SYNOPSIS 
OF THE 
TANAGRINE GENUS CALLISTE, 
WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 
By PHILIP LUTLEY SCLATER, B.A. 
3 2 Prince Canino, in a paper in the Comptes Rendus de [Aca- 
démie des Sciences, for January 20, 1851, has divided this genus into 
“everal others, and M. Reichenbach forms two or more of it. But 
‘ome of the names proposed cannot be used, having been previously 
“mployed in different senses; and I am unwilling to establish new 
ones in their places, secing, in the first place, that Ornithology is 
“ready overburthened with the multitude of new genera, and se- 
RE because there appears absolutely no difference of structure 
& : forty-eight birds hereafter named, sufficient to warrant generic 
“Paration. They, however, divide themselves naturally into groups, 
oe Thave given names, not as genera or subgenera, but merely 
© sake of greater convenience of arrangement, 
hese are as follows :—
