Mr. P. L. Sclater on the Arrangement of the Galbulidse. 71 



6. Galbula fuscicapilla, Sclater, sp. nov. 



<? LcBte viridis ; fronts et pileo summo fuscis : nucha paululum 

 cyanescente : mento albido : ventre crissoque intense castaneis : 

 rectricibus extimis rufis, quatuor mediis supra viridibus dorso 

 concoloribus. Long, tota 8*0, alae 3'0, caudse 3*5. 



? Ventre valde dilutiore. 



Hab. In Nova Grenada, Bogota. 



I have hitherto confounded this species with the G. tombacea, but 

 the examination of several examples of the latter bird in the conti- 

 nental museums has convinced me that they are quite distinct, the 

 tombacea presenting no appearance of the fuscous crown which di- 

 stinguishes this species. In one of my specimens, apparently the most 

 adult, the green descends much lower down than in others I have 

 seen. The two outer rectrices of this bird are, as is usual in this 

 genus, abnormally small. The first outer normal pair are rufous, 

 tipped and externally edged with green. This green is blackish 

 below, but above vivid as the back. The next two pair are wholly 

 rufous. The middle four are vivid green above, and blackish-green 

 below; the submedial pair having some rufous colouring inwardly 

 towards the base.

I have lately seen many specimens S and $ of this species. The 

 male has a white bar on the throat, as in 6r. albirostris, with which 

 it is certainly very closely allied. In his * Conspectus Zygodacty- 

 lorum,' Prince C. L. Bonaparte unites this species with G. leuco- 

 gastray with which it has nothing to do. In the * Conspectus 

 Anisodactylorum,' the origin of this error is attributed to an opinion 

 of mine that they were identical (!), which however I never either 

 expressed or entertained. 



9. cyanicollis, Cassin. Synopsis, p. 6. sp. 8. 



Specimens of this bird in the Berlin Museum, — the types of G, 

 cyanopogon, Cab., — are from Cameta, which is on the south of the 

 Amazon, in the province of Para. The female is pale rufous below, 

 instead of chestnut-red .
