The mountain-valleys of New Grenada — so rich in the varied pro- 

 ductions of Nature — are again the home of this beautiful species of 

 the genus Calliste. It was first described by Baron de Lafresnaye in 

 • the ' Revue Zoologique ' for 1 843, and is figured in the ' Magasin de 

 Zoologie ' for the same year. The name attached to it is that of 

 one of the best-known of the Marchand-Naturalistes of the French 

 capital, and is a just tribute to one who has done so much to increase 

 our knowledge of the rich Fauna of Tropical America. 



Parzudaki's Tanager, however, is not, as appears to be the case 

 with the last preceding species, quite confined to New Grenada : 

 examples of it were contained in the small but interesting collection 

 received by Mr. Gould from the province of Quixos in the neigh- 

 bouring republic of Ecuador — to which I have already frequently 

 made reference in these pages.
