3. EUPHOXIA. 61 



Mauge's specimens of this species are still in the Paris Museum, 

 and were formerly confounded by me (Contr. Orn. 1851, p. 82) with 

 Euphonia musica. Bonaparte (Rev. Zool. 1851, p. 138) also fell 

 into the same error, but on discovering the mistake designated the 

 species in MS. E. scJaftri, which name was adopted by Sundevall. 

 The Porto-liico bird is clearly distinguishable by the absence of the 

 black throat.
