Count von Berlepsch exlii bited his unique specimen o£ 

 Pipra opalizans Pelz., from Para; also a set of skins of 

 the interesting Idiopsar brachyurus Cass., hitherto repre- 

 sented by one specimen in the U.S. National Museum at 

 Washington, and a fine skin of Chrysolampis chlorolmnus 

 Elliot {=Lampornis calolmna Elliot), of which the true 

 locality had been till now unknown. It had been received 

 direct from Baliia, and was stated to be the third specimen 

 known in collections. 



Count von Berlepsch also laid on the table specimens of 

 three new birds from S.W. Colombia, viz., a Carpodectes 

 a Parrot of the genus Pionopsitta, and a Mijiadestes allied to 

 M. leucotis Tsch. These would be described in the forth- 

 coming number of tlie ' Journal fur Ornithologie.' 



Lastly, Count von Berlepsch exhibited a fine new Tanager 

 of the genus Buthraupis, recently sent by Mr. F. W. H. 

 Rosenberg from North-western Ecuador, and named in 

 honour of the Hon. Walter Rothschild. The unique speci- 

 men belonged to the Tring Museum, and was diagnosed as 

 follows : — 



Buthraupis rothschildi, sp. n. 

 B. corpore supra subtusque cum alis caudaque extus obscure 

 nigro-cyaneis, uropygio Isetiore ; capite gidaque nigres- 

 centibus, torque juyulari lato pulchre aurantio-flavo; 

 tectricibus, snbalaribvis subcaudalibusque necnon hypo- 

 chondriis pure flavis ; rostro pedibusque nigris. Al. 94 

 mm., caud. 53, culm. 16f, tars. 23. 

 Hab. Cachabe, N.W. Ecuador (500 feet). 

 This bird was stated to be allied to B. edwardsi of Elliot 

 from S.W. Colombia_, but to differ in having the back 

 and belly blue-black, the sides of the head black, and 

 the under tail- and wing-coverts bright yellow, all these 

 parts being olive-green in the other species, and in havin"- 

 a broad band of fine orange-yellow on the breast, there 

 being but a small yellow spot in the middle of the breast in 

 B. edwardsi.
