They seemed to feed entirely on bei'ries and fruit. Iris 

 reddish brown. 



92. CoMPSOCOMA NOTABiLis (Jard.). 



One male, apparently of this species, was obtained on the 

 lower part of the western side of Pichincha, at an altitude of 

 about 7000 feet. 



93. DUBUSIA TiENIATA (BoisS.). 



Three males from Pichincha (11,000 feet) and one female 

 from Papallacta, East Ecuador, which has the rump dark 

 green. These birds make a loud chattering noise. Iris 

 bright red. 



94. Tanagra ccELESTis (Spix). 



Our specimens were procured at Archidoua at the foot of 

 the Eastern Andes, which was the only place in the Napo 

 district where we met with them. We did not see any more 

 until we reached Para, at the mouth of the Amazon, where 

 some were flitting about among the palms in the centre of the 

 city. They looked to me to be of the same species, having 

 white shoulders, which are very conspicuous when the birds 

 are flying. They have quite a sweet song, and I often heard 

 them singing in the Chonta palms around our hut at Archi- 

 dona. They are generally found in pairs, and keep to the 

 higher trees. 



95. Tanagra caxa Sw. 



Common in the hot forest-regions of Western Ecuador, 

 at Santo Domingo, GuanaciJlo, and other places, where they 

 frequent the banana-plantations and the fruit-trees around 

 the huts. Specimens from the foot of the hills seem to be 

 less blue than those from farther down into the forests. 

 Local name, '' Azulejo." 



96. Tanagra palmarum, Max. 



The subspecific term ' violilavata,' of Berlepsch and 

 Taczanowski (P. Z. S. 1883, p. 546), probably applies to the 

 West Ecuadorian form of this species, of which we obtained 

 many examples in the clearing at Santo Domingo ; but 

 those we shot at Archidona, at the foot of the Eastern
