I have seen only one specimen of this species, which was re- 
ceived by the Fréres Verreaux of Paris from Ecuador. It is closely 
allied to B. eximia, but is larger in all its dimensions, nearly equalling 
in size B. cucullata. Its distinguishing character is the uniform 
green back, whence I have named it chloronota. I have examined 
multitudes of B. eximia, and invariably found the uropygium blue.

This bird is one of the group so closely affine to ZL. chlorotica, but 
may be distinguished from all of them (as E. melanura from EL. vio- 
lacea and its affines) by the absence of white markings on the exterior 
rectrices. The middle of the belly is also of a brighter orange tint, 
and the black front is broader than in Z. chlorotica. A skin of this 
species, received from the MM. Verreaux, is labelled LZ. hirundinacea, 
Bp., and it is probably the species referred to by that name in the 
“« Note sur les Tangaras,” Rev. et Mag. de Zool. 1851, p. 156. It is 
not however the true FE. hirundinacea, Bp. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1837, 
p- 117; for on examination of the type of that species, which is now 
in the Derby Museum at Liverpool (labelled Z. hirundinirostris !), 
I found it coequal with the bird described by me (Cont. to Orn. 
1851, p. 86) as H. laniirostris, which again is not the true laniv- 
rostris of MM. de Lafresnaye and d’Orbigny, but a closely allied 
species, called in the Baron de Lafresnaye’s museum JZ. fortirostris. 
This must, of course, for the future bear the first proposed specific 
appellation Airundinacea, and will stand as follows :—
