I see from the Zoo list that a specimen, sai<l to be of this 
species, was received on May 3()tli, 11H)4, which I failed to note. 
The authorities called it the Blue-capped Tanager, which causes 
me to doubt it being correctly defined, as this species has the cap 
green and the occiput only turquoise-blue ; therefore as Blue- 
capped is more api)licable to C.ptrfrii, I have ventured to name 
this species as above. 
It was presented by Captain Pam. 
One can only hope that the time is not distant when the 
whole of this lovely genus will be known to English Aviculture, 
and also our knowledge of their wild life and nesting arrange- 
ments increased.
