GENUS CCXL— ANODORHYNCHUS, Spix. 



The type of this genus, which is uncharacterized 

 by Spix, is called by him An. Maa^imiliani, in honour 

 of the illustrious and scientific prince, whose zeal has 

 enriched ornithology (as well as other branches of 

 zoology) with so many new and highly interesting 

 subjects, and furnished the above gentleman with 

 such ample means for illustrating the productions of 

 the extensive country to which his labours were di- 

 rected. I have to express my regret at not being 

 able to give a more perfect view of the contents of 

 his valuable work than what is contained under the 

 genus Aratinga and one or two others, established 

 by M. Spix. — A figure is given of this bird in plate 

 xi. of the Avium Nova species, &c.
