eyes ; sides of the head, ear-coverts, and throat light blue, the latter bordered by a band of 
scarlet ; breast yellowish green. In other respects similar to the male. 
Hab. Peru (Tschudi). 
We have been unable to obtain specimens of this rare bird so as to give a personal 
description. Dr. Finsch, of Bremen, kindly took a careful description of the male and female 
contained in the Museum of that town, and also made accurate water-colour drawings from 
the specimens ; from this source our Plate and descriptions are taken. Though described 
so many years ago, no particulars as to its habits have been given in any work ; and 
apparently specimens are not to be obtained easily. In fact, this species and C. versicolor 
seem to have become extinct.
