There are two skins of this species in the British Museum, which 
Mr. George Gray has kindly allowed me to examine, receiyed from 
San Domingo, to which island Buffon attributes his “ Organiste,” 
whence Gmelin formed the name “ Pipra musica.” A 9 in my own 
collection is apparently from Cayenne, This is curious, as the 
Trinidad species is H. niyricoll's, of which I have several gs and 2s 
received from that island. The figures of Desmarest and Vicillot 
both give a yellow throat to this species ; but I believe Desmarest’s 
bird to have been in an immature state, as there are appearances 
of the black on each side of the neck, and Vieillot’s figure was 
probably merely copied from it.
