washed with grey.

If the sections are correct, which I much doubt, thei'<» is no difference in size

which it is about equal in size, it seems to difler l)y its very pale coloration, but
unfortunately the five specimens available for comparison are iu much worn
condition. They are all in Captain Boyd Alexander's private collection.

2. Polyptychus baxteri spec. uov.

c??. Body and wings viuaceons; nppcrside of head, thorax, and of forewing
shaded with grey. Second segment of palpns large, joint between first and second
open. Tibiae spinose, upperside of mid- and hindtibiae white. A difi'use central
line over thorax and occiput blackish chestnut. Forewing with even distal margin,
the apex being pointed, bnt not produced ; two oblique blackish chestnut lines from
costal margin, the first at basal fourth, extending to hindmargin near angle, the
second in middle, vanishing on disc in a cloud of brown scaling ; a short third line

at costal margin halfway between the second and the tip of the wing. Apex of

liiudwing rounded, distal margin even, except that the anal angle is iiroduced,
this angle brown.

Underside : outer two-fifths of forewing washed with brown, within this brown

area traces of one or two lines. Hindwing with two thin lines across ilisc, the

outer one being dentate.

Apex of cell of hindwing very obliipie, the second radial near lower angle.

the tibia is broad.

Forewing narrower, the distal margin distinctly concave, tlie apex being

produced. Hindwing blackish, anal angle j)roduced, the black anal dot nearer

the distal edge than in nigriplaga ; the fringe without distinct dots ; an elongate
patch before abdominal margin deeper black than in nigriplaga.

Underside blackish brown, distal marginal area of forewing grey, markings as
in nigriplaga, bnt the submarginal dots and on hindwing also the submarginal
anal line nearer the edge.

Genitalia similar to those of nigriplaga, bnt the clasper ventrally widened from
base to two-thirds, then abruptly narrowed, remaining however wider at the apex
than in nif/riplaqu ; just beyond the widened ventral portion a thoni-like tooth
pointing obli<piely ventrad, being much more proximal than in nigriplaga ; process
of penis-sheath as long as in nigriplaga, but broader, bearing a small tooth at
the dilated tip.

In outline and markings also similar to P. muri/iug ; but in the latter species
the nnderside of the hindwing is rufous, and the genitalia are quite different.
We have mxrinus from the Gold Coast and the Congo, and there are specimens
of it from Kamerun in the Staudinger coUeetion.

4. Temnora woUastoni spec. nov.

Iponsin, R. Approuagne : 1 <? ad., January 8, 1903.

* Phaethorniv rupurmnii Boucard, of British Guiana, has not yet been detected in Cayenne, but as we
know that a nearly allied form — viz. Ph. rtijntruiuil amazimua Hellm. — occurs on the Lower Amazon, it is
not unlikely that either the former or tlie latter may be an inhabitant of Cavenne.

t As pointed out by me long ago (Journ. f. Orn. IHSK. p. :^ nota), there is no doubt that the Trochitnx
superciliosus Linne, founded on Brisson's description, is tlie small species with short and curveti bill,
named Ph. fratereulns by Gould. It is true that Brissnn's description of tlie under tail-coverts suits
better tlie large species with the straight long bill (viz. Ph. mahiris Xordm.), but Brisson's measure-
ments and figure leave no doubt that the object of his description belonged to the small species,

Two adult birds marked ? ? (frona October 24 and 25) generally agree with
the adult males, but have the green throat shield replaced by dull blackish feathers,
with bluish-green margins to the tips of some of them ; other specimens marked
? ? have the uuderparts white with a broad black longitudinal band from the
throat to the vent. Two ? ? of November 15, 21, have the sides of the throat
strongly waslied with rufous, while others from October 24 and November 29 show
not the slightest trace of a rufous wash. The latter are evidently fully adult birds,
as are also the females with the dark underparts, and another with the rufous
suffusion on the sides of the throat. At present 1 am unable to explain these
different styles of coloration.

Lesson's birds may have really come from Brazil, but 1 should think it more
probable that he had Cayenne specimens before him. An adult male in my
collection supposed to be from Brazil (of the same make as two skins of Ag/irtrla
lactea) generally agrees with the Cayenne specimens, but has tlie bill sliglitly
shorter a«d the sides of the throat more golden, the tail perhaps more greenish
black, less blue-black.

' Picumntts uiiiulatUi Hargitt from Brit. Guiana I regarci to be only subspecilically different from
P. biiffimi of Cayenne. In fact, my specimens from Brit. Guiana differ from tlie Cayenne birds only
by being more wbitisli, less yellowisb on the umler parts, and perhaps by being a little more brownisli,
less greenish, on the upper parts, with the white spots generally smaller and less distinct. The Oyapock
specimens referred to his P. imtliilatus by Mr. Hargitt should beloug to true P. bujfoni.

■j- Pijrra mhmta Linn^ is perhaps the same as Picniiinus hujfoni, but the phrase in its description :
"dorsum et alae supra griscae" is not in accordance with the ctdoration of this species, while the phrase
'* pectus flavescens lineis transversis nigris " rather speaks for the identity of Pipra iititmta with Picummts
hup'oni.

J There are two specimens of this species in my collection which were sent from Surinam direct.

* Hrllmayi- (Am-. Zuol. xiii. 1!I06. p. 41) thinlis that t'.iis species .should bear the name T. riirueiii Liim.,
but I cannot agree with him. Linne's diajmosis of T. riirucui is evidently made up after Eilwards' plate
no. 331, which is T.atricolUs Vieill. (= T. rufus Gml.).

f Trogiui curucid Linne (17GG) is a mixtum compositum, and I should think it best to droj) the
name altogetlier. Linne's diagnosis evidently rests on the figure of Edwards, which clearly represents
the male of T.ru/iis Gm. The specific name Curucui is taken from Marcgravc, who apparently describes
the male of T. rarieijalus Spix. The first synonym given by Linn*; is lirisson, who simply reproduces the
description (if tlie Curucui of Marcgrave. The synonym " Tzinitzcan Hern. mex. 23" may belong to
y. vicricanuH Swjiins. and Feuillc's P»iitiicuit Jiamvieua viridh cityrtuK rutitro scrrato is perhaps indefinable.
The habitat is given as Mexico (ex Hernand.), Brasilia (ex JIarcgr.), and Peru (ex Feiiillc).

\ MuUer's name rersieolnrits, althnui;h probably foumled on /-*/. Knl. ;i.j9, cannot be accepted, as
the altogether misleading du.^cription makes this rather doubtful. What ^liUler says about the coloration
of the tail would really apply to the coloration of the wings.

§ Although Liune's description is quite incorrect (" fronte flava, afHnis Px. aestivo, sed duplo
major"), there is no doubt that Linn4 meant this species. The phrase " temporibus fulvis " cannot be
applied to any otlier ."-pecies, alj-o the qiiotalious Uri.sson, Frisch, Marcerrave. all belong to 'uir species.

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.

When writing the first part of this article I unfortunately overlooked
M. A. Meneganx's article on the " Birds of Cayenne collected by M. Geay," whicli
appeared in the Bulletin dn Mugi'iim iThistoire natnrelle, vol. .x. 19o4, pp. 107-19,
174-80, but has not been noticed in the Ibis, nor in any other ornitliological journal
as far as I know. My friend Hellmayr having kindly supplied me with a copy of
M. Meneganx's article, I find there are some species mentioned as being collected
by M. Geay which are new to my list. Owing to the kindness of my friend, I am
now in a position to supplement my list as follows :

In another article on the " Birds of Fr^'nch Gniana," jnst published by M. A.
Menegans {Bulletin clit Mns. crflist. mif. 1007. pp. 41)3-99, 1908, pp. 8-13*), I find
the following speeies to be noteworthy :

Basileuterus mesolettciis — " nn sps^cimen."

Vireosylvia chivi — " trois spficiraens."

Vireolanitts leucotis {= V. I. chlorogash'r') — " nn specimen."

Lamprospiza melanoleuca — 1 $ ad.,' 1 S jnv.

M. Menegans states that the tyiie of this species in the Paris Mnsenm,
described by M. Vieillot, had been presented by the Empress Josephine.

Sporopliila rastaneirentris — 5 c?(J (1 jnv.).
II;/locharis sapp/iirina — 3 c?(? ad., 5 jnv., 13 ? ?.

Also Mr. Hellmayr has kindly communicated to me a list of species received
by the Mnnich Museum directly from St. Jean dn Maroui, viz. :

Sporopliila castaneiventris. Formicivora consobrina microsticta.

Flati/rinchus saturatus. Ilfrpsiloc/zmus sticturus, S ? .

Toilirostrum jjicttim. Ilypocnemis naevia.

Scotothorus amazonum wallacei.

• The artide relates to the birds sent to tlie Museum d'Histoire n.iturelle at Paris by the Governor
M. Eey.

( 321 )

At last I have found it neuossary to make some corrections, most of them
having been suggested to me by Mr. Hellmayr.

1. Hellmayr tells rae that Packysyhia In/poxanfha is not likely to occur in
Cayenne, the so-called " Guiana specimen" in the British Bluseura being really of
the well-known Orinoco make, and being referable to P. aarantii/ronH satiimta

Hellmayr, in Nov. Zool. xiii. (19fJ6) p. 357, has pointed out tliat Tmiugra
cai/ana Linne, p. 315, is the base for Calospiza ciu/ana (Linn.), and that Tanagra

4. The author for Serinopsis aroensis chapmani is Ridgway, not Alleu I

5. Sporophila misya (Vieill.) is apparently the same as Sporophila, ameiicana

in that collection.

SUMMARY.

To tlie (Wfj * species admirteJ as occurring in Frencli Guiana we may aild uhmit,
141) which, although not yet recorded from that colony, are likely to be i'onnd there.
We are therefore justified in computing the number of species inhabiting that country
to be about 766.

