Paris from that part of the world. All the examples of it which 

 have come under my notice have the usual unmistakeahle appearance 

 of Bogota skins, having the wings and tail pushed up into the hody, 

 and the whole skin compressed, flattened and exceedingly compact. 

 I have no doubt that the bird occurs in considerable abundance in the 

 valleys of some of the confluents of the Upper Magdalena, not far 

 removed from the New-Grenadian capital. Its range is probably 

 confined to this region, as I have never seen it from any part of the 

 valley of the Amazon, nor from the streams flowing into the Orinoco. 

 There is a sufiiciently accurate representation of this Calliste in the 

 Natural-History Atlas of the Voyage of the Venus. It does not much 

 resemble any other species of the genus, and will be easily recognized 

 by the accompanying figure.
