Known by the name of Putillas in South Ame- 

 rica: the beak of the male is brown; and the 

 crown of his head is ornamented with a most 

 singular rounded crest, very similar to that of 

 Pipra rupicola ; it is of a most splendid crimson 

 colour, as are also the sides of the head, and all 

 the under parts of his body ; the rest of the plum- 

 age brown; the quills edged with grey: legs red- 

 dish : female without a crest, and with those parts 

 of her body, which, in the male are crimson, 

 merely tinged with that colour : the rest of the 

 plumage is also much paler: length five inches 

 and a half. Inhabits the borders of the river 

 Amazons*