If we relegate the species of the hist two categories (23 + 50) to a hypothetical
list, theu we have at least

626 less 73 = 553 certain species

which are kuowu to inhabit French Guiana.

The specimens collected by Mr. Gherrie are referable to 234 species, this being
not qnite half the number of the known Cayenne species.

The following species and conspecies are peculiar to F'rench Guiana as far as we
know :

? 1. Heterocercios luteocepkalas — of doubtful occurrence in Cayenne.

2. Lipaugus immiiiuhis.

3. Automoliis obscurus.

4. Hijlexetastes perroti — replaced by a nearly allied form in the Madeira district

{fide Helimayr in litt.).
? 5. Xiphorhi/iiclias dorsoiminaculatiis — of doubtful occurrence in Cayenne.

6. Terentira eluopteryx — replaced in Surinam and British Guiana by the nearly

allied T. spodioptila.

7. Formicivora consobrinu inicrosticta — replaced by nearly allied forms in

Brazil, etc.

8. Myrmelastes melanothomx.

9. Cercomacra nigrescens.

10. Tkrenetes antoniae.

11. Pkacthornis malaris.

? 12. Tkalufunia furcata — replaced hy a nearly allied form in Brit. Guiana.

13. Thalurania scapulata.
? 14. (Montophoriis guianemis — replaced by a nearly allied form in Brit. Guiana.

The following species are apparently pecnliar to Cayenne and Surinam :

1. Todirostnim/umifroiis penardi.

2. Pipra Serena — replaced in Brit, (juiana by F. suacissima.

3. Fachyrhainpliiia gtirinaiiius.

4. Ficumiim bujfoni — replaced in Brit. Guiana lay P. bujf'oiu undulatus.
? 5. Ficumnus minutissimus.

The following species are perhaps pecnliar to the three Guianas — viz. Cayenne,
Surinam and Biit. Guiana.

1. Fachysylvia Ititeifrons.

2. Microcercu/us bambln.

3. Tanagrella velia, replaced by T. c. signata Hellm. near Para.

My best thanks are due to Mr. C. Helluiayr, Dr. E. Hartert, and M. Menegaux
for much useful information about the birds of Cayenne.

In a futnre article I hope to be able to say some more about the geographical
distribution of the Cayenne birds, and to give a summary of the literature referring
to them.

NEW THYBIDIDAE IN THE TRING MUSEUM.

By W. WARREN, M.A., F.E.S.

1. Addaea castaneata spec. nov.

Forewing : with basal area, a broad mediau fascia, aud the whole marginal
area deep chestnut-brown, with slightl}' darker transverse striae especially
along costa ; a violet purplish tinge along snbmedian interspace; the meJiau
fascia is slightly oblique, narrow at costa, swollen a little above the mediau vein
and bulged below it ; on each side of it is a whitish obliipie band, the inner one
narrow and the outer wide, with some grey strigae in their centre ; fringe brown,
blackish at apex and anal angle.

Hindwimi : similar; in the marginal brown area there appears a narrow
submarginal band, wliich is slightly visible on forewing as well ; iViugo blackish
towards apex only.

Underside similar, the contrast greater between the pale and dark areas.

Head, thorax, and abdomen all brown.

Ex])anse of wings : 2U mm.

2 6S from Milne Bay, British New Guinea, January and February 1890
(Meek).

Allied to both polyphoralis Wlk. and piisilla Butler, but entirely distinct from
either.

2. Banisia angustifascia Warr.
In yoc. Zool. vi. p. 315 (IS'j'jj I suggested that my B. angustifascia ? from
Amboina was the same species as B. maltifenestrata 6 Warr. from Humboldt
Bay, New Guinea. This identification was prcmatnre. For though angustifascia
occurs commonly in New Guinea, also in the Kei Islands and the Louisiades, yet
a good series of both sexes shows that its real c? is much more like the ¥ than
nudtifenestrata. The sexes agree in having the apical area of forewing filled np
with dai'k fuscous, a-i in Pagenstecher's nitida; but in place of the numeraus
whitish hyaline spaces which a[)pear in midlife nestrata, the S of anqasti fascia has
normally f)ur square white sjjats iu forewing aud two in the hindwiug ; the two
most prominent are placed, in the forewing, one above the other on each side of
vein 2 between the two branches of the postmedian fascia, the other two being on
the iunerside of the inner branch, but the upper one of the latter pair is very
small and often obsolete ; in the hindwiug the two spots are always above vein 2,
one on each side of the inner branch of fascia. In multifenestrata <S the apex of
forewing is of the ground colour, and there are some irregular black spots before
outer margin above the middle ; at present no ? of this form has appeared, though
an additional S from the Kumusi River has been sent, exactly like the original
2 (?(? from Humboldt Bay.

3. Banisia funesta spec nov.
Forewing : glossy Idackish fuscous with a slight olive tinge ; the bands,
which are slightly darker than the rest of wing, are placed almost exactly as in
B. angustifascia Warr.

( 326 )

Hinchring : the same.

Underside pale pearl-grey, with the reticulations olive-fuscous ; the costal
and ai)icivl areas of t'orewing are usually browner.

Head, thorax, and abdomen all blackish, like wings.

Exjianse of wings : (S 32 mm. ; ? 36 mm.

2c?J', 2 ?? from Biagi, Mambare River, British New Guinea, ri,()ijO feet,

basal vertical, with straight outer edge ; antemedian vertical, narrow at costa and
swollen below; postmedian forked narrowly at costa, then much swollen, forked
again below middle, the inner arm broad, running to two-thirds of inner margin,
with a slight angle inwardly on median vein and outwardly on vein 2, the outer
arm outcurved and much narrowed, sometimes interrupted, ending in a triangular
rufous blotch, the sides of which are at anal angle and end of vein 2 ; a narrow
subapical brown line from costa to end of vein 4, sometimes, but rarely, forming a

Mindoro the largest.

6. Banisia ocellipennis spec. nov.

Foreiviiig : semi-transjiarent ochreons, the basal two-thirds suflused with dull
red-brown except an erect oval patch reaching from cell aliove the origin of vein 2
to submedian vein ; the edge of the brown area runs from four-fifths of inner
margin to three-fourths of costa, fprming three sinuses, sejmrated by ])roji'cting
teeth on veins 2 and .5 produced as brown strealis to outer margin ; the brown
colouring extends narrowly along costa to apex subtending a triangle before apex,
from which a red line runs to the streak at end of vein 4, forming there another
small triangle ; from the middle of the streak along vein 4 a vertical streak falls to
the end of the streak on vein 2 ; the marginal area is thus cut up into five irregnlar
patches, reticulated so as to present the apjiearance of an aggregation of irregular
cells; the inner margin below vein 1 also shows some pale red-centred cells;
fringe (worn) brownish.

Hindwing .-ochreons, cut up by reddish streaks into irregular roundish blotches
of cells, and crossed at middle by an irregular brown baud ; veins, as in forewiug ,
finely red.

Underside the same ; the hindwing altogether paler.

Thorax and abdomen red-brown ; head and shoulders ochreons mixed with
brown.

Expanse of wings : 40 mm.

Allied to Jerrqfi/sa Hmpsu. and illusti-ata Warr. The onter margin of both
wings is strongly bulged below middle, and the apex of forewiug acute.

7. Banisia ramifera ab. conformis nov.

In the type form of ramij'cra Warr. the coloration is uniform in both sexes,
the bands and markings being only a little darker than the ground ; the aberration
conformis mimics to a certain extent B, lateralis Warr., having black blotches in
both branches of the outer fascia of forewiug on each side of vein 3, and in the hind-
wing on each side of vein 2 ; the difference in the lines will always distinguish them,
these being curved and sinuous in ramifera, vertical and angular in lateralis; also
the dorsum in the former is dark fuscous, without dots, in the latter pale ochreons
and with two rows of dark dots.

9. Banisia tetragonata Wlk. subsp. ordinaria \\'arr.
These are undoubtedly local forms of one species : typical ordinaria from
Australia are on the average the smallest of all the forms, except those from
Amboina, which are equally small ; tetragonata from Borneo, the Malay Peninsula,
and India the largest. The examples from New Guinea and tiie Louisiade Islands
are larger than the Australian ; while those from the islands of the Solomon group
come next in size to tetrogonuta. A noticeable point of diflerence is that in the
ab. hyphcnata the black dash in the Solomon Islands examples is always below
vein 2, in all the other forms above it.

10. Beguma radiata spec. uov.

Forewing: fulvous brown, with broad, abbreviated, slightly glossy, pale
ochreous bauds from costa, eacli with the c?ntre fulvous, the darker ground colonr

oblique inwards, especially tlie outermost, which rises from costa before apex and
ends in midwiug at vein 4 ; the four oiliers are indistinct below submedian vein,
the dark ground colour in the lower middle of wing becoming blackish-brown ; all
the veins in submarginal area are marked by pale fulvous ochreous rays, that on
vein 6 being least conspicuous, those on 3 and 4 forming the ends of a broader
curved streak from three-fourths of inner margin ; fringe fulvous.

