The white exterior margin of the second abnormal primary, which 

 Dr. Kaup relies upon as the specific character of this species, is not 

 sufficient to distinguish this bird from P. aglaice, in some specimens 

 of which I find the same peculiarity. But it may be easily recog- 

 nized from the latter bird by its nearly uniform sooty-black colour- 

 ing above and below, and the narrow rosy bar on the throat. I have 

 a Bogota skin apparently referable to this species.

Though I have seen a type of this species in the Magazin du 

 Jardin des Plantes at Paris, I have never had an opportunity of com- 

 paring it with examples of its two near allies. My impression is, 

 however, that it is distinct from P. pectoralis (than which it seems 

 larger and of a more cinereous tinge below) and also from P. aglaice. 

 M. de Lafresnaye has remarked upon the differences between it and 

 the latter species in the Rev. Zool. 1839, p. 98.
