19. Euphonia chlorotica {Linn.). — A male and female taken June 

 19, 18S7. 



[The male has the purplish reflections confined to the occiput, hind 

 neck and throat, and measures: wing, 2.15; tail, 1.24; oilmen .30 in. 

 The female measures: wing, 2.0S; tail, 1.15; culmen, .30 in. — F. M. C] 



20. Calliste cayana {Linn.). — A male and female shot on the campos 

 July 14, 1SS4. 



21. Calliste boliviana (Bp.). — One male and two females, taken respec- 

 tively July 22 and 30, 1884, and June 6, 1SS7. 



[The male has the abdomen of the same shade of yellow as in speci- 

 mens from Bolivia and Ecuador, the lesser wing-coverts, however, are 

 turquoise blue, mixed with the blue of the greater coverts, in some cases 

 both colors appearing on the same feather. The specimen thus shows an 

 approach to Calliste mexicana (Linn.). — F. M. C.J 



22. Tanagra episcopus (Linn.). — Common, particularly on the campos. 

 [Two of three specimens, are, on comparison with a Guianan skin, 



evidently referable to this form, but the third, a male taken June 1, 1SS7, 

 shows a decided approach to Tanagra episcopus leucoptera (Gray), the 

 greater wing-coverts having a distinct margin of bluish white. — F. M. C.J 



23. Tanagra palmarum melanoptera Hart/. — Very common. 

 [Comparison of the 21 specimens in the Riker and Smith collections 



with a series of forty odd examples of true palmarum from Matto Grosso, 

 which agree with Maximilian's type, show that melanoptera is distin- 

 guished from palmarum, not alone by the greenish edgings to the wing 

 and tail feathers, but more especially by the darker centres of the 

 feathers of the back, and the peculiar purplish suffusion which in 

 melanoptera is uniformly stronger and darker than in palmarum. — F. 

 M. C.J 



24. Rhamphoccelus jacapa (Linn.). — Very common. 



25. Phcenicothraupis rhodinolaema Salv. &• Godm. — [A female taken 

 July 15, 18S7, is referred by Mr. Ridgway to this species, thus extending 

 its range from the Upper to the Lower Amazon. — F. M. C.J 



[26. Lanio atricapillus (Gm.). — " Santarem, May 27; not com- 

 mon."*— F. M. C.J 



27. Tachyphonus cristatus (Gm.). — A female taken July 15. 1SS7, on tne 

 ' mountain.' 



2S. Tachyphonus luctuosus Lajr. & a" Orb. — A male taken July 5, 1S87, 

 on the ' mountain.' 



[Not before recorded from the Lower Amazon. — F. M. C.J 



[29. Tachyphonus melaleucus (Sparrm.). — A male taken by Williams, 

 June, 18S3.— F. M. C.J 



30. Lamprospiza melanoleuca (Vieill.). — Two males taken July 15, 

 18S7, on the ' mountain,' feeding in the tops of tall trees. 



31. Saltator magnus (Gm.). — Common in the lowlands. Its song 

 resembles that of our Rose-breasted Grosbeak (/Labia ludoviciana). 



32. Pitylus grossus (Linn.). — A female taken in some underbrush on 

 the lowlands, August 5, 1884.
