I believe now that there is little doubt that the olive-backed bird 

 named T. darivini by Prince Bonaparte, and afterwards T. frugilegus 

 bv Tscbudi, is really the female of T. striata, though at one time I 

 thought otherwise. I have not yetseen the black-backed malė from 

 the westem side of the Andes ; but d'Orbigny's Bolivian coUection 

 in the Paris Museum contains examples of botb sexes from the 

 eastern side. 



If the birds from all the localities given are identical, which I be- 

 lieve to be the case, this Tanager presents an instance of a remark- 

 ably extensive geographic range for a bird of this family.
