I had considered these two birds as identical. M. de Lafresnaye, 

 however, has clearly pointed out the differences between them in 

 his article in the ' Revue et Magasin de Zoologie' for 1854. 



The Calliste pulchra may be distinguished from both the pre- 

 ceding species by its superior size, and by the golden-chestnut 

 colouring of the throat and upper breast. 



Mr. Gould has lately acquired examples of this bird from the Rio 

 Napo, from one of which, by his kind permission, the accompanying 

 illustration has been made. The presence of the bird in this locality 

 seems to show that it ranges some distance north of Peru along the 

 upper confluents of the Amazon which traverse the eastern slope of 

 the Andes of Ecuador.
