522 ON SIX NEW SPECIES OF SOUTH-AMERICAN BIRDS. [June 5, 



Obs. Species Ch. Jlavipectori forsan proxima, sed gutture fusces- 

 cente dignoscenda. 



Of this Chlorospingus Mr. C. Buckley obtained a single skin at 

 Jina, in Ecuador, during his recent excursion into that country. 

 Sclater has long had a specimen of the same bird, which was col- 

 lected by Fraser at Chillanes, in Ecuador, in 1 858. The latter has 

 hitherto" been erroneously referred to G. albitemporalis, under (he 

 impression that it might be an immature bird. The species is of the 

 general size and structure of C. fiavipectus.

Obs. L. subalari affiuis, sed dorso postico, cauda, et alis extus

Mr. Buckley has sent a single skin of this fine species, which at 

 one time we thought might possibly prove to be a male of L. sub- 

 alaris ; but on examining the type specimen of the latter in the 

 British Museum, we find that it doubtless is a male, having a con- 

 cealed black crest, and the hinder portion of the body and tail ashy, 

 as given in Sclater's original description. In the present bird the 

 crest is deep chestnut, and the lower portion of the body olive-green, 

 like the back.
