Birds from Bahia, S. Patilo and Paraguay are much larger, the wing measuring 

 59 — 04 mm.

Besides these specimens, we possess another c? ad. from Bemfiea, collected by 

 Professor Rteere. They agree perfectly with a series from British Guiana. 



There is a cnrious mistake in the nomenclature of this specie.s. Rclater {Cat. 

 Birds .xi.p. 81) quotes as the original deserijition : " Tunagra cayana Linn., 6'. N. i. 

 [ed. xii. 1766] p. :515," but this account refers to Calospiza crnjana = Cidlisfe 

 cuyana auct. ! ! The Etiphojiin is described on the next page (p. 316) under the 

 same term, viz. T. caj/ana (ex Brisson : Cayenne). This second name, being 

 preoccupied by tliat of page 315, must give way to 7'. cayennensis of Gmelin.

Tills specimen is slightly )'onnger than the one sent by Robert. The orange- 

 rufous shonhler-spot is less extended, the blue of the rnmp and breast paler and 

 still mixed with pale green, and the chestnnt-rufous of the head duller. 



Dr. Lorenz kindly sent me the type belonging to the Vienna Museum, and 

 I find that the supposed differences in coloration do not exist, Natterer's specimen 

 having the sides of the body and the throat green like those from Para ; but the 

 latter have a decidedly larger bill. The type of C. albertinae, however, being 

 immature, a series from the Bio Madeira is reipiired to confirm the constancy of 

 this slight difference or otherwise.
