REVIEW OF AMERICAN BIRDS. 



[part I. 



Another specimen has the color of under parts purer, with less 

 buif. Another from Rio (No. 18,511), likewise with less buff be- 

 neath, has the vertex showing a considerable amount of plumbeous. 

 The back is somewhat tinged with ochraceous in the type specimen. 



This species agrees with guianensis in dusky legs and the re- 

 striction of the yellow to the lower throat and extreme upper part 

 of the jugulum. It is, however, larger ; the bill lower, without 

 trace of the blackish spot ; the ochrey band of forehead extends in 

 a very narrow line only along the upper eyelid, instead of broadly 

 reaching the nape, and the vertex is washed with ochrey, so as 

 almost or entirely to cover the plumbeous or ashy of the feathers. 

 The under surface of the tail shows less olive green.

Hah. La Plata and Bolivia ? 



(No. 20,976, 9 , Parana.) Head above ashy, almost concealed by a gloss of 

 reddish-brown ; rest of upper parts olive green. Chin, lores, cheeks, and sides 

 of nape pale ash. Forehead ochrey brown, this color extending narrowly 

 above and beyond the eye to the nape. Lower part of throat and sides of 

 breast, with insides of wings, pale yellow ; the flanks washed with the same ; 

 rest of under parts soiled white. Bill rather dusky ; under mandible some- 

 what darker, but without a distinct spot as in guianensis. Legs dark plumbe- 

 ous. First quill much more than half the longest; 2d between 8th and 9th ; 

 3d but little shorter than 4th, which is longest, about equal to 5th. 



(No. 20,976, 9 .) Total length, 6.00 ; wing, 3.00 ; tail, 3.00 ; exposed portion 

 of 1st primary, 1.25, of 2d, 1.95, of longest (■Ith and 5th) (measured from 

 exposed base of 1st primary), 2.25 ; length of bill from forehead, .75, from 

 nostril, .45, along gape, .80, depth, .37 ; tarsus, 1.00 ; middle toe and claw, .72, 

 claw alone, .29 ; hind toe and claw, .69, claw alone, .32. 



I have referred to the C. viridis, of Vieillot, based on a descrip- 

 tion by Azara, a specimen from the Parana, a region sufficiently 

 near that of Azara's bird for the two to be identical, and agreeing
