648 Count T. Salvadori — Notes 



of Amsterdam (?) ; it is very similar to C. brasiliensis, but 

 has small red patches at the base of the outer web on three 

 of the outer secondaries. This feature is wanting in the few 

 specimens of C. brasiliensis which 1 have seen (three in the 

 British Museum and one in that of Turin), and is, I fancy, 

 accidental. Still it is worth mentioning, as, if frequent, it 

 would be necessary to remove this form from the section 

 without the red patches at the base of the outer secondaries, 

 where it has been placed in the key to the species of the 

 genus Chrysotis (Cat. B. xx. p. 271).
