mediali capitis flava: alis intus nigricantibus, extus rufis: 
cauda unicolori rufa: rostro corneo, maxilla ad basin pallida : 
pedibus fuscis: long. tota 3'5, ale 1:9, caude 1:4, rostri a 
rictu 0°4, tarsi 0°5. 
2. Mari similis, sed striga pilet lete rufa. 
Hab. in Peruvia orientali, Chamicurros et Xeberos (Bartlett). 
Mr. Bartlett obtained three specimens of this bird in Eastern 
Peru—a female at Xeberos in May 1866, and an adult and young 
male at Chamicurros in August 1867. The bird was met with in 
company with Tyrannulus elata and Elainea pagana, rather resem- 
bling these birds than the true Pipre in its habits. 
PS. Since this paper was read we have received separate copies of 
a paper by Mr. Lawrence, extracted from the ‘ Proceedings of the 
Academy of Nat. Sc. of Philadelphia’ for December 1868, wherein 
is a description of a bird which seems to be our Neopipo under the 
name Pipra cinnamomea. The species will therefore probably stand 
as Neopipo cinnamomea.—Aug. 7th, 1869. 
4. Descriptions of three new Species of Tanagers from Ve- 
ragua. By P. L. Sctarer, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., and 
Ospert Satvin, M.A. 
(Plates XXXI., XXXII.) 
A collection of Veraguan birds recently received from Enrique 
Arcé contains examples of three species of Tanagers which we be- 
lieve to have not yet been characterized. These we propose to 
describe as follows :— 
1. BuTHRAUPIS ARC&I, sp. nov. (Plate XXXI.) 
Supra saturate cerulea, alis caudaque nigris ceruleo limbatis ; 
subtus lete flava; loris et guiture toto nigris, hoc viridi pau- 
lulum adumbrato; tectricibus subalaribus albis flavo tinctis: 
rostro et pedibus nigris: long. tota 5°5, ale 3:5, caude 2, 
tarsi 0°9. 
Hab. in Veragua. 
This well-marked species of the Tanagrine genus Buthraupis we 
have the pleasure of dedicating to Enrique Arcé, its discoverer, as 
likewise that of many other fine species of Central-American birds. 
It is smaller in size than any other member of the genus, unless it 
be the Buthraupis edwardsi, recently described by Mr. Elliott (N. 
Ann. d. Mus. i. Bull. p. 77, t. 4. f. 2), from New Granada, the only 
species of the group we have not yet met with. In coloration our 
new bird rather resembles the large B. cucullata of Bogota; but, 
besides the great difference in size, the head, instead of being black, 
is of the same colour as the back, and the under surface is of a 
deeper yellow. 
Arce sends two specimens of this Tanager, both of which he ob-
