502 Mr. O. Salvin on Birds 



Besides the species just mentioned Mr, Whitely obtained 

 several pairs of Lathria streptophora (Ibis, 1884'; p, 448 

 pi. 14), the female of wliieh may be described as follows : — 



Lathria streptophora. 

 $ mari similis, sed torque cervicali rosaceo uuUo, crisso 

 pallide castaneo nee rosaceo differt. 



Several pairs of Pipreola whitelyi (Ibis, 1884, p. 449) 

 are also in the collection, the male being previously unknown. 

 I take this opportunity of describing the male and figuring 

 specimens of both sexes of this beautiful bird. 



Pipreola whitelyi. (Plate XII.) 

 (J supra olivaceus,fronte, superciliis et torque cervicali postico 

 aurantiacis ; subtus cinereus, plaga magna pectorali laete 

 coccinea utrinque in ochraceum transeunte ; crisso rufes- 

 cente; alis et cauda nigricanti-fuscis, extus saturato 

 ochraceo-brunneo limbatis ; rostro corallino-rubro ; 

 pedibus pallide rubris. Long, tota 7"0j alee 3"6, caudse 

 2 7, rostri a rictu 0"75, tarsi 0*85 . 



Hab. Roraima (alt. 6000 ft.), Twek-quay Mt. (alt, 

 3000 ft.). 



The male of this fine form turns out to be quite different 

 from any species hitherto described, and can be compared 

 with advantage with none of them. The ashy under plumage, 

 with its distinct scarlet breast-spot, serves to distinguish it 

 at once from all its congeners. 



I have also to notice that Mr. Whitely obtained a male of 

 the Discura left undetermined in the previous list. It proves 

 to be inseparable from the Brazilian D. longicaudata. The 

 specimen was shot on the Carimang Eiver. 



It is further necessary to make two corrections in the 



foregoing list. 



Phonipara fumosa, no. 119, turns out to be identical with 

 Amaurospiza unicolor of Cabanis, and our specimens are 

 inseparable from others from Periiambuco {Forbes). This 

 species must therefore stand as follows : —