Hindwing : with a pale autemedian band, a baud from middle of costa widening
downwards and forking below middle, one liranch running to anal angle but
bifurcating along vein 2, the other bifurcating to outer margin along veins H and 4 ;

15. Draconia accipitrina spec. nuv.

Forewing: whitish, the veins and reticulations pale brown, the bands dark
brown ; basal tliird suffused with brown ; a broad oblique fascia from middle of
inner margin and a conical blotch from anal angle brown, the two uniting above
vein 5 and reaching the costa as a narrow band at two-thirds ; the whitish areas,
wliicli are semihyaline, are therefore a narrow oblique band lietwecn basal ]iatch
and central fascia rea(!liing as far as subcostal vein, anil a broader one beyond the
fascia reaching vein 5 ; there are also three roundish hyaline spots beyond the joint
fasciae between veins 4 and 7, edged outwardly by black spots which are continued
towards costa; apex whitish, traversed by a brown streak along vein 8, which joins
at right angles a brown costal sj)ot, from which a brown line, interrui)ted by the

17. Draconia dismutata spec. nov.

Much resembling J), basipleta Warr., Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. xxix. p. 340, from
British Guiana, from which it differs as follows : the brown markings are all jialer,
more rusty brown ; the basal jiatcli of forewing covers quite one-third of the wing
instead of only one-fourth ; the costal streak is much broader throughout, and
the second of the projections depending from it is quite close to a[)ex a^id not
connected by a line with outer margin ; vein 2 is not marked with brown. In the
hindwing the oblique line from two-thirds of costa to outer margin, which cuts
off an equilateral triangle in basipleta, is absent, and is represented by a broad
brown streak from shortly before apex, forming a Y with the broad marginal line.
In both wings the pale ground colour is tinged with rufous, and the reticulations and
veins of hindwing are red.

20. Dysodia confiisata spec, nov., and ab. olivescens nov.

Of the same size and sha}ie as specuUfera Sepp, but with all the dark markings
amplified and the ground colour, whether reddish or tawny, restricted and suffused
with a deeper tint ; the basal and antemedian curved lines of the forewing are
swollen into dark bands ; the outer band is broad throughout, its inner margin
projecting at middle so as sometimes to touch the antemedian band ; in the hindwing
the ]mler areas are still more reduced by the widening of the bands; the hyaline spot
is much smaller and figure-of-S-sliaped.

Head, thorax, and abdomen all similarly darkened by the bhickish suft'usion.

Expanse of wings : S 30 — 32 mm.

Three S i from Zamora, Ecuador, 3000—40011 feet (0. T. Baron).

Of these, two have the ground colour deep coppery red, the third has it
olive tawny ; a fourth sjiecimen, from the same locality, au extreme development of
the third, must be separated as ab. olicescens, the whole of both wings being suffused
with dark olive-fuscous, so that the unilerlying paler areas are obscured, and the
hyaline blotch is swollen so as to appear like a large cottage-loaf: head, thorax,
and alidonien all olive-fuscous.

21. Dysodia constellata spec. nov.
Forewhtq : pale yellow ochreous, the busal two-thirds suffused with pale olive,
obscuring the antemedian band : an oblitjite dark olive-fuscous band from beyond

( 333 )

middle of inner margin, swelling out, towards costa and extending to apex, before
which it emits a dark streak to middle of outer margin, followed above vein 7
by a small yellow spot ; the marginal area between the fascia and this streak
is pale yellow between veins 2 and 5, tinged with olive above and below them, the
veins themselves brown with a few neat transverse streaks, thickened into a slight
vertical blotch from anal angle ; fringe with basal half olive-fuscous, enter half paler

22. Dysodia crassa \Vlk., ab. flavidula nov.

Like crassa, but with the ground colour didl yellowish instead of red.

In both forms the ? is rather larger than the i and much darker, the pale
ground being almost hidden by fuscous suft'usion, which also darkens the head
and thorax and to a less degree the abdomen. On the nnderside the costa and outer
band of forewing are olive-green, more conspicuously in the type form than in
flavidula.

Three SS from Congella, Durban (G. F. Leigh), received with a pair of typical
crassa.

A preserved larva (of the yellow form) is yellowish grey marbled with black,
and with ajiparently irregular blackish subdorsal blotches ; the tubercles beset with
short curved spines ; head black ; front of second segment with a black bar.

23. Dysodia derufata spec. nov.
Differs from speculifera Sepp in being ochreous, sometimes with a fulvous
tinge, without any red suffusion excejit on abdomen ; the reticulations are more
minute and regular, taking the form of short transverse streaks between the veins^
which are themselves also fuscous; this is especially noticeable in the hindwings^
where the dark submarginal curve is quite absent ; the hyaline cell-spot of these
wings is reduced to two small subeontignous round spots.

24. Dysodia flagrata.

Varnia flayntta Wlk. xxxiii. p. 827(lH(iO).

This species is distinct from speculifera Sepp ; the costa of forewing is dark
brown from base to outer band ; and this band, instead of being funnel-shajied as in
Sejtp's species, forms a subqnadrate blotch on costa reaching to vein 5, from the inner
angle of which a dark oblique line runs to beyond middle of inner margin, while
from its outer angle an irregularly-bent streak runs to anal angle ; the cell-spot
of hindwing consists of two small hyaline white dots, limited externally by a black
central line which is thickened into a blotch above tlie median vein,

( 334 )

The underside is pale l)rown with the markings olive-brown ; the inner marginal
half of hindwing broadly yellowish. In the ? the reddish fnlvons ground colour
is almost hidden by dark fuscous suffusion in both winjjfs.

The s]iecies varies in point of size : 2 ? ? from Ecu:idor measure 3'.' mm.

2-"). Dysodia innubila spec. nov.

Differs from D. spcculij'era !Sep}) in being deeper, more uniformly copper
red ; the reticulations therefore are less prominent ; the lower half of the post-
median funnel-shaped band of forewin? is narrower, and the apical area beyond
the obliipie submarginal streak broader and darker; the red area between these two
runs up to the costal margin, whereas in speculifera the costo-apical area is clouded
as far as vein 6. In the hindwing the large h3'aline blotch is not only redneed
in size, bnt separated into two small but unequal spots.

This also is an entirely different sjiecies from xperuliffrn Sepp. The ground
colonr is ochreous suffused with brownish fulvous, not orange-red ; the dark costal
suffusion in both wings ampler ; the reticulation more minute, and assuming the
form of round pale spots between the veins ; the cell-mark of tiie hindwing is
shaped as in octilataiia Clem., the two spots being contiguous in the ? , and

the latter reaches 25 mm. only, and sterna expands from 34 mm. to 4ii mm.,
the present species measures 30 — 32 mm. The three species can be well sejiaratcd
by a comparison of the nudersides of the forewing. Thus in sterna the central
area, which on the upper surface is pearl-grey, becomes yellowish beneath, and
the veins are yellow, changing to reddish only just before margin ; in jiuidlula
vein 7 is strongly and brilliantly red with a bed of lustrous leaden-grey scales
on each side of it, the other veins being faintly pink ; in intermedia all the
veins are uniformly pink throughout ; secondly, the two patches in submedian

THE BIRDS OF VELLA LAVELLA, SOLOMON ISLANDS.

Bt the HON. WALTER ROTIISCII IM>, Pn.D., and ERNST HARTEET, Ph.D.

(Plate XIII.)

THE island of Vella Lavella is one of the central group of Solomon Islands,
to which belong the islands New Georgia or Rnbiana, Rendova, Kulam-
bangra, and Gizo. "We have already had collections from Gizo, Knlambangrn,
Rendova, and New Georgia, all brought together by Mr. Albert S. Meek, who has
now visited Vella Lavella. This last island is close to Gizo and Knlamliangra.
As no bird has ever been collected before on Vella Lavella, a collection I'rom there
is a priori of great interest. Moreover, while the majority of the species are, of
course, identical with those from the other islands of the central gronp, some most
interesting new forms have been discovered by our indefatigable collector, Albert
Meek. In Xoritates Zoologicar 19U.5, jip. 243, 244, we have explained that the
central group of the Solomou Islands can be regarded as a faunistic area different
from the northern chain (Bougainville, Choiseul, Isabel) as well as from the
Guadalcanar group, and the southern group (San Christoval and Ugi).

An interesting feature of the birds of Vella Lavella is the fact that the forms
peculiar to that island show a tendency towards a melanistic coloration. Mi/zoinchi
eichhorni atrata has the upper surface black instead of dark olive as in .1/. cichhorni
eichhorni ; Fachjcephala melanonota is above deep black instead of yellowish olive
as in r. astrolahi ; Monarcha brodiei niyrotectus has the upper wing-coverts blue-
black instead of white.

The ornis of the island of Ronongo, close to Vella Lavella, remains to be
exj)lored, but not many new forms can be expected from there.

known from three different islands, we may, with more certainty than in 1905,
consider it to be the same as the bird from Ugi, i.e. Ramsay's jihilippanai'. We
should call the non-metallic ground colour of the body-plumage slaty black and not

The female aj;'rees with the above descriptions, the male was hitherto nuknown.
The adnlt mule (liU'ers from tliat of Dupetor flarkoLUa iieaophilus'hj almost com-
pletely wanting the broad creamy white margins to the elongated feathers of the
chest, and the abdomen and flanks appear slightly more greyish ; the back and
scapulars are also slightly blacker.

Dr. Sharpe has placed wootlfordi in a new genus, which he called Eri/throphot/x,
founding tlie latter on supposed did'ereat proportions between the middle toe and
tarsns. It is true that woodfordi has a slightly longer tarsus, e.Kceeding the middle
toe and claw by about 1 cm., while \a JiacicoU/.s and the other allied forms it is
about equal. This, however, to our mind, is nothing more than a very good sub-
specific character. We are convinced that Diipi'tor ^/(amcoUis, goiildi, nesophilus,
and woodfordi are geographical forms of one s|)ecies, as the males — and in moSt
cases the females as well — differ very slightly from each other.

Dr. Sharpe, in the Cat. B. Brit. Mas. vol. xxvi., was evidently misled by
having a young blackish bird and a young rufous bird, both labelled as males,
from which he concluded that a black and a red species occurred side by side on the
Moluccan Islands. From Meek's discovery of the adult c? of woodfordi we must
conclude that the two Moluccan birds are also sexes of one form. In view of
the diiiiculty in sexing accurately young birds, the fact that these 3'onng birds are
of different colours is no proof to the contrary; it only goes to show that either
the young are se^fually different, like the old birds, or that the black specimen is
older than the red one. We therefore consider that the birds placed in Dupetor
and Krifthrophoi/j:, and treated as six species by Dr. Sharpe, are really all referable
to two sjjecies, one of which can be divided into the following geographical forms :

Dupetor flavicoUis flavicollis (Lath.).

