Besides Mr. Salvin's specimens, there is an example of this species 

 in the British Museum, stated to be from New Granada, which agrees 

 with it in all its essential characters. The most noticeable of tliese 

 are the shorter and much more elevated beak and the uniform ru- 

 fous colour of the front part of the head.

 corneo : alis extus runs.

Since I wrote the article above referred to on this species, I have 

 seen a specimen in the Vienna Museum obtained by Natterer in 

 Northern Brazil, on the Rio Brancho, at the foot of the small 

 mountain Ariinani ; it bears his no. 1029. 



I am still uncertain as to whether the Cultrides pucherani of De- 

 ville, figured in Casteluau's Voyage, belongs to this species or not. 

 If different, it will form a second species of the same section.
