 f)4J mm. 



? : al. 253 ; caud. 233 ; cnhn. 28J (14|) ; tars. 58i mm. 



These birds agree very well with Mr. Hellraayr's description of the type of 

 P. jac/ipeba Spix from Para in the Munich Museum, and also with Mr. Grant's 

 description oi P. jaciipeba. At the same time there can be no doubt, I think, that 

 P. marail Gmelin (e.x Buff. & Daubent.) is the same species. The species from 

 British Gniana named P. marail by M: Grant now wanting a name, I have much 

 pleasure in proposing for it the name 



P. granti.
