birds with which Prince Bonaparte has arranged it. M. Bourcier 

 only brought with him two examples of it, which he obtained in the 

 hot tropical forests of Calacali to the north of Quito. One of these 

 is in the Paris Museum, and the other, belonging to Mr. "WUson, and 

 now in my hands, is ultimately, I believe, destined for the Museum 

 of the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia. 



The only other specimens of this bird in Europe I believe to be 

 those in Sir William Jardine's collection. They were received by 

 him from Professor Jameson of Quito, who has done so much to 

 increase our knowledge of the natural history of that wonderful 

 region, and first transmitted the Tetragonops ramphastinus, Eugenia 

 imperatrix, and many other striking novelties in Ornithology, to this 

 country.
