Three specimens of what would at first sight appear to1!to N . guira,
in my possession, two of which are from New Grenada and the third
from Peru, offer such a marked difference ifi- the length of the wing
on comparison with specimens from the eastern coast, that I canftot
avoid separating them specifically. They are also distinguishable, as
the yellow colour is more developed on the sides of -the. neck, but
does not form a band between the breast and black throat, as in
N . guira. And in the N.g u irin a the breast has more jof afleep- chestnut
tinge, which extends quite iip to the black-throat.
Perhaps d’Orbighy’s Bolivian N . guira may be rather referable to
this species than to the previous bird.; *

I possess three specimens of this Nemosia, male, female and young
male, out of a .collection formed, I believe, in the southern part of
Brazil. They are certainly larger in all their dimensions than the
N . fldvicollis, besides showing the other differences above noted, and
I think can hardly be passed over as merely a local variety of that
fcpecies,
