ILLUSTRATIONS OF ORNITHOLOGY. 
We are indebted for a description of this apparently new species 
of Calliste, to P. L. Sclater, Esq., of Corpus Christi College, Ox- 
ford. 
CALLISTE CHRYSONOTA, ScuatTer. 
C. supra nitidé lutea, capite fulvescente, alis cauddque nigris, viridi 
limbatis, regione paroticé lorisque atris; infra corulescens, ventre rufes- 
cente ; rostrum superius nigrum, inferius albescens; pedes cinerei.— Lon. 
tota, 4.7; ale, 3.74. 
“Tus species is nearly allied to C. cayana (Linn.), from which 
it may be easily distinguished by the yellow colouring of the back, 
which in C. cayana is green. The colouring of the lower sw- 
face nearly resembles C. eayana, except the bluish tinge on the 
breast, which is hardly apparent in the latter Species ; it is also 
a quarter of an inch shorter in the wing and altogether smaller. 
My specimens were purchased without any locality being marked; 
but from the mode in which the skins are prepared, I believe them 
to-be from Cayenne. Mr. Strickland has also a skin of this bird, 
and there is one in the British Museum.
