Birds of Paraguay . 65 



a. <$ ad. Sapucay, May 15, 1903. 



Bill deep crimson ; feet crimson; iris orange-brown. 



b. ? ad. Sapucay, August 31, 1904. 



Mr. Foster considers this bird to be very rare in Central 

 Paraguay. 



Count Salvadori (Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xxi. p. 565) refers 

 Azara's bird to G. montana, but the description is evidently 

 that of G. vio/acea, and the specimens sent by Mr. Foster 

 confirm this, as also does the series in the British Museum. 

 The bird described by Azara does not appear to liave been 

 named by Vieillot.
