with greenish ; under wing-coverts and inner lining of quills white, 

 with a slight tinge of bright yellow on the hend of the wing. Total 

 length 57 inches, culmen 09, wing 2*8, tail 2-3, tarsus 0'9. 

 Hab. Jamaica. 



Foot and wing of Phoenicomanes iora. 



I have chosen the specific name iora because of the extraordinary- 

 resemblance which the bird bears to the members of that eastern 

 genus, even to the half black and green plumage which is so often 

 met with. I have shown the unique specimen of the type to Mr. 

 Sclater, who indicated to me the probability of the true affinities of 

 the bird being with Phoenicophilus ; aod he is of opinion that these 

 two forms belong rather to the Fireonidce than to the Tanagrida-., 

 with which Phcenicophilas is generally placed. 



Lastly I have taken pains to ascertain the exact habitat of the 

 species, and believe that M. Boucard's assurance of its Jamaican 

 origin is to be relied on.
