This Tanager was first well-distinguished from C. flaviventris o{ 

 tayenne by Pnnce Bonaparte, who proposed to retain for it the 

 Linnsean name mexicana. This I eanuot assent to, as the bird has 

 nothing to do with Mexico ; and moreover, if that name is used at 

 all, lt mušt be applied to the Cayenne bird, as Linn^us's species 

 was grounded pnucipally ou Brisson's Tang. cayennensis ccenelea. 



The Calliste vieilloti is eommou in collections from Trinidad, and
