Cory on Nctv Birth from Santo Domingo. 



The following species were described by me some months since, 

 but having lately received other specimens, I redcscribe them 

 and add descriptions of the female and young. I have also raised 

 one of them to the rank of a new u'enus. 



Fam. TANAGRID^. 



Calyptophilus,* gen. nov. 



The present genus has the general appearance, at first glance, 

 of Phooiicophilits., but is easily separated from it by the follow- 

 ing characters : 



a. Tail short, about four-fifths as long as the wing; middle toe about 

 two-thirds of tarsus; tail square, slightly emarginate. Phccnicofkilus. 



b. Tail long, equal to wing; middle toe about five-sixths of tarsus; 

 tail rounded, and strongly graduated ; bill much narrower, and the legs 

 and feet larger than in PJiccnicophilus. Calyptof kilns. 



Calyptophilus frugivorus.
