49. Dacnis c<erebicolor, Scl. Contr. Orn. 1851, p. 106. et 

 Ibis, 1863, p. 314. 



Remedios. (Mus. P. L. S.) 

 Iris dark. 



The single (male) example is not quite so bright in colour as the 

 typical specimen from Bogota in Sclater's collection. 



50. Dacnis egregia, Scl. P.Z.S. 1854, p. 251, et Ibis, 1863, 

 p. 316. 



Remedios, Neche. (Mus. S.-G.) 



51. Dacnis venusta, Lawr. ; Scl. Ibis, 1863, p. 315. 



Remedios. (Mus. S.-G.) 



Iris dark. Food, fruit. 



The extension of this species so far south is quite a new fact. 

 Panama and Costa Rica are its previously known localities. 



Besides these three species of Dacnis, Mr. Salmon sends a single 

 skin from Remedios (Mus. P. L. S.), of what seems to be the female 

 of an uuknown member of this genus. 



52. Chlorophanes atricapilla (Vieill.). 



Concordia, Remedios. (Mus. S.-G.) 

 Iris dark. Food, fruit &c. 



53. Ccereba CjErulea (Linn.). 



Remedios, Medellin. (Mus. S.-G.) 

 Iris dark. Food, insects. 



54. Certhiola mexicana, Scl.; Finsch, Verh. z.-b. Ges. in 

 Wien, 1871, p. 772. 



Remedios, Medellin. (Mus. S.-G.) 



Iris dark. Food, insects. 



Eggs (no. 50) dirty white, thickly spotted with red-brown, espe- 

 cially in a zone round the larger end : axis -65, diam. -5. 



"The nest is made of fine dry grasses; it is oval-shaped, with a 

 side entrance, and generally placed at the extremity of a bough, but 

 not hanging."—! 7 . K. 8. 



Fam. Tanagrid^e. 



55. Procnias tersa (Linn.). 



Procnias occidentalis, Scl. P. Z. S. 1854, p. 249, et nobis {passim). 



Remedios. (Mus. S.-G.) 



Iris dark. Food, fruit and insects. 



After comparing a number of specimens of Procnias from different 

 localities, we have come to the conclusion that the grounds for keeping 

 separate the western form are untenable. Salvin has already adopted 

 this view (Ibis, 1879, p. 199).
