534 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON THE CRACTD&. [June 9, 
4, ORTALIDA WAGLERI. 
Ortalida wagleri, G. R. Gray, List of Gall. p. 11 (1867). 
Supra olivacea, pileo nigricanti-plumbeo : subtus cinereo-olivacea, 
abdomine, hypochondriis, tibiis et crisso intense rufis : rectricibus 
quatuor utringue externis rufo terminatis, reliquis e@neo-viride- 
scentibus : long. tota 26°5, ale 10, caud@ 12, tarsi 3. 
Hab. Western Mexico, near Mazatlan (Grayson). 
Mus. Brit., Paris., Smithson. 
The bright red belly renders this fine species almost unmista- 
kable, its nearest ally being the following, in which the abdomen is 
only slightly rufescent. 
The only exact locality we have met with for this species is Ma- 
zatlan, in the vicinity of which Col. Grayson obtained two skins, 
now in the Smithsonian collection. His notes state that the ims is 
dark brown, the feet grey, the bare space round the eye red and blue, 
and the bare sides of the throat red. 
5. ORTALIDA RUFICAUDA. 
Ortalida ruficauda, Jard. Ann. N. H. xx. p. 374 (1847); et 
Contr. Orn. 1848, p. 16, t. 4. 
Ortalida bronzina, G. R. Gray, List of Gall. p. 11 (1867). 
Supra eneo-fusca, pileo fuscescenti-plumbeo: subtus ochracea, gut- 
ture et pectore eneo perfusis : subalaribus, hypochondriis et crisso 
castaneis : cauda eneo-viridi, rectricibus quinque externis castaneo 
terminatis: rostro plumbeo, apice flavicante; pedibus obscure 
carneis : long. tota 19, ale 7°8, caude 9, tarsi 2°2. 
Hab. Tobago (Kirk); Venezuela (Mus. Berol. et Paris.). 
Mus. Brit., Berol., Paris., $.-G. 
Two examples of this species in the Berlin Museum from Vene- 
zuela were formerly confounded with O. poliocephala. We have taken 
our description from one of Kirk’s original specimens, kindly pre- 
sented to us by Sir William Jardine. We have compared this with 
O. bronzina, and find them identical. 
This Ortalida probably also occurs in Trinidad, but is not men- 
tioned by M. Léotaud. Specimens in the Paris Museum, transmitted 
by M. Beauperthuy, have been likewise erroneously named polio- 
cephala. 
6. ORTALIDA CANICOLLIS. 
Jact caraguata, Azara, Apunt. ili. p. 77 (no. 336). 
Penelope canicollis, Wag]. Isis, 1830, p. 1112. 
Ortalida canicollis, Wagl. Isis, 1832, p. 1227; Hartlaub, Ind. 
Az. p. 22; Pelzeln, Orn. Bras. p. 286. 
Supra eneo-fusca, pileo cinereo: subtus magis ochracea, gutture et 
pectore eneo perfusis et hoc precipue griseo subobsolete punctatis : 
subalaribus, hypochondriis et crisso castaneis: cauda e@neo-viridi, 
rectricibus quingue externis castaneo late terminatis : rostro flavi- 
cante; pedibus pallide corylinis: long. tota 22, ale 9°8, caude 10-3, 
tarsi 2°5,
