Hab. British Guiana (Schomb.).
Mus. Paris.
The, Guiana Cissopis is rather smaller than the common Brazilian
species, and the steel-bjack colour does not extend so far down the
back. The Paris Museum specimen of this bird seems to want the
white wing-spots. I am not confident as to the correctness of separating
this and the Brazilian bird.

Mus. Brit., Paris.
The Bogota Cissopis -seems distinct from the Brazilian, having
merely the upper neck steel-black, and the back all white. I am
not quite certain whether .d’Orbigny’s Bolivian examples are best
referable here. They seem to come pretty near the Gayenne bird.
