Guiana, whence the specimens had been sent by the late Henry 

 Whitely aaid received in this country after his death ; the 

 fifth was from Mr. Pratt, wlio was now exploring in the Cauca 

 Valley, Colombia, and had been sent in a collection of birds 

 made at a place called Valdivia, not far from Antioquia, 

 and 3800 feet above the sea-level.

 P. se/ii similis, sed capite summo multo grisescentiore, dorso 

 pallidiore, et abdomine flavescentiore distinguendus.

 H(ib. Aunai, British Guiana {H. Whitehj). 

 Obs. In his last collection the late Henry Whitely sent 

 several specimens of this species. It is closely allied to 

 P. senex, Scl. & Salv., of Eastern Ecuador, and, like the 

 latter, has the concealed spot of the crown pure white, but 

 differs in the points mentioned above.

Hub. Auuai, British Guiana (^H. Whitely).

yellow stripe, and the throat and area under the eye are white 



and not yellow as in T. guttatum, iu which the chin alone is 



white.

 tion.
