Professor Burmeister, our most recent authority on the birds of 

 Brazil, mentions its occurrence near New Freiburg. 



Swainson obtained specimens of this Tanager in the vicinity of 

 Pernambuco, where, he says, it is not uncommon, frequenting the 

 gardens and feeding on the smaller-sized fruits, and it is abundant 

 in collections of skins imported from Rio and Bahia. It probably 

 extends all through eastern Brazil, though I do not believe it reaches 

 so far north as the Amazon, which seems to be the line of separation 

 between many of the Brazilian and Guiana species.
