* [Saltator olivascens, Cab. 



The series of this Saltator collected by Mr. Wyatt and his assistant 

 seem to prove that Saltator Jlaviclicollis, Scl. (P. Z. S. 1860, p. 274) de- 

 scribed from Ecuadorean specimens collected by Fraser, is either the 

 female or young of the present bird. — P. L. S. & O. S.] 



t [Pheucticus rROPYGiALis, Scl. et Salv. P. Z. S. 1870, p. 840. 



Described from Bogota skins, with which Mr. Wyatt's single specimen 

 fuUy agrees.— P. L. S. & O. S.]
