that C. amazonicm is not a. separate species; lor tlu; fj^iiidaiKK! of our re:ul(!rs, we \\io\M 
remark that the bird so called is in all resp(;cts similar to (J. auratm, exc(i])t tliat it lius ;i. 
deeper and more ruddy orange throat. 
Mr. Bartlett, who has recently obtained numerous specimens of this bird, and has h;i.(l 
great opportunities of observing its habits while travelling in South America, has kindly 
furnished us with the following note : — 
" C. 'perumanus is common in Chamicuros. It is always to be found in flocks on very 
high trees, feeding on the different fruits, in company with a great number of C(jBreUdm. 
There is no doubt that these birds also feed on insects ; for I occasionally fed four young 
birds of this species, which were brought to me by the Indians, with locusts and spiders ; 
they eat them voraciously, and appeared to thrive on them. I also fed them on bananas 
and a little boiled meat, and kept them for some time ; but being obliged to leave them 
to the care of some Indians, they died. The four were from one nest, and I should think 
that they probably represented the usual number of eggs laid. They breed in holes in 
the trunks of trees. Their note is short, a double sound, somewhat resembling the call 
of a Dove." 
The figures in the accompanying Plate and the descriptions are taken from specimens 
in our own collection, obtained from Mr. Bartlett.
