ALLIED TO £. CHLOROTICA. 
On this species Mr. Sclater remarks, ‘ Cabanis has described a 
bird in Schomburgk’s Reise nach Guiana, vol. ii., which he calls 
Euphonia minuta, and which he describes as very like the female 
of Huphonia chlorotica, but smaller, and probably $ of a smaller 
species. Therefore I think it not unlikely, that your Z. strictifrons- 
is the male of this species.” 
5. EUPHONIA XANTHOGASTRA, Sunpevatu. 
Golden Titmouse, Edw. Birds, pl. 263, f. sup. — Euphone xanthogaster, Sundevall, 
in Vetensk. Acad. Handl. 1833, pl. x. f. 1. 
Purplish black above; lower parts, tail-coyers included, and front 
to behind the eye, orange-yellow ; two or three first primaries 
wholly black, the basal half of the inner webs of the remaining 
remiges white, with an oblique termination; a postmedial oblong 
White spot on the inner web of the external pair of rectrices. Beak 
moderate, wholly black. Wing, 2.4. 
Habitat, Brazil (Sundeyall), Surinam (Edwards). 
It is impossible to say whether the Luphonia afinis, thus vaguely 
oe by Lesson, Revue Zoologique, 1842, p. 175, belongs to 
Present group, and whether in that case it forms a sixth species, 
e IS synonymons with one of the above: “ Capitis dimidia parte, 
orace, abdomine, tectricibusque inferioribus aureis; sincipite, 
collo, gula, dorso, alis cauddque cyaneo violaceo tincto; alis totis 
ugerrimis; rostro nigro, pedibus rufis. —Hab. Realejo.” This 
Most careless of writers has not told us which half of the head is 
eae but from the sinciput being violaceous, it would appear to 
te! Posterior half. I suspect, however, that Lesson meant to 
and ese for sincipite, in which case the front would be yellow, 
of € general coloration of the bird would agree with the group 
ore us, though its red legs and Mexican habitat probably indicate 
distinct: species, 
fo + ee remarks, “I believe Edwards’ figure to be intended 
maitia lorotica vera, and not for this species, which is not from 
mi, but from N. Brazil and New Granada.
