MM. Verreaux have transmitted to me an adult and young male, 

 and their MS. description of this species of Manakin, which they 

 consider distinct from the well-known Pipra leucocillaj and I am 

 inclined to think they are right. The hlack colour is generally more 

 intense in the present bird, the white extends further back down the 

 head, the wings are longer, and the bill rather shorter. They remark 

 that the Peruvian bird (which I have not yet seen) appears to be 

 the same as this species. 



FORMICARIIN^. 



12. CONOPOPHAGA CUCULLATA, Sp. HOV. 



C. supra hrunnescenti-olivacea, alis caudaque nigricantibus hrun- 

 nescente marginatis : capite toto et cervice postica cum gula et 

 tectricum alarum marginihus dare rufo-castaneis : plaga pectorali 

 alba : abdomine dilute cinereo, ventre medio et hypochondriis roseo 

 aut rufescente tinctis : tectricibus subalaribus flavicanti-brunneis : 

 rostra Jlavo: pedibus pallidis. 

 Long, tota 4*0, alae 2*7, caudse 1*1. 



The single specimen sent to me by MM. Verreaux is the only 

 example I have yet seen of this Conopophaga. It is not hkely to 

 be confounded with any other species of the genus that 1 am 

 acquainted with, its bright chestnut head and throat and white 

 pectoral patch rendering it eminently distinguishable. 



ICTERIN^. 



13. Sturnella ludoviciana (Linn.). 



A single bird transmitted by MM. Verreaux seems to belong to 

 this species. The yellow belly is rather brighter than in U.S. examples, 

 but at present I can discover no essential difference. It is singular, 

 if this is the North-American species, that the Mexican bird (Stur- 

 nella hippocrepis, Wagl.) is usually considered distinct. 



Emberizin^.

 Gm. S. N. i. 918. Tardivola macrourai Cab. M. H. p. 135 (note). 



A Bogota specimen of this bird which I have lately acquired agrees 

 with the true E. macrurus from Cayenne, and seems to be quite 

 distinct from the Brazilian E. marginalis (Temminck), with which it 

 is generally made synonymous. 



Tanagrin^. 



15. Chlorospingus xanthophrys, sp. nov. 



C. brunnescenti-olivaceus : loris nigricantibus: super ciliis curtis a 

 fronte ad oculum summum et corpore mediali subtus flavis: r astro 

 nigra : pedibus pallide brunneis. 

 Long, tota 4*7, alse 2 5, caudae 2*4.
