dress, brownish head, and pale huffy colour beneath, this bird is 

 readily distinguishable from other members of the group. 



5. Chlorophanes guatemalensis. 



Chlorophanes atricapilla, Sclat. & Salv. Ibis, 1859, p. 14, et 1860, 

 p. 32. 



Similis C. atricapillo ex America merid., sed differt colore corporis 

 clariore viridi, capite nigro nucham totam occupante, et rostro magis 

 crasso et elongate. 



Hub. In Guatemala. 



The differences between this and the southern bird appear to be 

 so constant, although so small in amount, as to render a distinct 

 name necessary ; and I have therefore chosen one which indicates the 

 locality of the bird. 



6. Chlorophonia flavirostris. 



Psittaceo-viridis, remigibus alarum et rectrieibus intus nigrican- 

 tibus, illarum pogoniis externis ccBrulescenti-viridibus : subtus 

 paulo dilutior, ventre medio et crisso Jlavis : rostro et pedihus 

 flavis. 

 Long, tota 4*0, alse 2"3, caudse 1*2. 

 Hab. In rep. ^Equator.

I have a single example of this Chlorophonia in my collection, 

 received by Mr. Gould with other birds from Ecuador, from the 

 eastern slope of the Andes, I believe. It appears to be the female 

 of some undescribed species of this group. It may be readily distin- 

 guished from other species by its yellow bill and pale-yellow feet, 

 and from C longipennis, C.frontaliSy and C. viridis, which are pro- 

 bably its nearest allies, by the absence of the blue round the eye. 



7. EUPHONIA VITTATA, 



Nigro-cceruleo-nitens : vitta frontali angusta fuho-Jlavida : ab- 

 domine saturate fulvo-Jlavo, lateribus Jlavicantibus, tectricibus 

 subalaribus albis, citrino tinctis: rectrice una utrinque extima 

 in pogonio interno albo notata : rostro et pedibus nigris. 

 Long, tota 4"2, alse 2"4, caudse r4. 

 Hab. In Brasilia. 



Obs. Affinis E. xanthogastrce, sed fronte augusto aurescente, et 

 cervice nigra in ventrem magis producta facile dignoscenda. 



I have only a single specimen of this very distinct species of Eu- 

 phonia, which, from its make, is evidently a Brazilian skin. I re- 

 ceived it from M. Verreaux of Paris. 



8. Tanagra sxjbcinerea. 



Flavicanti-olivacea, alis caudaque nigricantibus eodem colore lim- 

 batis ; pileo cceruleo, margine postico ad nucham inridescente ; 

 lateribus capitis et loris nigris : subtus pure cinerea, subalari-
