M. Salle' s examples of this bird are much more brightly coloured 

 than any S. American specimens which have come under my obser- 

 vation. The belly is also wholly of a pale sulphur-yellow, instead 

 of being only tinged with that colour. When the group is properly 

 worked out, this will probably be found to constitute a sufficiently 

 distinct species.
