27. Thamnophilus melanurus, Gould ? 



A female specimen, probably referable to the New Greuadian 

 species. 



28. Sturnella ludoviciana (Linn.) ? 



" Paxaro Savanero." Amongst the grass on the plain near David. 

 Very tame, and when disturbed does not fly far, but runs much. 



29. Yphantes baltimorensis (Linn.). — Bp. Consp. p. 432. 

 Already noticed as far south as Real del Monte in Mexico by Bul- 



lock (Sw. Phil. Mag. 1827, p. 436), and Guatimala by Prince Bona- 

 parte (P. Z. S. 1837, p. 116). 



30. Saltator magnoides, Lafr. 



31. Ramphoceltjs dimidiatus, Lafr. Mag. de Zool. Ois. pi. 81 

 (1837). 



32. Ramphocelus passerinii, Bp. 



Both these Ramphoceli are tolerably eommon, and generally met 

 with together iu the bushy underwood on the margins of the rirers. 

 They feed on the fruit of a small species of Ficus. They are always 

 seen near the water. 



33. Pyranga ^stiva (Linn.), P. Z. S. 185.5, p. 156. 



" Sangue del Toro," Not uucommonly met with near the Bo- 

 queti on the tops of the trees. 



34. Tanagra diaconus, Less. 



" Azulejo." The commonest bird in the country. Very abun- 

 dant in the town of David. 



35. Calliste gyroloides (Lafr.). 



Tbis is a wide-ranging species, extending hence to the head-waters 

 of the Amazon in Bolivia, where specimens were obtained by d'Or- 

 bigny, that is, from 8' north latitude to 18' south latitude. 



Mr. Bridges says it was not eommon at David. It is fomid on 

 the high trees near the town, and feeds on the fruit of the sraall- 

 fruited Ficus. 



36. Calliste francisc.e (Lafr.). — Aglaiafanny (! !), Lafr. R. 

 Z. 1847, p. 72 ; Des Murs, Icon. Orn. pi. 56, fig. 1. 



Tbis species appears distinct from Calliste larvata of Du Bus, to 

 which it is usually united. The general colouring is pretty much 

 the šame, but the tints are still brighter in the present bird, and the 

 head in particular is paler. 



Mr. Bridges obtained a single specimen only of tbis beaufiful Ta- 

 nager, from the tops of the high trees on the banks of the river 

 David. 



37. Euspiza americana (Linn.). 



Already noticed as far south as Nicaragua, and lately received by 

 MM. Verreaux of Paris from S. Martha on the north coast of New 

 Granada. Found in small flocks near David.
