582 DR. 0, FINSCH ON THE BIRDS OF TRINIDAD. [June 23, 
79. TACHYPHONUS MELALEUCUS (Sparrm.); Scl. Mon. Tanagr. 
P. Z. S. 1856, p. 113; Taylor, J. c. p. 82. 
Tachyphonus beauperthuyi (Bp.); Léot. p. 299. 
Male and female (dark fulvous, beneath lighter), agreeing in every 
respect with specimens from Brazil. There exists a considerable 
variability in size in this widely distributed species. 
80. TacuypHonus tuctuosus, Lafr.; Sel. Mon. p. 114. 
Tachyphonus albispecularis, Léot. p. 300. 
One specimen changing the plumage; black, upper and under 
quill-coverts white; some of the remiges and the rectrices dark 
brown, edged with dirty olive-green on the outer web. 
The identity of 7. albispecularis with T’. /uctuosus has been already 
pointed out by Dr. Sclater (Ibis, 1867, p. 108). 
Fam. FRINGILLIDE. 
81. CARDINALIS PH@NICEUS, Gould; Scl. Cat. p. 100. 
Two specimens, not differing from a specimen from Honduras in 
the Bremen collection. 
Not included by Dr. Léotaud. Mr. Taylor doubts the occurrence 
of this species in Trinidad (Ibis, 1864, p. 83), which is now confirmed. 
82. CyANOLOXIA CYANOIDES (Lafr.). 
Guiraca cyanoides, Scl. Cat. p. 101. 
Similar to specimens from Cayenne. 
This species is also not mentioned in Dr. Léotaud’s work on the 
birds of Trinidad. 
83. VOLATINIA JACARINA (L.); Scl. Cat. p. 106; Taylor, Ibis, 
1864, p. 83. 
Tiaris jacarina, Leot. p. 312. 
Spermophila splendens et S. lugubris, Hartl. Verz. 1844, p. 81. 
Three specimens in old plumage. 
There is no difference whatever between specimens from Mexico 
and Brazil, which are before me, as Dr. Cabanis has declared already 
(J. f. Orn. 1861, p. 2). 
84. SpeERMOPHILA MiINUTA (L.); Scl. Cat. p. 104; Léot. p. 322; 
Taylor, 7. ¢. p. 83. 
An old male, similar to specimens from Cayenne, Guiana, and 
Columbia. 
85. SPERMOPHILA LESSONI, mihi. 
Pyrrhula bouvronides, Less. Tr. p. 450. 
Spermophila bouvronides, Scl. Cat. p. 104. 
Spermophila bouvronoides, Léot. p. 318. 
Three specimens, of which two show an indistinct white line from
