This curious bird lias long beea common in European collections, 

 being often transmitted from Bahia. From its appearance one would 

 suppose it to be a female, but M. Julės Verreaux (who has himself 

 shot it in the island of Itaparica) infornas me that the natives con- 

 sider it a distinct species. 



Lesson's description of his Pyrrhula abeillei " corpore isabellino : 

 occipite, dorso et cauda supra brunneo-isabellinis : infra fronte et colio 

 Itete isabellinis : alarum pennis nigris extus rufis," is, I think, suffi- 

 ciently accurate to warrant us using his specific name for this bird.
