152 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON PERUVIAN BIRDS. [ Mar. I], 
In Sclater’s “Synopsis of Tanagers” (P. Z. S. 1856, p. 75) he 
speaks of certain specimens of S. aurantiirostris in which the 
“front, sides of the head, throat, and breast are all deep black, a 
postsuperciliary stripe and middle of the throat only being white.” 
These specimens (collected by D’Orbigny in Bolivia, and MM. Cas- 
telnau and Deville in high Peru) were no doubt identical with the 
present example, which, however, we believe to be specifically dis- 
tinct from the true S. aurantiirostris, and propose to call laticlavius 
from its broad-bordered throat. 
Mr. Whitely’s skins of this Sa/tator were obtained at Tinta. One 
was shot in a garden, the others off cactus plants on the hills above 
Tinta, in May and June. “Eyes dark hazel; bill orange; legs, 
toes, and claws black.” The sexes, as marked, are coloured alike.

“Shot off cactus plants. It frequents lanes, appearing to have 
the habits of a Finch. Bill bright yellow; legs and feet brownish 
black ; eye dark hazel.”—H. W. 
6. Poospizs C#sar, sp. nov. (Plate XIII.) 
Supra plumbea: remigibus et rectricibus obscurioribus, unicolo- 
ribus : superciliis albis: capitis lateribus nigricantibus : sub- 
tus alba, pectore lato et crisso castaneis: ventre lateraliter 
plumbeo, medialiter albicante : rostro nigricanti-plumbeo, man- 
dibula subtus albicante: pedibus corylinis: long. tota 7°7, 
ale 3°2, caude 3'1, tarsi 1:1. 
Hab. Peruvia alta (Whitely). 
Two skins of this Poospiza are in Mr. Whitely’s collection. One 
is a young male; of the other the sex is not marked, but we should 
suppose it to be an adult of the same sex. They were both obtained 
at Tinta in May last. 
The species is larger than any other member of the genus known 
tous. In colour it is something like P. thoracica, but has distinct 
white superciliaries, and no chestnut-colour on the flanks, 
“Shot in a ‘hedge. Length 77 inches, ditto of wing 33. Bill 
slate-colour ; eye dark hazel; legs and toes brownish flesh-colour.”
