ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
CTilorospingus pileatm is a new species from Costa Rica, hardly resembling 
any other of tlie genus. It differs from C. fiavipectus by its black head with 
white streaks on either side of it, and from C. superciliaris by its stouter bill 
and the colour of the lower parts. 0. Salvin, P. Z. S. 1864, pp. 581, 682. 
Tanagra olivina is an undescribed species discovered by Natterer in 
Brazil, allied to T. striata, but differing fi’om that bird by both sexes being 
similar in plumage, and the yellowish colour of the throat and abdomen. 
P. L. Sclater, P. Z. S. 1864, p.‘607. 
PLOCEIDiE. 
Textor castaneoauratus is described as a new species from Central Africa, 
differing from the Hyphantornis castaneofusca of Dr. Hartlaub by its smaller 
size and yellow abdomen, 0. Antinori, Cat. Ucc. Affr. centr. p. 65. 
Textor atrogularis and T. chrysopygus are described as new species from the 
Djour-country. The former is very like T. vitellinus, but with a yellow cap j 
the latter resembles the former, but is a little larger and stouter, and with a 
bright yellow rump : further on (p. 253) the author considers it a doubtful 
species, and probably the same as T. vitellinus. T. von Heuglin, J. f. O. 
1864, pp. 246, 246. 
Euplectes pyrrhozona, if newf is described from the Djour-country. 
T. von Heuglin, J. f. 0. 1864, pp. 246, 247. It is probably identical with 
E. jlammiceps. 
Fovdia hmnatocephala is described as new from the Djour-country. 
In form of the bill it resembles the genus Quelea, but in distribution of colour 
it is like F. erytkrops. T. von Heuglin, J. f. O. 1864, pp. 250-254. 
Estrelda melanopygia is described as a new species from the Djour-country. 
Very like E. astrild, but with under tail-coverts whitish, and second and 
third rectrices conspicuously white. T. von Heuglin, J. f. O. 1864, p, 251. 
Lagonosticta lateritia is described as a new species from the Djour-country, 
resembling L. rufopicta, but with whitish-grey under tail-coverts. T. von 
Heuglin, J. f. O. 1864, pp. 251, 252.

Loxia mexicana not distinct fi’om E. americana. P. L. Sclater, P. Z. S. 
1864, p. 174. 
Loxia halearica, A. von Homey er, Ber. XIV. Versamml. D. O. G. pp. 17, 18. 
(Error corrected J. f. O. 1864, p. 224.) Some facts respecting this local 
form of L. curvirostra are added to those previously recorded (J. f. O. 1862, 
pp. 266-258) by its discoverer, the author, who subsequently (J. f. O. 1864, 
pp. 322-324) expresses his opinion that the birds found by Mr. Tristram in 
Southern Algeria must belong to L. halearica, and gives a table of measure- 
ments of this form. 
Loxia pityopsittacus, L. curvirostra (with young), L. hifasciata, and L. leu- 
crptera are figured. J. Gould, B. Grt. Br. part v. 
Crithagra barhata is described as new from the Djour-country. T. von 
Heuglin, ,T. f. O. 1864, pp. 248, 249. It is probably identical with Serinus 
ictenis (Vieill.).
