 he Rousset ? LevailL ois. 



Described in the first part of the Transactions 

 of the Natural History Society of Paris; but no par- 

 ticular mention seems to be made of its size. From 

 the description of its colours however I cannot but 

 think it highly probable that the species described 

 by Monsr. Levaillant under the title of Rousset 

 is the same 3 especially since it is announced as a 

 native of Cayenne. Its size is that of a sparrow, 

 and its colour deep ferruginous, lighter and with a 

 slight yellowish cast beneath: the head is slightly 

 crested, the cheeks whitish marked by a dusky 

 streak across the eyes, and by a few small dusky 

 or blackish spots: the bill is black, and the legs 

 brown.
