Angostura, which town is situated on the Orinoco some 300 miles from 

 its outlet. Besides the last-mentioned specimens, and one contained 

 in the late Mr. Strickland's collection, I have scarcely if ever met 

 with examples. 



The Chestnut-capped Tanager may be distinguished from the allied 

 species by the peculiar dark cinnamomeous colouring of the head. 



Professor Burmeister, misled by the locality "S. Thomas" affixed 

 to this bird in my "Tanagrarum Catalogus Specificus," has stated in 

 his ' Systematische Uebersicht der Thiere Brasiliens' that I have 

 given the "West India Islands as the true habitat for this bird — a 

 region, as far as my present information goes, quite outside of the 

 generic area of the genus Calliste. He is also in error, I believe, 

 in saying that Swainson met with this Tanager near Pernambuco in 

 Brazil.
