XLII. — On two recently discovered Additions to the Genus 

 Calliste. By P. L. Sclater, D.Sc, F.R.S. 



(Plate XII.) 



The beautiful Tanagers of the genus Calliste have been a 

 frequent subject of my studies ever since I began orni- 

 thological work, and I feel much indebted to Mr. Walter 

 Rothschild for allowing me to figure two recently described 

 additions to this attractive group from specimens in the 

 Tring Museum. 



One of the first papers I ever wrote on birds was a '' Synopsis 

 of the Tanagrine Genus Calliste," which appeared in Jardine's 

 'Contributions to Ornithology' for 1851. It contained 

 descriptions of 48 species, which were divided into eight 

 groups, not, however, considered as being even of subgeneric 

 value, but employed solely for convenience of arrangement. 



In 1854 I made another list of the species of Calliste in 

 my ' Tanagrarum Catalogus Specificus,' in which I separated 

 the " Procnopides " as a genus. In doing this, however, I 

 think that I made a mistake. 



In 1856, in my '' Synopsis Avium Tanagrinarum,^^ pub- 

 lished in the Zoological Society's ' Proceedings,' I took care 

 to reduce " Procnopis" to its proper level, as being merely a 

 subdivision of Calliste, and made the number of species then 

 known to be 51.
