of large species, but not very like any of them. The bill resembles that of 
C, vitriolina, and stronger than that of C. hrasiliensis. In colour above it 
resembles C. cyanescms, and in the form of the feathers on the back and 
breast C. cyancyptera and Q. atricapilla. J. Cabanis, J. f. 0. 1866, pp. 163- 
165. 
Pcecilothrcmpis airicrissa is a new species from Ecuador, very like the

by its entirely black vent. J. Cabanis, J. f. O. 1866, p. 166. 
Compsocoma cyanoptera is a new species from Ecuador, very like C. sump~ 
ttiosa, but with the edges of the quills blue. Idem, tom. cit. p. 236.

others of the same group, having tlio hind head to the back, sides of the

Very nearly resembling T. luctuosus, Lafr. & d’Orb., but difiering by being 
larger. A. Leotaud, Ois. Trinid. pp. 303, 301. (Positively identified with 
the latter from examination of a type specimen. P. L. Sclater, Ibis, 1867,
