ORNITHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS 
Habitat, Wood-region of North and Middle Peru (Tschudi) ; 
Valley of Banos near Tungaragua, Cisandean Ecuador (Bourcier) ; 
Anolaima;-New Granada (Chaponl). 
The présent species was first described by Dr. Tschudi, who states 
that he found jthe species of the genus Callospiza, among which he 
included this, only in the hot Wood-region of North and Middle 
Peru, on the highest trees. M. Parzudaki sent specimens to London 
last year, which were brought from New Granada by'a M. Chapoul, 
ticketed “ Aglaia chapoul,” one of which is the specimen here 
figured ; being the property of Mr, Edward Wilson, who has kindly 
allowed me to examine and describe specimens of both the rare 
species of this genus, besides many others, preparatory to their 
again crossing the Atlantic to their final destination in the Phila- 
delphian Museum, The Prince of Canino does not seem to have 
been aware of these facts, for he described.a single skin of this 
species, brought home by M. Bourcier from Ecuador as new, and 
dedicated it to that gentleman as Calliste bowrciert, a compliment 
which I regret the stern laws of priority forbid me to continue.
