tliat it is rather rare in Cayenne, and in his "Histoire Naturelle" 

 unites to it under the common title of ' Le Syaeou'' another closely- 

 allied species, the Calliste graminea, of which he has given a sepa- 

 rate figure in the "Planches Enlurainees" under a different name. 

 Nor does this bird appear to have been noticed by any other writer 

 on natural history as being found in any of the neighbouring 

 countries, — Schomburgk's Callospiza punctata from British Guiana, 

 where we might have reasonably expected this Tanager to occur, 

 being, as we shall hereafter see, referable to the following species. 



This bird may be readily distinguished from Calliste guttata, 

 which is its closest ally, by its rather smaller size and the absence of 

 the golden-yellow colour about the front and eye-region. It is also 

 recognizable among all the members of the group, from having the 

 edgings of the wings plain green, not tinged with blue.
