I think that some recent Naturalists have acted ratlier bastily in 

 uniting together the various rose-necked Becards into one species. 

 The present bird appears to me to be sufficiently distinct from P. 

 pectoralis of Cayenue, and M. de Lafresnaye has already pointed 

 out its difference from the BoHviau P. roseicoUis. From my spe- 

 cimens of the former it may be recognized by its hgbter colour 

 below, and the broader rose-coloured bar on the throat. Besides, 

 the second abnormally short primary of the adult malė has not the 

 large white blotch on the interior web which is observable in the P. 

 pectoralis. 



121. Pachyrhamphus MARGINATUS (Licht.) ? 

 Sall4 no. 184. 



A single specimen of a bird of the general appearance of the 

 S. American P. marginatus, which has been divided into several 

 subspecies by Dr. Kaup (P. Z. S. 1851, p. 48), but showing rather 

 broader white margins to the wings and tail.

Three specimens all alike (one of which is marked 'malė') seem 

 to agree with the female of the bird figured by Mr. Cassin, Birds 

 of Cal. pi. 27, under the name of C. mexicana. The specimen 

 marked ' mule ' is possibly therefore not adult, as there are no traces 

 of the black cap.