India to China, Philip|)iues, Greater Sniida Lslands.

cJ characterised by chestnut spots on chin, throat, and forencck ; ? very much
browner, especially on the under surface, dark spots on tlirout anil foreueck almost
entirely chestnut.

Mr. Meek has again sexed Nos. 3780 and 3785 as females. These two birds
agree with our description of the young male (I.e. p. 263), but we find, on measuring
the wings of our specimens from Reudova and Gizo, as well as of these tT7o, that
they are shorter than those of the adult males. It is therefore, after all, quite
possible that these birds are the fully adult females, aud that what we considered
to be adult females are immature ones.

ON A COLLECTION OF BIRDS FROM SAN CHRISTOVAL,
SOLOMON ISLANDS.

By the HON. \\- ALTER ROTHSCHILD, Ph.D., and ERNST HARTERT, Ph.D.

FOR years it has been our great wish to receive a collection of birds from Sau
Christoval, the southernmost island of the Soloniou group. Although many
liirds from San Christoval have been described by Uamsay and Tristram, and many
novelties could, therefore, not be expected, they were most necessary to fill up the
gaps in the collection, and to understand the relationship of the various forms from
other islands ; and we were much pleased when at last our industrious correspondent,
Albert S. Meek, decided to visit San Cbristoval. Unfortunately he was not able
to stay long and to make an extensive collection, and several of the most interesting
species were not found by him. Ceijx gentiana (Tristram, Ihis LS79, pi. xi.) was
not met with, no hawks or owls were obtained, and of several other birds only a
few specimens have been sent.

The principal articles on birds from San Christoval are : —

Tristram, Ibix 1879, jip. i37 — 443, pis. xi, xii.

Tristram, Ibis 1882, pp. 133 — 146, pis. iii, iv, v.

Ramsay, ojj. cit. vii, pp. 16 — i3, 299 — 301.

It appears that the small island of Ugi, not maiiy miles to the north of San
Christoval, has several peculiar forms not found on Sau Christoval.

1. Ptilinopus solomonensis solomonensis Gray.

These specimens do not difi'er from those from New Georgia and Vella
Lavella. Canon Tristram described the bird from Sau Christoval as P, ceraseipectus.

IB. Halcyon perplexa form. nov.

This new form is of great interest, owing to its small size, for it thus stands
intermediate between //. tristrami and //. .mnctus, having the wing hardly
at all longer than that of the latter. As we find three closely allied species
(viz. H. iri.sframi, sanctus, and solomonis) occurring in the Solomon Islands, it is
ratlier difficult to assign this new form as a subspecies to its proper species. We
therefore, against our usual custom, name it binomialiy, awaiting further evidence
before deciding as to its true position. Unfortunately none of our six specimens is
absolutely adult, the type specimen even showing traces of black margins to the
feathers on the chest.

c? fere adult. Dififers from //. tri.'itranu alberti by its brighter blue crown
and mantle and paler blue rump. There is no trace of the pale occipital patch, so
conspicuous in //. t. rdberti. The underside appears never to be uniform cinnamon,
but white with cinnamon flanks and an iiiconii)lete cinnamon band across the chest.
The wing is considerably shorter, while the bill is almost of the same size as in
//. t. alberti. The ear-coverts of the more adult birds are strongly washed with
blue, while in H. t. alberti they are black. It differs from .sanctus by its much
broader liill, and by the distinctly blue (not greenish) colour of the upperside, and
the very dark blue tail. It also differs from H. t. alberti by having a narrow
superciliary line. Wings 90—94, tail 62 — 67, cnlmen 45'0 — 49 mm.

Type : No. 4007, c? fere ad., Yannta, San Christoval, 20. iv. 1908.

Mr. Meek sent the following specimens :

2 (?c? fere ad., 2 S6 jnv.,"'2 ? ? juv. (Nos. 4007, 4012, 4048, 4954, 4055,

1 ¥ fere ad., Yanuta, 24. iv. 1908. (No. 4060.) " Iris dark brown ; feet grey ;
bill black, base of lower mandible whitish."

As we are not yet quite decided as to the exact relationship of Halcyon chloris
and H. sordidus, we have also retained this form under a binomial appellation,
though we are almost certain that all the chloris-sordidus group are subspecies of
one single species.

When Canon Tristram described this bird he did not recognise the fact that
the entirely grey birds are the males of those with rnfous underside ; bnt he
evidently afterwards found out his mistake, for the bird which he originally
described ns Graiicaliin monotonies is now labelled by him as " Eihliisoma
saloinonis cj," althongh in the Ibis 1879 he specially says : " but unfortunately the
collection does not contain a male."

Ramsay described a bird as the male of E. salomonis which he stated had
rnfous under wing-coverts, though being uniformly grey above and below ; this
must be either an aberrant sjieciraen, or a not quite adult male. Both the type of
" G. monotonus " and our males have grey under wing-coverts without any sign of
rufous.

"We are obliged to Dr. H. 0. Forbes of Liverpool for kindly lending us
the specimens collected by Lieutenant Richards, and described by Tristram in the
Ibis 1879.

20. Rhipidura tenebrosa Rams.

Rhipidura tenebrosa, Ramsay, Prnr. Liiiti. Soc. N. S. Tl". vi. p. 835 (1882 — ''Way Warre," San
Christoval).

1 J, Makira, 9. v. 1908. (No. 4] 77.) "Iris dark brown ; bill black, uudei--
mandible light horn-colonr ; feet Vandyke brown."

This specimen agrees almost exactly with the description of Ramsay, considering
that the latter was taken from a spirit-specimen. The two principal differences are
the slight fulvous tinge on the whitish tips to the lateral rectrices, and the pure
fulvous colour of the tips to the median and greater wing-coverts. A narrow
superciliary and postocular line is indicated by white tijis to some of the feathers.
The feathers of the throat and moustachial line are tipped with white.

Wing 85-5, tail 91 mm., culmen 10-5.

This appears to be the second specimen of 7?/;. tenebrosa obtained.

This form differs conspicuously from 7?//. rubrofronfata and allies by tlie rnfous
colour of the n])per surface reaching ahnost as far as the hind-neck, instead of being
confined to the upper fail-coverts and rump.

23. Monarcha castaneiventris megarhynchus snbsp. nov.

Similar in all respects to M. castaneiventrig castaneiventris^ but the bill larger
and the tail and wings longer. The tail of the adult males measures up to 78 5 ram.,
thus being nearly 1 cm. longer than in M. c. castaneiventris. The wings of the
males measure np to 89 and even 01 mra. Width of bill across nostrils 9, as
opposed to about 7 mm. Cnlmen 23 to 24 mm., as opposed to about 19 to 21 mm.

In the " Handlist of Birds," iii. p. 285, Dr. Sharpe quotes Pomarea rufocastanea
Rams., Pr. Linn. Soc, N. S. Wales iv. p. 79 (1879), as coming from Sau Christoval.
This is an error, as Ramsay gives as the locality of his rufocastanea '" Lango,
Gnadalcanar," and rnj'ocastanea is therefore a synonym of M. c. castaneicentris.
We have comjjared Verreaux's type, now in the British Museum, and find it clearly
to belong to the small-billed form found on Guadalcanar, Isabel and Uhoiseul.

These six specimens agree entirely in plumage. It is somewhat strange that
the sexes in this species should be alike, while in its allies they are very ditferent.
The wings measure in the " males " 74'5 — 81, in the " females " 75 and 76 mm.

The male differs from that of M. c. ferrocyanea by the back being dark grey
with a deep metallic bottle-green wash instead of entirely deep purjile-blue.
The head, wings and tail are dark metallic bottle-green. The female dilfers from
those of M. c. ferrocyanea and M. c.feminina (cf. Nor. Zool. 1905. p. 261) by liaving
the throat and breast cinnamon-rufous and the abdomen cinnamon-buif.

The male of tliis form is a small edition of P. ntttrolain, Imt the females before
us lack all traoes of nifons. We are convinced that all the Pachycephala of the
melamirn-astrohihi groups are subsj.ecies of a single species, bnt we hope to treat
more fnllv on the subject of this and similar cases later on, and so for the present
make nse of binomials.

In the adult male the chin and throat are dark brown, the ear-coverts brown,
minutely tipped with white, while in the female the chin and upper throat are
white, the lower throat lighter brown than in the male, and the auricular region
white. The females also are generally somewhat more white on the under-siirface.
The young birds are uniform sooty brown above, sooty grey below, merging into
whitish on the abdomen and flanks ; the basal half of the under mandilile yellowish.

Differs from M. p. pammelaena by the absence of the steely gloss in the
plumage of the adult birds, and by the whiter inner edges to the remiges. The
young birds differ in having the beak yellowish with a dark ti]), instead of blackish,
and in having a sooty grey instead of rufous greyish brown underside.

Upper surface bright yellowish olive-green, crown washed with brown. No
trace of a white orbital ring. Quills brownish black, all except the second (first

The pnllns is very interesting. Head, neek, and the whole underside are
covered with dark grey down, which is somewhat lighter on the belly. There
are no green nor brown feathers here at all. The feathers of the wing and tail are
already complete, but the tail feathers as far as they are visible are blue through-
out. There is no dark subajiical bar, nor is there any green colour at the base of
the enter tail-feathers.

2. Chizaerhis africana (Lath.).
This species is distributed over "West Africa from the Senegal to the Congo,
but it seems to be local and rare in Lower Guinea.

which the waters run to the Nile— /.e. from North Abyssinia to Lake V^ictoria. It
also occurs near Massana and on the Omo River, but not in Somaliland, nor in the
Hawash regions of Shoa.

