very much alike; and clearer distinctive characters are much wauted 



in this group.

Tliis fine new species comes nearest to Tr.flavicollis of Swainaon, 

 hut is easily distinguished hy the much greater amount of grey in 

 its colouring. Nearly the whole of this group is distributed over 

 the western parts of Africa. We know only one southern species. 

 Not one has as yet been discovered in Abyssinia. 



2. On some New or little-known Species of Tanagebs 

 from the Collection of M. Verreaux of Pares. By 

 Philip Lutley Sclater. 



I have just received from M. Verreaux of Paris specimens of five 

 TanagridcB, part of a collection lately obtained from some district in 

 the interior of Peru — I have little doubt, from the neighbourhood 

 bordering on Bolivia, if not really within the limits of the latter re- 

 public. Two of them are certainly new species, and the others of 

 rare occurrence; and I cannot avoid acknowledging my obligations 

 to M. Jules Verreaux, our Corresponding Member, to whose friend* 

 liness I am indebted for having the opportunity of first examining 

 these rare birds. The species are as follows : — 



I.Buarremon rufinuchus (Lafr. etD'Orb.), Sclater, S\n. 

 Av. Tan. p. 25, sp. 10. 



Quite a distinct species from li. latinuchus of Ecuador, and rea- 

 dily known by its black back, and the black chin and sides of the 

 throat. M. DuBus was perfectly right in separating them. 



2. Chlorospingus albitempobalis (Lafr.), Syn. Av. Tan. 

 p. J7 ; P. Z. S. 1856, p. 89. 



This specimen confirms my separation of this Bpecies from the 

 Mexican C. ophthalmicus. I have alreadj stated the grounds of 



difference.
