is a misnomer, as will be seen from the description, yet as this is 
the one species of this group that has been imported in some num- 
bers it would be very ill advised to change the name it has been 
known by for so long. That it is not fragile, once it is established, 
has been abundantly proved by our esteemeti member. Mrs. 
Anningson, who during the inclement season of 19O0 kept this 
species in a specially constructed out-dooi' aviary with Sugar Birds 
and other Tanagers, and when I had tlie i^rivilege of seeing them 
last October, the fittest of the whole group was a s])lendid speci- 
men of this species. But I am bound to a<lmit new arrivals are 
very fragile and must be carefully nursed at first, and in conjunc- 
tion with the diet already advised, should be kept in warm, well 
lighted and ventilated quarters, till they become acclimatised. 
The whole of the genus is beautiful l)eyond description and well 
deserve their i)o|)ularity. The above notes as regards treatment 
are applicable to the whole genus and need not be repeated.

the upper surface is confined to the back of the neck and rump. 
It is a native of South P^astern Brazil. 
Yellow-bellied Chloro Tanaobr iC. ImniipenHiK) -. 
This is very similar to C. riridix, and is probably not entitled to 
specific distinction ; Dr. P. L. Sclater held this view, but for lack 
of material hesitated to unite it with riridis. The probability 
is that it is merely a local race. 
Practically the only distinction between the two is that the 
yellow of the abdomen is of a darker and richer hue, and the col- 
our areas, especially of the under surface, are more sharply 
defined. 
It is a native of Colombia and Ecuador.

bearing a general resemblance to the two preceding species, it can
