A pair of this rare species have passed into the collection of the 

 British Museum.

73. Eubucco hartlaubi (Lafr.), fem. aut juv. ? 

 Rio Javarri. 



I have hitherto regarded this hird as the young of E. hartlaubi, 

 from which it differs in the want of the aurescent head and of the 

 blue tinge on the throat, sides of the head and supercilia, and by its 

 lemon-yellow and not orange neck-band. I am not sure that I am 

 right. Examples in the same state of plumage in the Paris Mu- 

 seum are marked " Capito glaucogularis, Tschudi," which is cer- 

 tainly wrong. 



74. Eubucco aurantiicollis, sp. nov. 



Viridis, pileo et mento summo intense sanguineo-rubris, torque 

 cervicali postica clare jlavicanti-viridi : cervice antica auran- 

 tia ; peetore coccineo, ventre flavo et viridi strigato : rostro 

 flavo, pedibus nigris. 



Long, tota 5"5, alse 2'6, caudse 1'9. 



This beautiful species of Barbet closely resembles E. richardsoni 

 figured in Gray and Mitchell's Genera of Birds, but may be distin- 

 guished by its light green posterior neck-band, orange and not 

 lemon-yellow throat, and deeper scarlet breast. Mr. Bates has 

 transmitted five examples from the Rio Javarri, which are all alike. 

 The Eubucco richardsoni is from New Grenada (Bogota collections). 



The British Museum contains an example of this new species, 

 collected by Hauxwell on the Ucayali in August 1852 and marked 

 " Irides red." 



I am now acquainted with seven species of the section Eubucco, 

 namely, (1) E. richardsoni {sulphureus, Eyton, Contr. Orn. 1849, 

 p. 130) ex Nov. Grenada ; (2) E. aurantiicollis; (3) E. bour- 

 cieri (Lafr. Rev. Zool. 1845, p. 79, et 1849, p. 1 16, pi. 3) ex Nov.
