1879.] BIRDS FROM ANTIOQUIA. 501 



84. Tanagra cyanocephala (d'Orb. et Lafr.) 



Tanagra maximiliani, d'Orb. Voy. p. 276, pi. xxiii. fig. 2. 



Retiro, Sta. Elena. (Mus. P. L. S. and S.-G.) 



Iris dark. Food, fruit. Builds in high trees. 



Eggs (no. 24) pale whitish, thickly blotched with spots of various 

 sizes of red-brown: axis T04, diam. 71. 



To this species should be united Tanagra auricrissa, Scl., of Bo- 

 gota, and T. subcinerea, Scl. (P. Z. S. 1861, p. 129), of Venezuela, 

 as has been already done, Nomencl. p. 21. After comparing a large 

 series, we find no sufficient grounds of separation. 



85. Rhamphoccelus dimidiattjs (Lafr.); Scl. P. Z. S. 1856, 

 p. 129. 



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



Iris dark red. Food, fruit. 



Eggs (no. 94) pale greenish blue, spotted and streaked with large 

 spots and fine lines of dark brown : axis '91, diam. -65. 



"The nest is placed in low bushes, and is composed of small twigs, 

 dead leaves, moss, and lichens." — T. K. 8. 



86. Rhamphoccelus FLAMMiGERTjs(Jard.etSelb.); Scl. P.Z. S. 

 1856, p. 131. 



Medellin. (Mus. P. L. S. and S.-G.) 



Iris dark. Food, fruit. Builds in orange-trees and bushes. 



Eggs (no. 20) pale greenish blue, sparsely spotted with large dark- 

 brown spots and blotches: axis 1-05, diam. '75. (See Plate XLII. 

 fig. 3.) 



87. Rhamphoccelus chrysonotus, Lafr. ; Scl. P. Z. S. 1856, 

 p. 131. 



This species was omitted from the " Nomenclator," but seems 

 distinguishable from R. icteronotus and R. fiammigerus, as already 

 pointed out. Mr. Salmon's specimens (in his 8th collection) have 

 no exact locality attached to them. 



88. Rhamphoccelus icteronotus, Bp. ; Scl. P. Z. S. 1856, 

 p. 131. 



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



Iris dark red. Food, fruit. 



Eggs (no. 93) similar to those of R. flammigerus, but smaller : 

 axis 1-0, diam. 7 "2. 



" The nest is made of small twigs, moss, and dead leaves, lined with 

 fibrous roots, and is placed in low bushes, orange-trees, &c. It varies 

 very much in appearance, some being plain clumsy structures, 

 whilst others are prettily ornamented with leaves and lichens." — 

 T. K. S. 



89. Pyranga rubra (Linn.). 

 Remedios. (Mus. S.-G.) 



Food, fruit.
