1 have a single example of this Chlorophonia in my collection, 

 received by Mr. Gonld with other birds from Ecuador, from the 

 eastern slope of the Ancles, I believe. It appears to be the female 

 of some undescribed species of this group. It may be readily distin- 

 guished from other species by its yellow bill and pale-yellow feet, 

 and from C. longipennis, C. frontalis, and C. viridis, which are pro- 

 bably its nearest allies, by the absence of the blue round the eye.

Nigro-cceruleo-nitens : vitta frontali angusta fulvo-ftavida : ab- 

 domine saturate fulvojtavo, lateribus Jtavicantibus, tectricibus 

 subalaribus albis, citrine tinctis : rectrice una utrinque extima

 Hab. In Brasilia. 



Obs. Affinis E. xanthogastrce, sed fronte angusto aurescente, et 

 cervice nigra in ventrem magis producta facile dignoscenda. 



I have only a single specimen of this very distinct species of Eu- 

 phonia, which, from its make, is evidently a Brazilian skin. I re- 

 ceived it from M. Verreaux of Paris. 



8. Tanagra subcinerea. 



Flavicanti-olivacea, alis caudaque nigricantibus eodem colore lim- 

 batis ; pileo caruleo, margine postico ad nucham viridescente ; 

 lateribus capitis et loris nigris : subtus pure cinerea, subalari- 

 bus pallide Jtavis ; erisso fidvescenti-flavo : rostro nigro, rnan- 

 dibulo inferior e plumb e scent e ; pedibus carneis.

 Hab. In Venezuela et ins. S. Trinitatis. 



This Tanager is a climatic form of Tanagra cyanocephala of Trans- 

 andean Peru and Ecuador, and T. auricrissa of New Granada. It 

 most closely resembles the former bird, but may be distinguished by 

 the paler ashy colour of the lower surface, the duller yellowish-green 

 of the crissum, and the less extent of the yellow on the under parts 

 of the wings. The wings are also comparatively shorter, and there 

 is less olivaceous colouring on the flanks of the Venezuelan bird. In 

 the New Granadian T. auricrissa the under surface is tinged with 

 blue, and the crissum is golden yellow.
