The specimen does not bear ont the charactL'rs mentioned by me in Xoe. Zool.

 Bogota skins ; besides the cheeks and throat are distinctly washed with ])ale 

 greenish bine. An adnlt male from Salto do (iirao (Natterer coll., Vienna Mnsenm) 

 is not appreciably different from others fonnd in Bogota collections.

Rio Madeira, November 1829 (Natterer). 



Natterer's specimens are not different from others obtained in Venezuela and 

 Bahia. It may be mentioned that the two birds registered by Pelzeln s.n. 

 " Nemosia spec."M are young males of the present sjiecies.] 



• In J\'ov. Zool. xii. 190.5, p. 271, I employed the term vielanotis for the Brazilian race, under the 

 erroneous assumption that D. angelica ha 1 been based on Colombian specimens. However, D. met-aiwti/i 

 Strickl. is apparently a synonym o£ D. angelica, while the western form is entitled to the name 

 arcanyelica Bonap.
