These specimens are quite adnlt, with the head all round naked. The bare 

 skin on the head is black excejit the forehead and a rim round the eye, which are 

 yellowish flesh-colonred. The only difference between the sexes seems to consist in 

 the greater amount of red on the thighs in the male bird. The latter is also rather 

 larger.

* I am not quite .sure wliethev .Marcgrave's description really rcfur.s to tlio bird, commonly oalleil 

 Jt. tuijtara. The latter is hitlierto only known from the Lower Amazon, where Marcgrave never 

 collected. 



f Count Salvadori (Cat. Birds xx. p. .S5H) clearly pointed out that the generic name Cairo cannot be 

 used for Psit1aeii.i melanmi'iilialiix, being a mere synonym of Jirotcigi'rii. Therefore PUmites Heine 

 should be accepted.
