CG8 Count T. Salvadori on some 



of my volume, I find that there are four species to be added 

 to those mentioned in the ' Catalogue,' one of which requires 

 a new name. 



1. PvRRHUHA CHIRIPEPK (Vieill.). 



Of this species I have examined, besides a specimen ob- 

 tained by Dr. Borelli at Villa Rica, in Paraguay, three others, 

 a male and two females, from Tebicuari, not far from Villa 

 Rica, also obtained, but quite recently, by Dr. Borelli, and 

 two specimens, male and female, from Ypanema, in Turati's 

 Museum, collected by Natterer. 



On the receipt of the first specimen, I fully recognized 

 that Graf von Berlepsch's surmise (Journ. f. Orn. 1887, 

 p. 25), as to the Paraguayan bird being probably distinct 

 from the Brazilian P. vittata, was quite justified, and I took 

 the opportunity to publish a note on Pyrrhura chiripepe 

 (Vieill.)*. In this note I gave the iiistory of the species, its 

 synonymy, a Latiu description, and its probable distribution, 

 which from Central Paraguay (Asuncion and Villa Rica) 

 appears to extend, not only to Rio Grande do Sul, according 

 to Graf von Berlepsch's information (Zeitschr. ges. Orn. 

 1885, p. 163), but also north to Ypanema, in the Province of 

 Sao Paulo, as the two specimens in the Turati Museum, 

 collected by Natterer in that locality, certainly agree with 

 the Paraguayan ones. As to the birds obtained by Natterer 

 at Matto dentro, Curytiba, and Itarare, also in the Province of 

 Sao PaulOjit is most likely that they will be found to agree 

 with those from Ypanema, and to belong to P. chiripepe. 



The nearly allied P. vittata is confined to a more north- 

 eastern part of Brazil, especially in the Province of Minas 

 Geraes. 



The synonymy and distribution of Pyrrhura vittata and 

 of P. chiripepe requiring revision, I add them, according to 

 the most recent information.
