652 TTJRATI AND SALVADORI ON A NEW TROGON. [Nov. 17, 



3. Note on Macacus brunneus. By John Anderson, M.D. 



[Eeceived October 9, 1874.] 



In the Natural-History gallery of the Jardin des Plantes I have ex- 

 amined the type of Macacus arctoides, Geoff. St.-Hil., and compared 

 it with a specimen of my M. brunneus, either received or purchased 

 from the Zoological Society of London by the Paris Museum, and an 

 undoubted example of the species described by me (P. Z. S. 1871, 

 p. 628) under that name. 



After examination of these two monkeys I am in a position to 

 state that they are remarkably dissimilar and therefore belong to two 

 well-defined species. The sex of the type of M. arctoides is not 

 stated ; but the species seems to be more like M. nemestrinus and 

 M. leoninus than M. brunneus, which is more closely affine to M. 

 speciosus of Japan, a specimen of which, from the Leyden Museum, 

 I have also compared with the two former species. 



The original description of M. arctoides by Geoffroy St.-Hilaire 

 seemed so inapplicable to M. brunneus that I had anticipated that 

 the comparison of the types would confirm the fact that that they 

 are two distinct species, and that Dr. Sclater* and Dr. Murief had 

 therefore erred iu regarding them as one and the same. 



4. Description of a New Trogon of the Genus Pharomacrus. 

 By Hercules, Count Turati, and T. Salvador*, C.M.Z.S. 



[Eeceived October 21, 1874.] 



Pharomacrus xanthogaster, sp. nov. 



P. splendide aureo-viridis, uropygio magis virescente, dorso et su- 

 pracaudalibus longiorihas magis aurescentibus ; capite toto pul- 

 chre cupreo-aurato resplendente ; tectricibus alarum, caudceque 

 superioribus value productis, his caudce apicem paulo superanli- 

 bus ; remigibus rectricibusque nigerrimis ; abdomine pulcherri- 

 me flavo-aurantiaco ; tibiis nigris ; rostro Jlavo ; pedibus fuscis . 

 Long. tot. 360 millim. ; al. 210 ; caud. 185 ; rostri culm. 22 ; 

 tarsi 19. 



We have lately seen a single skin of this splendid bird, which is now 

 preserved in Turati's collection. On the original label attached to it 

 was written Cogiiai amarillo, macho. It was sent as from Columbia ; 

 and judging from the making of the skin, flat, hard, and filled with 

 moss, we have but little doubt that it really comes from Bogota. 



From all the other previously known species of the genus Pharo- 

 macrus this is easily distinguished by the beautiful orange-yelloiv ab- 

 domen ; it has a black tail like P. pavoninus and P. auriceps, and 

 has a yellow bill like the last-named species, which it also resembles 

 in the colour of the upper parts ; the head is perhaps a little more 

 greenish, very much like that of P.fulgidus; its dimensions are in- 

 termediate between those of P. auriceps and P.fulgidus.