There is no difference between specimens from North Abyssinia and those from
Lake Victoria.

This species is distribnted over the Hawash region of Shoa, the whole of
Somaliland and from there to the eastern parts of British and German East
Africa down to IJsagara and Ugogo in the sonth. It just goes to the border of the
Nilotic region, which it reaches near Tarangole.

There is no doubt that the male has always a black bill, while the bill of
the female is olive-green with a yellowish point.

In the young specimens the bill is brownish black, the feathers of the front are
mixed with green. The white stripe below the eye is not well developed. In the
youngest specimen the green colour of the back and underside is very pale and just
beginning. The white stripe btdow the eye is faintly indicated ; bnt instead of the
white spot in front of the eye there is a broad white stripe over the whole eye, which
unites behind the eye with the indication of the lower stripe. Of the five young
specimens, the four more advanced were collected in September, October, December,
and March. The youngest specimen was collected in March.

17. Turacus leucolophus (Hartl.).

This species is distributed over Central Africa from the Samia Hills in North
Kavirondo and Turquel to the Ubaugi and Shavi Rivers. There are specimens in
the Paris Musenm collected by de Bdhagle in Bagirmi, and Capt. Boyd Alexander
collected this species on the Ba-Mingue River (Upper Shari), These specimens
which 1 have compared, are not at all different from those from the Upper \V'hite
Nile, Unyoro, and Kavirondo.

The following specimens are in the Tring Museum : •

The distribution of this species is wrongly recorded even in the last works
dealing with that group — i.e. in Reichenow : " Vugel Afrikas" 1902-3, and in
Dubois' list of the " Musophagidae " in Genera Avium, which is nothing but
an extract from Reichenow's work without any criticism.

in both these works the distribution is given as " from Sierra Leone to
Ano'ola." Now the bird was never collected in Sierra Leone, but this statement
was made by Hartlaub ou account of some specimens iu the Paris and Leydeu
Museums recorded from that locality, whi.h is surely a mistake.

( 372 )

Newton recorded having seen this species on F'ornand') Pn, but be certainly
coufonnded it with T. verreauxi {T. meriaiii aiict.) It niij;bt occur iu Fernand
Vaz and Loanda, whence it has been recorded by Marche and (Jompiej^ne, and by
Tiiulson, but I think that this locality also shonld not be quoted withont doubt.

The true locality is Angola, where it occurs frora the Congo to Central
Benguella, and it also occurs in the neighbouring provinces of the Congo Free
State.

19. Turacus leucotis leucotis (Hiipp.).

This form is distributed frora Keren in North Abyssinia to the mountains
of Gardulla south of Lake Gandjule. To the west it occurs iu Kaffa and the
other mountains of the Omo system, and even in Sclieclio on the sources of the Gelo
River. There is no ditfereuce whatever between northern and southern specimens.

This form is the representative of the foregoing iu the river system of tiie
Webbi Web and the Webbi Shebeli, and also at the northern slope of the Harar

21. Turacus macrorhynchus macrorhynchus (Eras.).

This form is distributed from Sierra Leone to the Gold Coast, neither this
nor verreauxi, the corresponding form from Lower Guinea, being found iu Togo,
Dahomey, and Lagos.

This form is the representative of the foregoing one in Lower Guinea, where
it occurs from Fernando To and Kameruu to the Lower Congo. The occurrence at
Aguapim on the Gold Coast is surely stated erroneously, while the birds collected
Iiy Thompson, and recorded as coming from the Niger, in the Cat. Birds vol. xix.
p. 443, were collected in the Kamerun, as will be found in Thompson's Narrative
of the Siyer Expedition.

Tiiis bird cannot be called Taraciis meriani. lu his paper, " Ueber eine nene
Art von Tottracus," which appeared in Bericht der Verhandl. Naturf. Gesellsch.
Basel, i)robably in January 1851, Riippell described Turacus persa from specimens
which had been sent to the Basel Museum from the Gold (Joast, probably by the
missionary Riis from Aguapim, as a new species under the name Turacus meriani,
believing the red-crested form to be the true Turacus persa : (" Man unterscheidet
ihn (persa) leicht dnrch die scharjachroten Spitzen seines etwas comprimierten
Federschopfes ").

He gave here the characters which distinguish the green-crested Turacus from
the Gold Coast from the Senegambian T. bujjoni.

Shortly afterwards Riippell found out his mistake, and published another
jjaper on the same subject in Wiegmann's Archie ficr yaturijeschichte, vol. xvii.
(1851) ]). 316, whicli appeared iu the summer or in October 1851, and which he
called a correction of the first article (" Als Berichtigung eines Anfsatzes von mir
iiber den gleichen (Jegeustand, abgedruckt in dem 9ten Berichte der Easier
naturforschenden Gesellschaft "j. In this article now, without mentioning the
mistake he has made before, Riippell simply applies the name "meriani" to a
totally different species — i.e. the red-crested one I

It is quite obvious that such a proceeding is not allowed by the rules of
nomenclature. Kiippeirs name is a synonym to T. persa L., and the red-crested
bird has therefore to stand as Turacus verreauxi Schleg. 1854.

Ilab. West Africa from the Gold Coast to the Congo.

It is rather astonishing to find tliat np to this day, with one e.xception, no
ornithologist has ever jiointed out the true relation between Tm-acus jjcrsa L. and
Turacus buffoni Vieill.— /.t'. that both are nothing but geographical representatives
of each other. The one exception is Schlegel, who in his work " De Toeraltos," 1860,
]ip. 10, 17, qnite correctly states that persa is the only one of the two forms
occurring on the Gold Coast, ^\i.\\e pur pure lis (= bufoni) is the Senegambian form.

All other ornithologists, down to Reichenow, Voyel Afrilias, and Shelley,
Catalogue of Birds, vol. xix., record both species, as occurring side by side from the
Senegal to the (jougo, and in addition to these the former created two subspecies.

As to Cuculus persa there can be no doubt that Linne described the form
which occurs from tlie Gold Coast to the Congo, for both figures which he cpiotes—
Albin's as well as Edwards'— show a bird with a distinct white streak below the
eye, while the black line below the eye is rather redui'ed.

RUppell in 1851 described the Gold Coast bird as Turacus meriani, while half
a year later he attributed this name with a new description to the red-crested
Turacus from Galiiui, afterwards called Musophaga verrea'xxi by Schlegel.
Reichenow separated the birds from Togo and Upper Guinea from those of
Lower Guinea as T. p. bUttueri, stating that the purple colour of the former
inclined more to blue, while it was more copper-brown in the latter ; but after
having studied more than fifty birds from both regions, I fail to see even the
slightest difference in this way. If the two forms were different, the bird from
Upper Guinea would of course have to be called meriani Riijip. Later, Reichenow
described birds collected by Zenker in Jaunde, Kameruu, as a subspecies of
Turacus buj'oiii, calling them Turacus bufoni zenkeri, and stating this form to
be the representative of T. bujf'oni in Lower Guinea, and to occur there side by
side with, or at least in the same geograpliical region as, Turacus persa. He
states that this bird differs from true bufoni by having only a black jiatch below
the eye, in this character resembling T. persa, while the lower white line is stated
to be as narrow as in T. bufoni.

Here again I have failed to see the differences pointed out by lieichenow.
It is true that birds from Kamerun, called zenlieri by Reichenow, differ widely
from T. bufoni from Senegambia by having only one black iiatch and no long
black line below the eye ; but the broadness of the lower white line is an absolutely
indifferent character, so that the birds cannot be separated from sjiocimens of
T. persa from the Gold Coast and Togo. In some specimens this white line is
indeed very narrow, but it is broader in other specimens from the same locality.
I also found specimens from Togo and the Gold Coast (in the Berlin and in the
British Museums) in which this line is as narrow as in most of the Soutii Kamerun
and Gabun birds.

It thus remains to acknowledge only two subspecies of Turacus persa :

1. Turacus persa persa (L.) From the Gold Coast to the Congo.

~ 'I'uracus persa bufoni (Vieill.J. From Senegambia to Sierra Leone.

24. Turacus persa buffoni (Vieill.).

This form is distinguished from T. p. persa by having the black patch beneath
the eye continued backwards to a distinct black baud and the white Ijand beneath it
only faintly indicated or wanting.

It replaces the foregoing form in Senegambia and Sierra Leone. It is remark-
able that neither of the two forms is found in Liberia. The fauna of the French
Ivory Coast between Liberia and the Gold Coast is practically unknown, and it is
impossible to say whether tlie true T. p. persa occurs so far west.

As this form was not collected by Riggenbach near Thies and Diourbel, I
suppose that the Gambia forms its northern limit.

There are only two native trade-skins from Senegambia in the Tring Museum.

25. Turacus corytliaix corythaix (Wagl.).

The true Turacus corytliaix is distributed over Eastern South Africa from the
Cape Colony to the southern parts of the Transvaal, while it is replaced in the
Lydenbnrg, Barberton, and Zoutpansberg districts, ]>robably also in Ghazalaud, by
the blue T. c. phoebus Neum.

of Luke Kivu.

i canuot sec any differences between specimens from the Upper Itnri and the
regions of Lakes Albert and Albert Edward and such from Uganda, as the birds
from Karevia, Ukondjo, and from west of Lake Albert Edward have absolntely the
same gloss as those from Uganda. The differences in the gloss seem to be merel}'

As to the other black-billed forms, T. schiUti schiltti Cab. is distributed from
Tala Magongo ou the Cuango, North Angola, to the (lower?) Arnwimi, wheuce
there are two specimens lin the British Museum collected by Capt. Guy Barrows.

T. schiltti tiharpei Kch\v. is known only from the type, which was collected
by Bohndorlf at Semnio (Zeraio) on the Bomu or M'Bomoa River, the large
northern affluent of the Uelle.

