44 TANAGER. 



60 —RED-CRESTED TANAGER. 



L'Habia rougeatre, Voy. d'Azara, iv. No, 85. 



LENGTH seven inches and a half. Bill dusky, a trifle bent, 

 and pointed, with three indentations in the upper mandible, as in 

 some of the Tanagers ; on the head a large, silky, loose crest, the 

 feathers more than half an inch long, and fiery red ; front, sides, 

 back of the head, and under wing coverts, reddish brown ; neck 

 before, under parts of the body, and tail, the colour of vermilion, 

 but dull, palest on the belly ; all the parts above dull vermilion. 



Inhabits Paraguay : manners unknown. Three only have been 

 met with. 



61.— PARAGUAN TANAGER. 



L'Habia jaune, Voy. d 'Azara, iv. No. 87. 



LENGTH eight inches, Bill strong, a trifle bent, pointed, and 

 not compressed ; on the edge of the upper mandible a deep indenta- 

 tion, and on the side a deep process; colour of bill dusky, beneath 

 sky-blue ; plumage in general yellowish brown, beneath deep yellow; 

 over the eye a yellow streak ; greater wing coverts and quills edged 

 with deep yellow ; legs dusky. 



Inhabits Paraguay with the last, and equally rare. This and 

 the three last described, seem rather doubtful species, none of which 

 have come under our observation ; whether, therefore, they more 

 properly belong to this Genus or the foregoing, seems uncertain ; or, 

 whether they might constitute a separate Genus.
