 ceous yellow, brighter or more yellow on the throat, ami somewhat

Habitat. A.ngostura, collected by F. Carmiol 11th March.

There is in the collection only one other specimen, collected 

 by -I. < Jarraiol, April 4th, ls07. 



Remarks. The two specimens agree in plumage and are 

 marked as males, judging from analogy I should consider them 

 to be females, but in coloring they are quite unlike the females 

 of any other Bpecies of the same genus; the head is uniform in 

 color with the hack, and has no indication of a crown spot ; the 



coloring above is of a clear green and below yellowish, with- 

 out any tinge of fulvous brown, which color prevails in the 

 plumage of the females of all the other species. 



I consider it without doubt to be a Phamicothraupis, and if 



the Bex is determined correctly, the coloration is of a very 



abnormal character. 



I have dedicated this specie- to Mr. V. Oarraiol, as a proper 

 acknowledgment of hi.- efficiency as a collector.
