56. Chiroxyphia regina, Sclater, Aan. N. H. June 1856, p. . 



Rio Javarri. 



I am quite pleased at meeting with another exaiiiple of this pretty 

 Manikin, which I described from Natterer's types in the Vierma 

 Museum. 



57. loDOPLEURA ISABELL.B (Parz.) ; IcoD. Om. pi. 68. 



Rio Javarri. 



Prince Bonaparte gives Yenezuela as the habitat of this species. 

 Mr. Bates's specimens are from the Rio Javarri, and Mr. Wallace ob- 

 tained specimens on the river Tocantins in September 1848. The 

 I. pipra is from S. Eastern Brazil, while /. laplacii — a scarce spe- 

 cies, only possessed, I believe, by the Paris Museum — is said to be 

 from British Guiana. 



58. Ara aracanga (Linn.). 

 Rio Javarri. 



59. Ara severa (Linu.). 

 Rio Javarri. 



Mr. Bates has sent two examples of the species, one of vvhich is 

 very much varied \vith red below. 



60. CoNURUS GuiANENSis (Linn.). 



61. CoNURUS MELANURUS (Spix). 



Tunantins. 



62. PioNUS MENSTRUus (Linu.). 

 Rio Javarri. 



63. Caica barrabandi (Kuhl). 

 Rio Javarri. 



64. Caica histrio (Bodd.), PI. Enl. 744. 

 Rio Javarri. 



65. Caica xanthomeria, G. R. Gray in Mus. Brit, 



This apparently new species, of which the only two specimens 

 sent have passed into the collection of the British Museum, closely 

 resembles C. leiicogastra, Kuhl {hadiceps, Lear), but has the flanks 

 and thighs yellow instead of green, and exhibits some minor varia- 

 tions in shades of colouring. 



66. Psittacula ? 



A bird of this difficult little group, different from any I have 

 before seen — perhaps referable to Souance's P. cyanopygia. 



67. Ramphastos cuvieri, Wagl. ; Gould, Mon. Raraph. ed. 2, 

 pi. 8.
