This speeies is very easily distinguished among its olose affiaes by 

 tte narrow yellow head-band and white crissura. 



I have seen the type of Cabanis' E. minuta, and have no doubt 

 it is the female of this bird, the malė of which was aftervvards named 

 by Prince Bonaparte and Mr. Striekland alinost simultaneously. 



I have little doubt that Desmarest's Euphonia olivacea is also the 

 female of this bird, but the name is hardly sufficiently applicable to 

 warrant its adoption.
