TANAGER. 



In another, supposed to differ in sex, the crimson on the throat 

 occupied less space, not quite reaching to the chin, or so low towards 

 the breast, the under parts, too, are paler than the upper; in other 

 respects like the former. 



The above are in the collection of Mr. H. Brogden, of Clapham 

 Common, who received them from Senegal. 



These seem much allied to the Malimbic Tanager.
