60. Tachyphonus De Lattrei, Lafresnaye. 



Tachyphonus De Lattrei, Lafres. Rev. Zool. 1847, p. 72. 



Falls of the Truando. 



" Seen once only, in the bushes on the hank of the Rio Truando, in the 

 month of March. About twenty specimens which seemed to be in company, 

 were noticed and several obtained, though they were very shy arid not easily 

 approached. All chattered together like a flock of blackbirds, and appeared 

 to be feeding on a berry that was abundant." (Mr. C. J. Wood). 



61. Tachyphonus xanthopyghjs, Sclater. 



Tachyphonus xanthopygius, Sclater, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1354, p. 158. 

 Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1854, pi. 69, 1855, pi. 90. 



From the Truando. 



The male only, of this handsome and remarkable species, precisely as figured 

 by Mr. Sclater. 



" The wildest bird I met with in the whole journey. A portion of the sur- 

 veying party remained fifteen days at a camp in the Cordilleras, on the Rio 

 Truando, where only this bird was obtained, and was so very shy and watch- 

 ful, that it was with difficulty obtained. Three specimens were together and 

 were observed to always resort to one tree to roost, and constantly frequenting 

 the highest trees. Very active and perpetually on the move from one tree to 

 another, notes loud and musical, somewhat like those of the Baltimore Oriole 

 of the United States." (Mr. C. J. Wood). 



62. Tachyphonus? 

 Falls of the Truando. 



One specimen labelled as a female, but which is of no species with which 

 I am acquainted, nor find described. Not having the male I do not venture a 

 description. 



63. Calliste francesc^, (Lafresnaye). 



Aglaia Fanny, Lafres. Rev. Zool. 1847, p. 72. 

 Des Murs. Icon. Orn. pi. 56. 

 From Turbo. 



" In a tree that grows along streams of water, on the fruit of which it feeds. 

 Rather shy and not easily approached, very quick and active." (Mr. C. J. 

 Wood). 



64. Calliste inornata, Gould. 



Calliste inornata, Gould, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1855, p. 158. 

 Sclater, Monog. Calliste, pi. 45. 

 From Turbo. 



Probably the female or young, of the preceding, (C.francescce), and given 

 by us as distinct, with some reluctance. The specimens in the collection are 

 very nearly as described and figured as cited above. 



" In the same tree, and appeared to be in company with the preceding, and 

 thought by my brother and myself to be the female of that bird. " (Mr. C. J. 

 Wood). 



65. Calliste Lavini^:, Cassin. 



Calliste Lavinia, Cass. Proc. Acad. Philadelphia, 1858, p. 178. 



From the river Truando. 



We have much gratification in finding in the present collection, the second 

 specimen that we have ever seen of this interesting little species, though not 

 in mature plumage. It bears, however, the characteristic edging of rufous on 

 the outer webs of the quills, and is easily recognised. 



"Shot at camp Toucey, in the mountains on the Rio Truando. In high 

 trees, very active and lively, and not easily obtained, though not often seen, 

 March, 1858." (Mr. C. J. Wood).