T. schiitli Jinsrhi Rchw. was discovered by Bohndorff at Ndorunia, which is
just on the watershed between the Uerre and Guruba Rivers, running into the
Uelle and the Sue River, an affluent of the Bahr el Ghazal.

The three specimens which Bohndorff collected here are in the Leyden,
Bremen, and Basel Museums.

Captain Boyd Alexander collected two specimens of T. s.jinschi on the Likaiuli
(Bomokandi) River, a southern affluent of the Uelle, due south of Ndorniua, which
do not absolutely agree with the description of the type, but are in any case
intermediate in colour between T. sharpei and T. emini.

27. Tui'acus livingstonei livingstonei G. R. Gray.

This form of the long-crested group is distributed over the countries sonth of
Lake Nyassa (Zomba, Mlangi, Mlosa, Maujauga Hills, Lower Zambesi), and is said
to'occnr south to Zululand. I have, however, not been able to comjiare Zululand
s|)ecimens, and believe they might be different.

The following specimens are in the Tring Museum :

3 ad. (not sexed), Mlangi Hills, Nyassalaud. Brown coll.

28. Turacus living-stonei cabanisi (Rchw.).

The northern form of T. linngstonei is distinguished from true licingstonei
always by a more bluish green rump and a bluish wash in the tail.

Sucli birds have been collected at Bagamojo by Fischer (Berlin ami IStutfgart),
at Mpapwa by Baxter (London), in Ugogo by Kirk (Loudon).

The Tring Museum has one specimen of this form.

Ad., Ngnrn Hills, iv. 00.

Side by side with these birds a blue species occurs which has been called
by Fischer Turacus reicheiiowi, and all intermediate forms between the green T. I.
cai/anisi and 7'. reicltenowi seem to be found in the same region. The puzzle
becomes more difficult by the fact that Mr. Claude Grant collected such a blue
bird north of Beira, which 1 have compared with and cannot distinguish from two
cotypes of reichenowi from Dar-es-Salaam and Maruji (German East Africa).

While Reicheuow has put down his own Turacus cabaitisi as a synonym to

( 377 )

T. licingstonei, he redescribed as T. hyhridm those specimens which are a little or
innch more, but not quite so blue as t^vpical T. reichenowL There are only two
possibilities. Either T. reicfmioiri is nothing but a blue aberration of T. lirlng-
stonei. In that case it is astonishing how frequently it occurs in German East
Africa, while it has only once been found in South Mozambique (Beira).

The other possibility is that T. reiclienowi is a distinct species, which occurs in
German East Africa side by side with T. I. cabanisi, and has so often hybridised with
the latter species that both species are beginning to form a new intermediate species.

I have compared the following specimens of the northern bird :

(a) Greenest {cahrousi): Three, Bagamoyo, Fischer coll. (Berlin, Stuttgarl);
one, Ngnni (Tring); three, Ugogo, Kirk coll. (London); one, Mjjapwa, Ugogo,
Baxter coll, (London) ; one, East Uluguru, Stuhlmann coll. (Berlin).

(h) More blue {ki/hntlus) : one, iflugnrn, Stuhlmann coll. ; one, Kipunga, Froram
coll. ; one, Simba Muene, Emin coll., all in Berlin.

{c) Still more blue : one, Mrogoro, Stuhlmann coll., and one, Maruji, v. Trotha
coll. in Berlin ; and one north of Beira, C Grant coll. in Loudon.

(rf) Bluest (i-eickenoici) : one, Nguru, Fischer coll. (the type), and one, Dar-es-
Salaam, Stuhlmann coll. — both in Berlin.

Even neglecting the startling locality Beira, it is to be seen that no geo-
graphical limits are to be found between the green and the blue birds.

But it is strongly to be wished that a true ornithologist will some day
collect good series of these birds with exact localities — a task which cannot
be too difficult, as these birds occur close by, or even at the coast.

29. Turacus living'stonei schalowi (Rchw.).

Thi.s form is distributed over the whole of Portuguese West Africa from
Mossamedes to the Congo. It is at once distinguished from the foregoing species
by its long crest, which, however, has not a metallic gloss before the white tips.
The white line below the eye is always present, but only half as broad as in
T. I. limigstonei.

The following specimens are in the Tring Mnseum :

I may add here the exact description of a very interesting geographical form,
which occurs on the west coast of Lakes Nyassa and Tanganyika, and between these
two lakes — viz. T. I. manaigensis Rchw., Vog. Afr. ii. p. 52, in the text. Similar
to T. I. schalowi, but the tail is more blue and less purple, the white line below
the eye is broader than in T. I. sclialoiri, but narrower than in T. I. liriugstonei ;
the crest-feathers are strongly developed as in T. I. chalcolophus and 7'. /. loitaiius,
and are metallic green before the white tip.

This character is very well shown in good skins from the west coast of
Lake Nyassa, while it is not so well to be seen in the two (younger ?) type-specimeqs

( 378 ;

which come from Slaningii on the west coast of Lake Taiigainika. Till more
material is available from there, J ]irefer to niiite the Tanganyika and the Nyassa
birds.

There is no specimen of 7'. /. manmgensis in the Triiig Museum, bnt I have
compared the series of the Berlin and London Museums side by side.
The Berlin specimens have the following localities :

Two specimens. Qua Mpara, Marnngn. Bohm coll.

„ „ Mararnpiii, north of Lake Nyassa. Fiilleborn coll.

One specimen, Songwe, north of Lake Nyassa. Fiilleborn coll.

One, Nyika Plateau. Whyte coll.
One, Ikawa. JIanning coll.
One, Palombe. Sharpe coll.
One, Mazukn Range. Whyte coll.
Some of these birds, the South Angoui and the Mwanembe specimens, are
more golden-green above, while the Ikawa, Palombe, and Songwe specimens are a
little more blue-green above.

In all specimens of T. I. marungcnsis the shortest crest-feathers of the hind-
head have distinct white edges, and show scarcely any green gloss.

30. Turacus livingstonei chalcolophus Neum.

This form is only found on Mount Gurui, north of Irangi, German East Africa.
It is distinguished from marunffensis by the purple tail, the blue metallic gloss
of the crest-feathers, and the entire absence or only faint indication of a white line
below the eye. The shortest crest-feathers of the hind-head have a strong blue
gloss and scarcely any white edges.

T. I. chalcolophus, is distinguished from the latter by the distinct white line below
the eye and by the distinct white edges of the shortest crest-leathers. From
T. I. marunr/e/isis it is distinguished by the jrarple tail.

The only specimen in the Tring Mnseum is :

Other specimens from the Loita Jlountains (Neumann cidl., v. Trotha coll.),

Berlin Museum.

My thanks are due to Prof Reichenow, who very kindly sent me over all the
material of the livingstonei grouj) from the Berlin Museum, so that 1 could bring
these specimens in direct comparison with the material of the British and Tring
Museums.

11. LIST OF THE AFRICAN PSITrACIDAE.

1. Psittacus erithacus erithacus L.

The true red-tailed grey Parrot occurs from tlie Gold Coast to Katnmbela and
Bih6, in Benguella, and eastwards to Kavirondo, on the east shore of Lal;e Victoria,
where I saw a flock near Kwa Kitoto, now Port Florence, in April 1894. Hartert
{Kat. Sencltenl/i'i-ij. Mi/s., 1801, p. 1.57) lias separated the birds from the Congo as
megarhynchus on account of their supposed larger bill, from a smaller liilled form,
supposed to occur in Upper Guinea. As to the specimens before me, I can see no
difference between birds from the low#r Niger, the islands of the Golf of Guinea, the
Ogowe River, and Uganda. Unfortunately there are not enough wild shot specimens
from Upper Guinea (Togo, Gold Coast) available for comj)arison, either in London,
Berlin, or Tring. So I think, for the present, better to leave all under the name
of erithacus.

It seems that the males have always larger bills, and are somewhat larger
than the females.

2. Psittacus erithacus timneh Fras.

This form replaces the true eritJtacNS in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
There are two specimens in the Tring Museum :
" Sierra Leone " (ex captivity).
One without any label whatever.
The last specimen is very interesting. It has a tail which is intermediate in
colour between that of the true erithocu.t and of timneh.

• Tills locality is tlie most soutliern known in modern times, but is not to be doubted, as the bird is
already mentioned as occurring in Bibc, liy I.adislaus JIagyar : cf. Finch, Hie PaimtjiUn. p. Iil2. Neither
Ausorge, uor Pcmicu and I'emberton, however, lound the bird in Bih6 or elsewhere in Angola.

3. Poicephalus robustus robustus (Gm.)-

This form, which may at once be recognised by the narrower bill, especially
lower mandible, as compared to that of the other snbspecies of robustus, is
distributed over the eastern parts of Oape Colony, cast of the 25° of longitude to
Zululand, and the south-east corner of Transvaal. It seems to be restricted to the
coast regions, and never to occur in the Orange River Valley.

The female has generally a pink forehead.

The following specimens are in the Tring Museum :
* J ? . King ^Villiam's Town District, S. Africa Smith coll.

(?. S. Africa e.\ Mus. Sliiiri)e.

?.jnv. Etchowe, Zululand .... 15. x. 83. Gitiard coll.

4. Poicephalus robustus suahelicus Rcliw.

This form is distributed over the northern parts of German Soutii-west Africa
and the whole of the West African Portuguese Colony, and goes north as far as
Loango. To the eastward it is distributed to the Zambesi Valley in the south,
and to Kakoma in the north.

