Mus. Parisiensi, 



This is tlie species figured by Desmarest and Vieillot as the true 

 musica, and considered by me in my Synopsis of this genus, given in 

 the ' Contributions to Ornithology ' for 1851, to be that bird in an 

 immature statė. But on an examination of Desmarest' s types in the 

 Paris Museum, I agree with Prince Bonaparte (who has done nie 

 the honour to call this species E. sclateri) that it is apparently 

 distinct. 



A specimen of the female of this bird in the Derby Museum at 

 Liverpool bears the label " Tanagra flavifrons, Latham ;" and as 

 Latham's descriplion and Sparman's figure agree sufficiently well 

 with it, and this specimen is probabiy the type of Latham's deserip- 

 tion, I feel bound to employ the term flavifrons as the first-given 

 appellation of this Euphonia.
