they also belong to this specieSj with long rufous supercilia 

 and uniform rufous under-maudible. 



Mr. von Pelzelu unfortunately confounded C. cearensis 

 with his G. tviedi, saying in the diagnosis, " rostro brunneo, 

 niandibulse basi in individuis nonnullis plumbea/' His 

 specimens from Baliia {Sello) and Goiaz (Nati.) are un- 

 doubtedly referable to C. cearensis. 



Prof. Baird, in Rev. Am. Birds, p. 392, under the name of 

 G. viridis, describes a female from Parana (S. I. no. 20, 

 976), which evidently belongs to C. wiedi. He describes 

 his bird as follows : — " Bill rather dusky, under mandible 

 somewhat darker, but without a distinct spot as in C. 

 guiunensis. Forehead ochrey brown, this colour extending 

 narrowly above and beyond the eye to the nape." 



The synonymy of this species will stand as follows : —

I do not understand why Mr. Sclater does not accept the 

 term " viridis " for this species. Azara's description of his 

 " Habia verde,'" on which Vieillot based his Saltator viridis, 

 is as clear as it could be. In the French translation of Azara 

 it is said, " Un trait rougeatre qui prend aux narines, 

 passe au dessus des yeux,-*^ and further, " Le bee est rouge 

 de corail, terne en dessus, bleu en dessous.^^ 



This, I should think, is enough to prove that neither G. 

 ochrocephala nor G. wiedi, the only species which touch the 

 frontiers of Paraguay, can come into the question. Moreover, 



* Gadow refers Thamnophilus yuianensis, Pr. Wied, as a STnonym to 

 C. xckdi, but Pr. Wied's description evidently belongs to C. cearensis.