Through the series collected by Ansorge, who is one of the most careful of all
collectors in sexing birds, it is proved now that not the male but the female has
the whole vertex red, while previously the red-headed birds were thought to be
either the males or very old birds of both sexes. Ausorge's dissections are also
confirmed by the fact, that the birds with a red vertex have a somewhat smaller
bill than those with a silvery grey head, in which the basal parts of the feathers
have a red suffusion. Young birds are distinguished by wanting the red feathers
on the bend of the wing and on the metacarpal edge. The thighs are entirely
green, or have only a few red feathers. Even in the young birds the sexes can
mostly be distinguished, as young females have the edges of the feathers on the
forehead and vertex mostly red. Young males in the first plumage have also
these red edges of the head-feathers, and therefore resemble more the females.

These characters, to distinguish male, female, and young, hold ijood for all the
subspecies oi robustus, but not for the subspecies oi' (/uiliel mi, iu which in both sexes
the front and sometimes the vertex are scarlet or orange yellow in adult birds.

1 cannot find that the western birds are lighter coloured than the eastern ones.

1 therefore do not recognise P. r. anyolensis Rchw. as a distinct subspecies.

The following specimens of P. r. s/ia/ieliriis are in the Tring Museum :

the thighs is )'ellow instead of red, and the feathers of the nietararpal edge are
mixed red and yellow. A few 3-ellow feathers on the upper half of the thighs are
also found in one female, collected at the same date.

5. Poicephalus g'ulielmi gulielmi (Jard.).

Piniiiis iiiilifhiii Jiird., Conlr. Orn. 1K4'.I, p. lU, pi. 28 [Congo].

In P. gulielmi and its subspecies both sexes seem to be coloured alike, and the
red or orange forehead and crown is marked alike in male and female, but it is
absent in younger birds. Concerning the nomenclature the following is to be said :

Jardine described as Pionns f/idielmi a living specimen which his son had
brought from the west coast of Afitca, and it is expressly stated that the bird
came from the Congo. Jardine described the colour of the forehead, crown, edges
of wing and lower tiiiglis as " bright yellowish scarlet." In four copies of his
"Contributions," whicli I have examined, the plate shows these parts scarlet and not
orauge-yellow. There is no reason whatever why the name of gulielmi ought to be
attributed to the Gold Coast binl, as the description of " bright yellowish scarlet "
fits very well the bird from the Congo and other parts of Lower Guinea, but never
that from the Gold Coast.

Sonance, in describing his auhrijanua, did not point out any differences in
coloration, but simply stated that his new auhn/anus was larger, in which he was
right, and that it had a white npi)or mandible, which is more or less the case in all
the subspecies oi gulielmi.

The bird from the Gold Coast, with the forehead, crown, edges of wings and
upper thighs orauge-yellow instead of yellowi.sh scarlet, the P. gulielmi (nee
Jardine), Salvad., Cat. Birds xs. p. 306; Reichenow, Vot/el Afriha.s, ii. p. U, thus
requires a new name. I call it :

Poicephalus gulielmi fantiensis subsp. n.

Ilah. : Gold (Joast.
• Type iu the British JIuseura : ad. Fanti . . Ussher coll.

As to the supposed differences lietween true qulielni and anbri/anu.'i, I find that
Souancd was absolutely right. I have examined his tj-pe in Paris. It is n)U(^h
larger and has a much larger bill than birds from the Congo and Angola, and
so have all specimens from Kamerun and Gabun. ^Ving iu /'. g. gulielmi
101) — 190 mm., in P. q. aubninnuK 2i)2 — 22H mm.

Wo thus have four geographical forms of /'. gulielmi :

1'. g. ffulielmi. Ja.r(]. Congo and North Angola, eastwards to the Ubangi and

6. Poicephalus gulielmi aubryanus (Soimno^).

This form, in which the bill is nearly as lavgo as in P. robustus sua/telicus, and
which also has longer wiugs than F. y. gulielmi, is distriLnted over Kamerun and
Gabnn.

There is only one sjiecimeu in the Triug Mnseum :
S jnv. Bipinde, Kamernu ...... 10. i. 07. Zenker coll.

7. Poicephalus gulielmi massaicus Fschr. A. Rchw.

Tin's form is distributed over the high moinitiiins of East Africa — Ssigejo, Man,
Kenia, Kiknvn, and Kiliiuandjaro.

It differs from 1'. g.tjiilii'lmi by its smaller bill and longer wiugs, and by its
pnle feet. The bird is lighter than P. g. gulielmi, &\v\ the scarlet of the forehead
is more restricted and never continned over the whole crown.

The following specimens are in the Tring Mnseum :

S, Poicephalus flavifrons flavifrons (Riipp).

The true P. flavifrons was described from Shoa, and is distributed southwards
to the mountains of the Omo region, northwards, perhaps to the Ataba Valley in
North Abyssinia.

Heuglin's P.citreocapillxs cannot be the very old bird of this species, as
suggested by Heichenow. It is true that the extension of the yellow colour on
the head varies a good deal in P.fladfrom, but in the large series collected by the
late Baron Erlauger and myself in Shoa and Southern Ethiopia, as well as in all
the s]iecimens which came from these regions to the London and Genoa Museums,
there is none which has a bluish breast and a blue rump, as Heuglin's two specimens
in Stuttgart and Leyden have. It only remains that citreocapillus is a distinct
sjiecies, or that the two specimens are hybritls between P.flazifrons and P. meyeri.
New material from North Abyssinia is much wanted to be compared \vith the
Shoa specimens.

P.crassus Sharpe, which was wrongly united io P. flavifrons by Reichenow,
is a totally distinct species, as J have ])ointed out in Journ. f. Orn. 1904. p. 376.
The following specimens of P. /.flavifrons are in the Tring Musenm :

Poice.phnlm inryer! rirescens Rohw., Vnij. A/i: ii. 1902. p. 12 [Eritrea and Kaviiondo].

I had formerly separateil the birds from Eritrea from those from Kordofan
under the name of eri/t/treae. I still am rather in doubt whether both forms are
the same, but the facts (l)that liiipfieH's specimens are without e.xact locality ;
(2) that nearly all of them are, or had been, monnted, and therefore suffered from
the exposure to light : (3) that no real type of P. meijeri can be made out ; (4) that
no fresh material from Kordo&n is available ; in addition to the fact (5) that 1
cannot distinguish the birds from Eritrea from those from Niam Niam, while
Kordolan is just between these two countries, induces me to consider all the birds
from these northern regions to belong to one form only. This form is distributed
from North Abyssinia over Kordofan, Darfur, and Niam Niam to Bagirmi, from
which locality there are specimens in the Paris Museum collected by the de Behagle
exjiedition, and in Oapt. Boyd Alexander's collection from the Ba-Mingiie River.
But it must 1)0 mentioned that the sjjccies is rather localised, and, it seems, not
to be found between the Atbara and the Blue Nile.

Prof lleichenow has united the birds i'rom Eritrea with those from Kavi-
rondo, and gives them a new name, virescens, thus creating a mere synonym of
P. m. erijihreae. The bill seems to be the largest of any form of P. mi'i/eri.

Poicephalus meyeri (ncc Cretzschm.) Neum., Journ. f. Orn. 1899. p. 62.

This form, which is distributed over Unyoro, Uganda, Ussoga, and Kaviroiido,
requires a new name.

It cannot be united with the bird from Eritrea and Kordofan. Reichenow's
name, "viregcei/s," can, unfortunately, not be applied to this form, as by his descri()-
tion he made it a pure synonym to P. m. erythreae.

The form may be described as follows :

Lower parts loss blue than in any of the other ,-ubspecies, green, with a
yellowish suffusion. Rump green, less blue than in any of the other subspecies.

Wing : 140 — loO mm.

The male of this eastern form of A. jjtdlan'a differs iiy liaviug the riiniii light
blue, and never dark blue as in wlnlt siieciraens of the western form. The rumj)
of the ? is mostly lighter than in the West African bird, and sometimes green with
only a shade of blue. This form is distributed over Uganda, Karagwe. Ruanda,
Unyoro, and the Omo region.

This form of the common Palaeornis is distributed over the whole Sndau
from the Senegal to the White Nile. It is distinguished by its brilliant yellowish
green front and sides of head. The whole bird is somewhat brighter-coloured than
the Abyssinian and the Indian birds. The lower mandible is always black. Tlie
upper mandible is very dark, far darker than in the Indiau and North Abyssinian
subspecies. The jiink necklace of the males is so narrow in the middle that it is
entirely covered by the bluish-grey feathers, and seems therefore to be interrnpted.

NOTE ON GORILLA GORILLA DIEHLI Matschie.

By the HON. WALTER ROTHSCHILD, Ph.D.

(Plate XII.)

IN my "Notes on Anthropoid Ai«s " {P.Z.S. 1904, vol. ii. pp. 413-440), I
treated the North Camarooas race of Gorilla as a subspecies of Gorilla
gorilla, but considered the Kirunga resp. Kivu race to be a species. I stated,
however, that further material was required to settle the question. At the time of
writing ten skulls of G. g. diehli and two skulls and a photogi'aph of the freshly
killed Gorilla hi'riiigeri was all the available material in museums. In 190(5
Mr. Bates sent a somewhat imperfect skin of G. q. diehli, which, while enabling me
to complete the diagnosis of the North Camaroons race, settled most unexpectedly
the status of the Kirnuga gorilla, for the principal reason which made me keep
G. beringeri as a species was the heavy beard shown in the photograph mentioned
above. The skin of G. g. diehli sent by Mr. Bates shows a beard fully as long
and thick as that of G. beringeri ; and as some skulls of other races of gorilla
show quite as marked differences from G. g. gorilla as that of beringeri does, I
think there is no doubt that beringeri is only a local race of G. gorilla gorilla, and
not a second sjjecies.

Since writing, iu 1006, I have had the opportunity of examining a number
of fresh skulls of G. g. gorilla and G. g. matschiei, and I find there is considerable
variation in size, though the differences between these two races and G. g. diehli
are quite constant. These individual variations in size iu adult gorilla skulls have
brought me to the conclusion that the type skull of Prof. Matschie's Gorilla jacohi
is only au abnormally large skull of G. g. matschiei, and that the extreme com-
pression of the face is only an individual and abnormal character, almost approaching
distortion or malformation.

