Titiacun and Matos, 2 ex. Irides dark hazel. " On the bushes

 Food, insects. 



10. Euphonia nigricollis (Vieill.). 



Matos, 1 ex. <3 . Irides hazel ; bill blackish above, bluish beneath ; 

 legs and feet bluish flesh-colour. 



11. PffiCILOTHRAUPIS LUNULATA (DuBus). 



Matos, 3 ex., c? et $ similes. Called " Grillos," i. e. Chains (for 

 the feet). Irides red hazel; bill, legs, and feet black. "These 

 birds frequent the lowest and thickest bushes, where they hide. 

 They are shy, and consequently difficult to procure. They appeared 

 as if flycatching, darting from the bush and returning to it again 

 near the ground. I presume their name is taken from their note, 

 which somewhat resembles the clanking of chains on prisoners' legs. 

 Their gizzards contained green vegetable matter and minute seeds, 

 but no insects."

 zard contained insects and vegetable matter." 



15. BuARREMON SCHISTACEUS (BoisS.).

16. Pheucticus aureiventris (Lafr. et D'Orb.).

Finding this bird here, I begin rather to question its specific di- 

 stinctness from P. chrysogaster.
