nigricantibus, extus olivaceo limbatis ; superdliis distinctis 

 albis ; lateribus capitis cinereis : subtus albus, abdomine toto 

 et tectricibus subalaribus flavo perfusis : rostra superiore 

 plumbeOy inferiore albicante, pedibus plumbeis. 



Long, tola 4*75, alse 2*6, caudse T8. 



Seven ex. c? and $ . The c? s brighter below. " Irides dark 

 hazel ; contents of stomach, insects." 



This is the only Fireo with a first spurious primary (in this bird 

 measuring 0'7 inch from its insertion) which I have yet seen from 

 Southern America. In form it is somewhat similar to V. novebora- 

 censis. I have named it at Mr. Eraser's request after Senora Josefa 

 Borja y Davilos, who, with other members of the same family, ren- 

 dered every facility to Mr. Fraser in forming his collections on their 

 estates at Pallatanga. The only other species of this group of 

 which I have seen S. American examples are Vireosylvia olivacea 

 of the U.S., which extends into New Granada, and V. agilis 

 (Lanius agilis, Licht.) from Brazil, and extending northwards to 

 New Granada. I do not know Vireosylma frenata of DuBus (Bull. 

 Ac. Brux. xxii. p. 150), said to be from Ocana in New Granada ; 

 but the description given agrees with Fireo altiloquus of the An- 

 tilles. 



NEMOSIA ORNATA. 



Fuscescenti-cinerea olivaceo tincta ; capite toto undique et cor- 

 pore subtus saturate cinnamomeo-rufis ; gula jlavicantiore ; 

 venire medio albo : rostro superiore nigro, inferiore cum pedi- 

 bus plumbeis. 



Long, tota 4*7, alee 2*4, caudse 2*0. 



Three ex. " Bill black above, blue below ; feet and legs blue : sto- 

 mach contained insects." This pretty new species of Nemosia is a 

 close ally of N. sordida and N. ruficeps of my Synopsis, but is con- 

 spicuously different in colouring. 



ANABATES SUBALARIS. 



Fusco-brunneus : uropygio et cauda tota saturate ferrugineis : 

 striis capitis et colli superioris, plumarum scapas occupantibus t 

 cum gula tota et striis pectoris latioribus pallide cervinis : tec- 

 tricibus subalaribus dare cinnamomeis : rostro superiore nigro, 

 inferiore plumbeo : pedibus virescentibus. 



Long, tota 675, alee 3'5, caudae 3'0. 



Five ex. "Irides dark hazel." 



ANABATES TEMPORALIS. 



Rufescenti-brunneuSy cauda ferruginea ; capite olivascente, ocu- 

 lorum ambilu et superdliis ante oculos angustis cum gula tota 

 stramineisy striga superdliari post oculum, pectore toto et tec- 

 tricibus subalaribus dare cinnamomeis : venire crissoque fusees- 

 centibus : rostro fuscescenti-viridi t apice pallidiore : pedibus 

 fusds.
