sufficiently with the account of the latter author. It is of much 

 the same size as C ochrocephala, but differs primarily in having the 

 brown superciliary stripe pass beyond the eye to the nape, as in guia- 

 nensia, though it is narrower and less distinct. The brown wash 

 on the head is less than in ochrocephala ; the yellow on the throat 

 less extensive. The bill is higher, and the under mandible more 

 dusky, though not blackish. The iirst and second quills are longer, 

 the former more than half the longest, not less ; the second longer 

 than the tenth, in this respect differing from the other S. American 

 species. 



From guianensis the species can be distinguished b^ its much 

 larger size; the wing formula; the ochraceous wash of the head; 

 less amount of yellow on throat (?), etc. 



A specimen from Bolivia (No. 280ffl), kindly lent by Dr. Sclater, 

 and labelled by him C. viridis, agrees with that above described in 

 general features. It is rather larger: wing, 3.30, the outer quills 

 not quite so long, and the lower mandible with a very conspicuous 

 black spot.

(No. 278a.) Whole upper parts, including vertex, bright olive green. A 

 broad, rufous, almost chestntit brown band from the nostrils (meeting on the 

 forehead) passing over and beyond the eye to the nape. Chin, lores, and sides 

 of lower mandible ashy ; rest of cheeks, entire throat, upper part of jugulum, 

 sides of breast and inner face of wings, with inner edges of quills, yellow. 

 Rest of under parts white, soiled with buff, except along the middle of belly. 

 Upper mandible pale horn color ; lower plumbeous black, except at the tip. 

 Legs apparently flesh color. " Iris hazel" (_Fraser). 



(No. 278a.) Total length, 6.00; wing, 2.95 ; tail, 2.65 ; length of bill from 

 forehead, .76, from nostril, .44, along gape, .76, depth, .33 ; tarsns, .90 ; middle 

 toe and claw, .70, claw alone, .26 ; hind toe and claw, .65, claw alone, .32. 



The type specimen of this species, kindlj^ supplied by Dr. Sclater, 

 is moulting some of the wing feathers, so that the quill formula 

 cannot be accurately given. The supra-ocular stripe extends farther 

 behind the eye than in front of it, and the lower eyelid appears to
