sea a little to the south of the mouth of the Rio do Espiritu Santo 

 in the province of the same name. Temminck's figure, which is 

 tolerably exact, was taken from Prince Maximilian's specimens. 



Examples of this species in the fine series of South American birds 

 in the Imperial Cabinet of Natural History at Vienna were collected 

 by the celebrated traveller and naturalist Natterer at Ipanema in 

 the province of S. Paolo. 



The plumage of this Tanager is rather peculiar, and renders it 

 easily recognizable among its congeners. The upper surface, from 

 the black front to the tail-coverts, is of a golden-yellow, the whole 

 space between the wings being variegated with black, caused by the 

 feathers being medially black and edged on each side with golden- 

 yellow. This prevalence of yellow is what I suppose has led Prince 

 Bonaparte to arrange it in the section of the genus which he deno- 

 minates Chrysothraupis, which includes C. aurulenta, arthusi and 

 their afllines ; but I consider that the bird is certainly much more 

 nearly alUed to Calliste tricolor and others of the preceding species.
