Dr. Cornalia, to whom I owe many thanks for the honour he has 

 done me in calling this elegant hird after my name, rightly insists on 

 the claims of priority of De Filippi's genus Euchlornis over Lafres- 

 naye's Pyrrhorhynchus. But both these names must, I think, give 

 way to Swainson's term Pipreola, established in 1838 (Animals in 

 Menag. p. 357), the type of which, his P. chlorolepidota, seems 

 closely allied to D'Orbigny's Ampelis viridis. I was rejoiced to see 

 this bird in the present collection, as it clears up a mystery about 

 its habitat, which Dr. Cornalia supposed to be Peru or Bolivia. But 

 I have now no doubt that the type specimen in the Museo Civico at 

 Milan, which is the only other I have seen, came, as the present, 

 from the province of Quixos, and was probably collected there by 

 the enterprising Itahan traveller Osculati. 



39. Pipreola Piefferi (Boiss.). 



Ampelis Rieferi, Boiss. Rev. Zool. 1840, p. 3. 



40. Laniisoma arcuatum, Swains. 



This generic name of Swainson's must be used as prior by several 

 years to Ptilochloris of the same author. M. de la Fresnaye has re- 

 cently reunited his Ptilochloris retnigialis to the type species arcuata, 

 but I am sure that there are two birds confounded under this name, 

 though I have not yet seen enough specimens to enable me to distin- 

 guish them accurately. The P. rufo-olivaceus and virescens of La- 

 fresnaye, described in the Revue Zoologique, 1838, p. 238, do not, I 

 think,' belong strictly to this genus. They have both been pre- 

 viously named by Prince Maximilian of Xeuwied, the first as Muscicapa 

 turdina, Beit. iii. 817, the second as Muscicapa virescens, ib, p. 802. 



41. Pipra Isidori, Sclater, Rev. et Mag. de Zool. 1852, p. 9; 

 Cont. to Orn. 1852, pi. 100. fig. 1. p. 132. 



42. Pipra coronata, Spix, Av. Bras. ii. pi. 7. fig. 1. 



(P. cyaneocapilla, Hahn. P. herbacea, Spix, ii. pi. 8 a. fig. 1 ? .) 

 I believe Spix's name is prior to Hahn's. The Pipra herbacea of 



the former (of which I have seen the type in the ^lunich Museum) is 



certainly a female of this species. 



43. Pipra leucocilla, Linn. 



44. Chiromachccris gutturosa (Desm.) Tang. & Man. pi. b'^. 



I have my doubts whether this bird is really separable from Pipra 

 manacus, as made out in Bp.'s Consp. p. 171.
