I have enumerated the seven known species of this beautiful 

 group, under the description of Eiichlornis melanolcema, in the ' An- 

 nals of Natural History ' for June 185G. I there used the generic 

 name Pipreola for them, thinking then that Svvainson's Pipreola 

 chlorolepidota probably belonged to the genus. But after again 

 considering Svvainson's description, I must acknowledge that the 

 ])oint is very doubtful, and, until it is cleared up, it is perhaps 

 better to employ DeFilippi's term Euchlornis for the genus. 



It is easy to recognize the present species of Euchlornis by its 

 yellow front and blackish bill, which are possessed by no other mem- 

 ber of the group. In size it is also inferior to all except Euchlornis 

 Sclateri, Cornalia. The only example I have ever seen was pro- 

 cured by Bridges in Bolivia, and received through Mr, Cuming by 

 the late Lord Derby in 1846. It now ornaments the Derby Museum 

 at Liverpool, and has been lent me, along with some other rare S. 

 American birds, through the liberality of the Trustees of that Insti- 

 tution, so that I now have the pleasure of submitting it to the exa- 

 mination of the Society.

This is one of the numerous allies of Tardus crotopezus of Brazil 

 and 7'. assimilis of Mexico. It is however a very distinct species, 

 easily recognizable amongst them by its dark cinereous colour, con- 

 sj)icuously white neck-mark, and yellow bill. My example was ob- 

 tained from Mr. Leadbeater. Others similar are in Air. Gould's 

 collection.
