 the absence of any scarlet patch in the centre of the yellow 

 throat. The four specimens examined measure as follows : —

In 1852 I first saw an example of this pretty species in the 

 Museo Civico at Milan, and pointed out to Dr. Cornalia the 

 probability of its being new to science^. Dr. Cornalia in 

 describing it was pleased to compliment me by calling it after 

 my name. 



There are two specimens of this bird in the British Mu- 

 seum, both obtained from Mr. Gould, and said to have been 

 originally received from the Rio Napo. One of them, from 

 which the above description has been taken, is adult, the 

 other is a young bird, and has the crimsou colour confined to 

 the throat. I have not yet seen the female of this species. 

 There is also a male example of this species in the Museum 



* There is, unfortunately, no record of the locality of this specimen ; 

 hut the probability is that it was one of the birds obtained by the Italian 

 traveller Osculati when he descended the Napo in 1847. See Osculati's 

 ' Esplorazione delle Regioni Eqiiatoriali,' Milan, 1854.
