ward Wilson from MM. Verreaux of Paris. Thanks to the kind- 

 ness of that gentleman, it is at present along with many other spe- 

 cimens belonging to the same owner tmder my care, having been 

 entrusted to me with the Adew of enabling me to work out the 

 history of these birds with greater completeness. This individual 

 was probably obtained upon one of the upper branches of the Peru- 

 vian Amazon, but the exact locality is not known. The accompany- 

 ing figure is drawn from this specimen. 



From the two preceding species, which are those that the present 

 bird most closely resembles, it may be distinguished by the want of 

 the orange cap on the head and of the black throat.
