Obs. E. granadensi affinis, loris fulvis nee albis distiu- 

 guendus. 



This speeies agrees elosely with E. granadensis in every 

 respect but the colouring of the large loral spot. As the two 

 specimens sent agi'ce in having this mark tinged with fulvous, 

 I conclude that they belong to a race allied to, but distinct 

 from, E. granadensis.

This very well-marked and beautiful species, though quite 

 unlike any other member of the genus in its coloration, comes 

 perhaps nearer to F. strigilata, Max., than any other. The 

 conspicuous markings of the head, the white throat, tinged 

 with fawn-colour, the black pectoral band, and the deep-chest- 

 nut breast of the male, as well as other minor features, render 

 it a remarkable bird. The collection contains only three spe- 

 cimens, one male and two females, all from Puna Island.
