Remnrk. — I have naraed this new bird BalUviani, in honour of 

 General Ballivian, President of the Republic of Bolivia, It is one of 

 the finest species of that section of the group to which the term 

 Odontophorus is no\v restricted, is nearly allied to the bird I have 

 named Odontophorus yuttatus, and may be readily rccognised by its 

 larger size and by the still more conspicuous marking of the under 

 surface. 



We are indebted to the researchea of Mr. Bridges for our know- 

 ledge of this beautiful bird.