The figure of the head of G. g. diehli given on Plate XII. is the reproduction
of a fine drawing by Mr. GrOnvold, tut unfortunately the three-colour process has
proved a failure in this instance, for the photographic reduction has completely
blurred tlie outlines, thus hiding the essential character of the heavy beard.
In addition to this the red colour has come through, causing the paler grey
hairs, where present, to show too distinctly, and in several places to produce light
patches which are not j)resent in the original drawing. The races of gorilla will
stand for the present as follows :

Gorilla gorilla i/orilht. — (iiibooi].
Gorilla gorilla m'dti/ema. — South t'ongo region.
Gorilla gorilla mutfchici. — S. Camiiruons.
Gorilla gorilla diehli.— 'N. Camaroons.
Gorilla gorilla beringeri. — Kirnuga resp. Kivu.

My reason for altering my opinion on the status of MM. Alix A; Bouvier's

( 392 )

Gorilla munyema is that I Lave secu several Simia rdlcrosus fuligiiioaus and
Simia sati/i-us niarungensis fidm that region, and they do not agree at all with
the stnfTed female in Paris described by the above-named authors. I therefore
think it may well be a much distorted skin of a female gorilla.

1 have recently received au adult male skull and pliotograph which clearly
sh6w that the Congo gorillas have a still narrower and more elongated skull than
those from Gaboon, and have very sharply defined pale and dark areas iu the
pelage, so I think the name of G. g. mnni/ema mnst be resuscitated.

NOTE ON CASILIEIUS CASVABIUS BISTRIATUS Oort.
I!v THK HON. WALTER ROTHSCHILD, Ph.D.

IN the Xotes from tlie lj-ij<len Mnseiim for 1907-8, Dr. van Oort has described
under the al ove name a race of G<isuiir>us cas/inriits from the north coast of
Dutch New Guinea. I can cunfirm his diagnosis, as I have had some seven or
eiu'ht specimens of the bird alive. Dr. van Oort, however, ought not to have
confused it even for a moment with C. c. beccarii, as 1 specially .state in my
monograph that C. c. beccarii is confined to Vokan Island, iu the Am Islands.
I hesitated to describe the bird from the north coast, as I was not sure of its
relationship to ('. c. altijugm Sol. and C. c. saluadorii Oust., both from Dutch
New Guinea. As, however, my three mounted specimens (one at Tring and two
in the British Museum) agree i/iter se and are considerably smaller than
C. c. sclateri, I think the form is fairly distinct and fully entitled to a name.
The New Guinea Cassowaries of the C. casuarius group therefore number now
seven in all, and if my C. e. ckimaera is also from the true Papuan region there
would be eight, as follows :

Casuarius casuarius beccarii. — Vokan Island, Am.

,, ,, violicollis. — Trangan Island, Am.

„ bicarunculatus. — Kobroor Island, Aru.

„ altijugm. — Coasts of Geelvink Bay.

„ salcadorii. — Berau Peninsula.

„ bistriatus. — West of Humljoldt Bay.

„ sclateri. — British New Guinea.

„ chimacra. — Uncertain.

MIEOUNGA ANGUSTIBOSTRIS (Gill).

(Plates I.— VIIL).

By the HON. WALTER ROTHSCHILD, Pii.D.

ri'^HE Californian Sea-Elephant was uescribed from skulls by Theodore Gill in
J- detail in the Proceedings of the Chicago Academy of Sciences, vol. i. p. 33,
1866 ; but he already gave the salient differences between it and Mirounga leonina
(Linn.), and the name in his prodromns for a Monograph of the Pinnepedes in the
Proceedings of the Essex Institute, vol. v. p. 13, 1866-7.

Its ontward appearance was first described by Capt. Charles M. Scammon in
the Proceedings of the Academg of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, \i. 63, 1869,
and it is figured and described by him also in his Marine Mammals of the N. W
Coast of Xorth A)nerica, p. 115, pi. xx. (1874). The unfortunate Sea-Elephants
underwent such continual persecution and slaughter at the hands of sealers that
when, in 1885, Mr. Charles Townshend succeeded in securing fifteen specimens
(twelve females, two young, and one male only 12 ft. long), he expressed the
opinion that the species was almost exterminated.

The number of Sea-Elephants killed on the Californian and Mexican coasts
between the years 1880 and 1885 was 294, and of these 16 are preserved in
the Smithsonian Institute. The only other recorded specimens {i.e. preserved
in museums), besides a few skulls, are a young male and female obtained by
Prof. Marsh, and one male, 12 ft. long, in the collection of the Californian Academy
of Sciences, since destroyed in the recent earthcjuake. As no Sea-Elephants were
got after 1885, it was believed that Mirounga angustirostris was extinct. Therefore,
when Mr. Charles Harris, early in 1907, cabled the news that there were still
some Sea-Elephants alive on Guadaloupe Island, off the Mexican Coast, I at once
told him to get them. He first of all met with ill-luck, owing to rongh sea, while
proceeding from San Diego to Guadaloupe, and had to return. After his failure
with the steamboat (or, as he put it, " power-boat "), Mr. Harris went to San
Quintin, hired a sailing-boat, and succeeded in reaching Guadaloupe Island after
a very rough passage. After several days' search Mr. Harris located the herd
of Sea-Elephants on the opposite side of the island to his anchorage, on a
small beach against perpendicular cliffs over 3000 ft. high. After several weeks'
hard work in hurricane seas (twelve days running it was too rough to land)
Mr. Harris and his party killed fourteen Sea-Elephants, of which four entire
bulls, three cows, and two bulls' skeletons reached England safely. Throe bulls
and two cows were lost on two separate occasions by the upsetting of the boat
in the breakers.

Plate I. represents the cove where the vessel anchored ; Plate II., part of the
beach fre(juented by the Sea-Elephants, with eight of tuem asleep on the shore ;

MISCELLANEA ORNITHOLOGICA.

('lilTK'AL, NOMENCLATOKIAL, AND OTHER NOTES, MOSTLY ON
PALAEARCTIC BIRDS AND THEIR ALLIES.

By Dr. ERNST HARTERT.

Part V.*

Acrocephalus inexpectatus Ber. & Biamlii = A. arundinaceus orientalis.

IN the Annuaire du Mus. Zool. St. Petcrsb. v. p. 210 (1900) Messrs. Berezowski
and Bianchi described a Reed-Warbler from Southern Kausu under the name
of A. inexpectatus. Through the kindness of my friend Dr. Bianchi I have been
able to examine the type-specimen. It needed only a glance to perceive that the
example is a young bird of the year. The fluffy condition of the feathers of the
back, rump, and underside, and the russet-brown, somewhat spotty colour of
the upper surface prove beyond doubt that the bird is quite young. The authors
state tliat their type is an "adult female." It is strange how they conld have
made such a mistake. The end of the tail is entirely worn off — a thing which is
of common occurrence in young birds, which have softer rectrices than old ones,
and the tail can therefore not be measured with any attempt at accuracy ; the
anthors give the length of the tail as .58 mm., adding, "Tips of longer feathers
greatly injured." On the back are to be seen two or three feathers of the first
autnmn plumage. I have before me a female from Amnr Bay (17. viii. 1894) in
almost the same plumage as the type of A. inexpectatus, except that most of the
head is already covered with the featliers of the first autumn plumage, and tliat
some more such feathers are out on the back.

The wing of tlie type of ^1. inexpectatus is 7U mm. long, which is the
measurement of smaller females of A. arundinaceus oiientalis, in which the wing
varies from 76 to 80 mm. Moreover, Southern Kansu is within the range of
A. a. orientalis. There can therefore be no doubt that A. inexpectatus is a synonym
of ^1. a. orientalis.

On the Genus Scotocerca.

In the Bull. B. 0. Club xxi. p. 98 (May 1908) Mr. M. J. Nicoll described
as a new subspecies a Grass- Warbler, of which he obtained specimens in the
Wadi Hof, near Cairo, in Egypt. In his description he compared his supposed
new form only with Scotocerca inquieta saharae from Algeria and Tunis. Un-
fortunately Mr. Nicoll has fallen into an error in considering thi.s form to be
unnamed, for it has had already three names !

In 1826 Cretzschmar described it as " Malurus inquietus" from the Sinai
Peninsula. In 1828 Hemprich and Ehrenberg named it " Curruca Jamula," from

three skins collected in " Aegypto ntraque." Again, in 1807 (Uis, j). 76), Tristram
named the same form " Dn/moica eremita," from examples obtained in the
desolate wadis opening on the west side of the Dead Sea, and from Arabia Petraea,
i.e. the Sinai Feniusnla.

There is no mistake that the birds from the Dead Sea, the Sinai Peninsula
and the Wadi Hof belong to one and the same form. I have, through the
kindness of Mr. Nicoll, been able to compare five of his specimens, inclndiug
the t3-pe, two from the Sinaitic Peninsula, and three from Palestine, and there is
uo difference whatever between them. This form, the Scotocerca inquictus iiKj/i/etus,
differs from all the other forms of S. inquietus, except the much darker .S'. inquietus
buri/i Grant from South Arabia, in having a white superciliary line, this being
buff or rich cream-colour in the other races.
We must distinguish :

Scotocerca iiiquii'tus saharae. — Sahara of Algeria and Tunisia.

Scotocerca inquietus inquietus. — Cairo to Sinai and S. Palestine.

Scotocerca inquietus plat;/ura. — Transcaspia.

Scotocerca inquietus striatus. — E. Persia, Baluchistan, Afghanistan to
Punjab.

Scotocerca inquietus buri/i. — S. Arabia.
