5. Calliste cyanotis, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1859, p. 294. 



A specimen in more perfect plumage than the bird which I ori- 

 ginally described from, but unmistakeably recognizable as belonging 

 to the same rare species. Its nearest ally is certainly Calliste labra- 

 dorides (Mon. of Calliste, pi. ), from which, however, it is easily 

 distinguishable by the black sides of the head and well-defined su- 

 perciliary stripe. 



6. BuARREMON CASTANEICEPS, Sp. nOV. 



Saturate oleagineus, subtus vix dilutior : remigibus et rectricibus 

 nigricanti-fuscis : pileo castaneo, lateribus capitis cum gula 

 nigricanti-cinereis : rostri nigricanti-plumbei basi pallida ; 

 pedibus nigris. 



Long, tota 6*5, alse 3*1, caudse 2*6. 



But one example of this Buarremon was in the collection. It 

 may be arranged next to B. rufinuchus and B. latinuchus, from 

 which, however, it is easily distinguished by its general deep olive 

 colouring. 



7. Buarremon assimilis (Lafr.). 

 Agrees with New Granadian specimens. 



8. Grallaria nuchalis. sp. nov. 



Saturate brutinescenti-oleaginea, pileo rufescentiore, nucha et re- 

 gione post-oculari clare castaneis: subtus nigricanti-schistacea : 

 7'ostro et pedibus nigris. 

 Long. tota7'5, alse 4 5, caudse 2*1, rostri a rictu 1*2 ; tarsi 2*15, 

 This bird is a long-legged Grallaria in structure, though in 

 plumage it rather resembles the different species of the allied genus 

 Formicarius. I have never seen but this one example, now in my 

 collection. 



9. Pipreola chlorolepidota, Sw. An. in Men. p, 357. 

 This bird agrees so well with Swainson's description, that I have 



no hesitation in recognizing it as belonging to his species. It is a 

 female of one of the beautiful green Cotingas of the genus Euchlornis 

 or Pyrrlwrhynchus, as I had always supposed was likely to be the 

 case *. It is probably the female of Euchlornis sclateri, Cornalia 

 (Contr. Orn. 1852, p. 133. pi. 4), which is from this same country ; 

 but I am not yet clear upon this point. Its identification is of im- 

 portance, as it proves that the generic name Pipreola should be used 

 for this group, in place of Euchlornis or Pyrrlwrhynchus, established 

 many years subsequently.
