ORNITHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS 
7. GALBULA CHALCOCEPHALA, Deville. 
M. Deville, in the Revue Zoologique 1849, p. 55, describes this 
species, but does not tell us in what way it differs from the pre- 
ceding. On a late visit to Paris, I had intended to clear up my 
doubts on this subject, and for that purpose purchased two spe- 
cimens of E. Parzudaki, which he told me were procured from 
M. Deville and were therefore types of the present species. These 
birds I find to be no other than G. albirostris, but as Mr. Cassin 
considers M. Deville’s species distinct, I am unwilling to unite the 
two without further inquiry.

9. GALBULA INORNATA, Sclater, Sr. Nov. 
G. brunnescens ; tectricibus alarum superioribus et uropygio 
viridi tinctis, mento albescente ; pectore rufescentiore brunneo ;

Habitat, Brazil (Parzudaki). 
This Galbula , which I believe to be previously unnoticed, I pur- 
chased in Paris of M. Parzudaki. It was wrongly marked G. leu- 
cogastra , the true leucogastra being the one last described, which 
was first made known by Le Vaillant’s figure. It is of a nearly 
uniform brown, lightest on the top of the head and breast, darker
