White-Eyes, Sugar- Birds, and Tanagers. 31 



Blue-shouldered Tanager (Tanagra cyanoptera). 



The beak of the female is slightly broader at base ; her plumage 

 is also a little duller and greyer than that of the male. 



Palm Tanager (Tanagra palmarum). 



The female has a broader and longer beak than her mate ; her 

 wings and tail are not of so dark a brown, and the pale belt on her 

 wing is broader and more diffused. 



Archbishop Tanager (Tanagra ornata). 



The beak of the female is broader at base, but shorter than that 

 of the male. The colouring is altogether less vivid, with much less 

 blue on throat and breast. 



Striated Tanager (Tanagra bonariensis). 



The beak of the female is much broader but shorter than in the 

 male. In plumage she is quite unlike it, being greyish-brown, paler 

 on under parts ; the rump and throat tinged with yellowish-olive. 



White-capped Tanager (Stephanophorus leucocephalus). 



The beak of the female is a little longer and is broader towards 

 the point than that of the male. In plumage she is altogether 

 duller, washed above with smoke-grey, the scarlet on the crown and 

 the lilacine white patch much restricted ; under parts smoky-grey, 

 slightly bluish on the breast. 



Black Tanager (Tachyphonus melaleucus). 



The beak of the female is broader at base, but distinctly shorter 

 than that of the male ; in plumage she is utterly dissimilar, being of 

 a cinnamon-brown colour, rather paler below. 



The Crowned Tanager is rarely imported. 



The Summer Tanager (Pyranga cestiva). 



Not often imported into this country, but more frequently, I 

 believe, into Germany. It is a very common North American 

 species. The beak of the female is very slightly shorter than that 

 of the male, but of about the same width. Whereas his prevail- 

 ing colour is rosy scarlet, hers is yellowish-olive. 



The Saira Tanager is very rarely imported. 



The Scarlet Tanager (Rhamphoccelus brasilius) 



The difference in the beaks of male and female is very great, that 

 of the male being much smaller and shorter. The female shows
