466 jSIr. P. L. Sclater on the Species 0/ Chlovochrysa. 



Chapoul, and labelled '' Aglaia chapoul" by the late well- 

 kuowu bird-dealer, Parzudaki. One of these is still in my 

 possession. I have also a sin-,^le immature specimen of the 

 regular " Bogota " make, purchased of a London dealer in 

 1853. 



An accurate figure of the species is given in the ' Contri- 

 butions to Ornithology ' for 1851, above referred to.

 Hub. ^quatoria transandeana. 



So far as I know, this Tanager is restricted to Transandean 

 Ecuador, vs^here it was first obtained by M. Bourcier during 

 his consulship at Quito. M. Bourcier's skins were collected 

 near Nanegal, a village situated ten leagues from Quito, on 

 the slopes of Pichincha, at an elevation of about 4000 feet 

 above the sea-level. Mr. Eraser visited the same spot in 

 February 1859, and obtained a single skin of this species, 

 which, as also one of M. Bourcier^s specimens, is now in my 

 collection. I have never seen the species from any other 

 locality. Mr. Eraser notes the iridcs as " hazel."
