DESCRIPTION OF SOME NEW SPECIES OF BIRDS. 
I observed the above new species of Capito in Lord Derby’s 
museum at Knowsley ; it is nearly allied to C. richardsonii, Gray, 
but differs from it in having the head black, and the tips of the 
feathers deep crimson, while in the latter, the feathers are entirely 
crimson, and not of so deep a tint. 
CAPITO CAPISTRATUS, Eyton. 
Viridis fronte, genis lineaque superciliari cinereis, gula notaque 
supra naribus ad basin rostri atris, vertice, occipite capistroque 
loete aurantiacis, partibus inferioribus sulphureis viridi strigatis 
reliquiis viridibus, tarsis pedibusque atris, rostro marginibus llavis 
reliquis atratis. 
Long. corp. 5.2 ; ros. iron. 8 ; tar. 9 . 
The above bird is nearly allied to JMicropogon haurtlaubii , Rev. 
Zool. 1845, but differs from it in wanting the black band on the 
breast. Specimens of it are in the Knowsley Museum and my own. 
Mine were purchased from Mr. Warwick, but I am not aware of the 
locality from which they were obtained. 
ANABATES FLAMMULATUS, Eyton. 
Anabates capite, pectore, collo dorsoque atris singulis pennis 
medio flavo brunneo late strigatis, dorso imo rectricibusque alarum 
oliyaceo castaneis, ventre crissoque ochraceo flavis similiter pectore 
strigatis cauda ferruginea rostro pedibusque nigris. 
Long, corp 3.5; ros. from lb; tarsi 1 . 1 . 
My specimen was obtained from New Grenada. I observed also 
two specimens in the Knowsley collection. The form of the bill in 
this bird precisely resembles that of Anabates cristatus, Spix.
