 of this group, and, as will be noticed from the countries named 

 abovCj has a very extensive dispersion.

 Remarks on other recently discovered Species. By P. L.

(Plate XII.) 



The illustrated Monograph of the Genus Calliste, which I 

 published in 1858, contained figures and descriptions of fifty- 

 two species of this brilliant genus of Tanagers. 



In the Catalogue of my American collection, published in 

 1862, forty-nine species only were given, five of those recog- 

 nized in the monograph being then unrepresented in the col- 

 lection, but two additional species being included, namely 

 C. albiventris (united m the monograph to C. brasiliensis) and 

 C. cyanotis (discovered subsequently). 



In 1863, in an article published in this journal, " on Recent 

 Additions to the Genus Calliste"*, I gave an account of the 

 discoveries in this group which had been made up to that 

 time since the issue of my monograph. 



These were five in number, namely : — 



1. Calliste cyanotis. 4. Calliste doivi. 



2. lavinia. 5. hartlaubi. 



3. frantzii. 



In 1868, in another article published in this journal f, I 

 gave a description and figure of Calliste cabanisi, mihi ( = C. 

 sclateri, Cab. nee Lafr.), and remarked that this was the only 

 additional species I had met with since I had published the 

 previous article. 



In our ' Nomenclator Avium Neotropicalium,' published 

 in 1873, Mr. Salvin and I acknowledged fifty-six species of 

 the genus Calliste, our Calliste florida, described in 1869, 

 having been added to the list. We have also lately cliarac-
