horn -coloui'; legs and feet l)lackish. This species is known to 
Britisii aviculture, Mr. A. Pum presenting living specinions 
to the London Zoo in February 1908 (vide " Dird Xoivs," 
Vol. Ml. p. 23). 
I had one day at liming with a genllcnian resident in Trin- 
idad. We made, a few captures, one of wliicli was a very beauti- 
ful Tanagei', the Yellow-bellied (C'«7//«<r /la ri rriifri.'i) . I u sed too 
much of the native lime and spoiled the plumage of some of 
my captures removing it; this particular bird was minus tlie 
pi-imaries of one wing and two-thirds of its tail (the adhesive 
quality of this lime is no doubt responsible for so many 
Tanagers arriving in this country so thinly clad); his feathers 
have since grown and he is a very fine bird, and probably the 
only one in this country at the present time 
[I am of the opinion that this bird is the sub-species 
vieilloti as this is common to Trinidad. Dr. P. Tj. Sclater, 
comments a§ follows in the " B.M.C. Vol. xi.": — 
" 111 former writings I have kept a form of this specie.s distinct 
" as C. vieilloti; but tiie diflereuee (consisting merely in the 
"deeper tinge of the yellow-belly) is so slight that I liave now 
" united the two forms as sub species." 
There are really three species and one sub-species very 
nearly alike, which possibly I had better quote. 
Braziliensis — belly white. 
Flaviventris — belly pale yellow, bend of wing thalassinc 
l)lue; sub-species vieilloti — belly deeper yellow, bend of wing 
bright blue. 
Bolivianu—helly pale yellow, bend of wing bright blue. 
Our esteemed member Mr. E. W. Harper- presented a 
specimen — said to be C. flaviventris — to the London Zoo in 
Juh 190G. If correctly defined this was the first sjiecimen 
of this species to reach this country alive, but I made it out 
to be C. brasilieusis, for the belly was white during the whole 
of its life at the Zoo— however, it still remains on the Zoo 
list a.': C. flaviventris. 
The Yellow-bellied Tanager (C. flaviventris) is a ];eautiful 
species indeed — the upper surface is black, with the forehead, 
front of cap, sides of head, margins of larger wing-coverts and 
rump bright blue; smaller upper wing-eoverts shining tur- 
quoise-blue; under surface of body bright blue, varied with
