by Mr. Buckley, which were obtained by him at a place 

 called Yauayaca, in Ecuador. This locality is probably not 

 far from Sarayacu, a village on the Bobonassa river, a con- 

 fluent of the Pastazza. It seems probable, from what Prof. 

 Baird says, that the specimen belonging to the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia examined by him also 

 appertains to this species. 



The Plate is taken from one of Mr. Buckley's Ecuador 

 specimens.

This species, first obtained by Eraser at Matos, and subse- 

 quently at Lloa, in Ecuador, has since been sent in considerable 

 numbers from that country, and during the last few years 

 by Mr. Buckley from San Lucas and Sical. 



On receipt of Eraser's first specimens, Mr. Sclater deter- 

 mined them to belong to Raup's S. ruficoronata, concluding 

 he had before him the bird so meagrely described by that 

 author. This determination remained unquestioned until 

 Prof. Baird wrote his able ' Review of American Birds,' the 

 non-completion of which must always be a subject of great 

 regret. When examining the members of the genus Seto- 

 phaga, Prof. Baird found good reason to doubt the correctness 

 of Mr. Sclater's identification, and added that^ should his 

 suggestion prove well founded, he was not aware of any pub- 

 lished name that properly belonged to the bird now under 

 consideration.
