Hab. Columbia int. ; /Equatoria et Peruvia. 



I have never seen Peruvian skins of this species ; but so far 

 as can be told from Tschudi^s description, they do not diflFer 

 from those of Ecuador and Columbia. Tschudi gives the 

 wood-region of North and Middle Peru as its habitat ; but I 

 suppose he met with it in the district of Junin, east of Lima, 

 where most of his birds were obtained, and where Jelski also 

 collected specimens at Amable Maria and Pumamarca. 



In Ecuador G. calliparia seems to occur in the wooded 

 valleys on both sides of the great range. Bourcier obtained 

 specimens in the valley of Banos, near Tungaragua, one of 

 which is now in my collection ; and a single skin of an imma- 

 ture bird was in Verreaux's large series from the Rio Napo, 

 which I catalogued in 1858. 



As regards Columbia, this Tanager is found, though not 

 very frequently, in " Bogota^^ collections. The first examples 

 of it which I ever saw were brought to Paris in 1850 by a ]\I.
