DESMARETIAN MANAKIN. 
Shining biue-black; belly whitish; vent, throat, and 
breast, scarlet. 
I am indebted for this new and elegant species of Ma- 
nakin, to Mr. A. Huey, by whom it was discovered in 
New Holland, where it appears to be of very rare occur- 
rence, two specimens only having been observed in the 
English collections. : 
It is named after Desmaret, author of a most splendid 
work on this genus of birds.
