66. Chlorochrysa ph(enicotis (Bp.). 



A male from above Nanegal, Western Ecuador. As \\\ 

 the case of the preceding species, it was shot among the 

 thick creepers which festooned a tall tree in the forest. 

 Confined to the western side of the Western Andes. Evi- 

 dently by mistake, Buckley stated that his skins came from 

 Sarayacu and the Napo. 



67. PiPRIDEA MELANOTA VENEZUELENSIS (Scl.) . 



One male from Pichincha (11 ,000 feet) in December, and 

 two males from Papallacta, E. Andes (11,500 feet), in Feb- 

 ruary. All our three skins appear to be those of males, yet 

 the Pichincha bird has a mauvish-coloured head and rump 

 and a deep blue-black mantle, while the Papallacta specimens 

 have the head and rump of a more turquoise shade and the 

 mantle bluish slate-colour, the outer margin of the wing- 

 feathers being edged with the same. Iris in all cases bright 

 red. The stomachs contained berries. 



68. Procnopis vassori (Boiss.). 



Nine adult males, three young males, and four females 

 from Canzacota, Gualea, and Mindo, Western Ecuador, 

 between 6500 and 8000 feet, and Baeza, Eastern Ecuador, 

 5000 feet. The birds are seen singly or in pairs, and fre- 

 quent the higher trees, often in company with various species 

 of Calliste. The stomachs of several contained little but 

 insects, in the case of those from Mindo only berries. The 

 females and young males are more dingy. 



69. Calliste yeni (Lafr. & D'Orb.). 



Two males from the Coca, Rio Napo, and Iquitos, Upper 

 Amazon respectively. The Coca specimen was shot in the 

 clearing by the hut in which we were staying, but the other 

 was caught among the banana-trees in a small garden in 

 the centre of the town of Iquitos. It was kept alive for 

 several days tied to a perch by a string around its leg, and 

 ■was brought to me after it died. 



70. Calliste rufigularis (Bp.). 



Ten males and four females from Mindo, Intaj, and other
